Default English Premier league in the Middle East

Hi guys,

Im packing up from the UK and moving to work in Saudi arabia for 12 months in September and was wondering if anyone knew which sports channels out there televise the EPL. I know last year showtime (show sports) had the rights but I read somewhere that the Abu Dhabi media company won the rights this year. Can anyone confirm that showtime won't be televising the games and if so, who will as I couldn't find any sports channels on the ADMC's website.

Cheers

Hi - were you able to get yours to work? I was planning to buy my card for ADMC this weekend...but read in the paper this week that the cards don't work on normal decoders and I need to buy a new ADMC decoder too?
