Sorry to bother people.
When I look at the TV packages that Etisalat offer it only seems to be BEIN and various other stations. Does anyone know if it is possible to get Sky or BBC TV on your TV in Abu Dhabi?

Thanks
Thomas

Using IPTV, and stuck with the 3 or 4 hour time difference (so you spend all evening watching daytime telly) it is.

What he said......or you get a better one with movies, series etc pre-loaded and 2 weeks of recorded catch-up so you just watch what you want

Or, could get something like Apple TV, run it through a DNS (courtesy of a VPN) and have the BBC, ITV, C4 apps etc.

We do both of these things and both are super solutions to the god awful TV selection with the normal packages here.

If only they could come up with better quiz shows than The Chase and Pointless.

Thank God for Dave, which shows decent repeats at all times of day

I like Pointless.

Richard Osman = Clearly a legend.

Is Dave available on Apple TV?

IPTV - best thing I did

Or you could use the opportunity to wean yourself off staring endlessly at the TV.

There's Sky Go, if you can get a VPN working with it.

I second that. use the opportunity to escape from The Idiot Box

Agreed. 64 channels of decent quality porn.

The rest is all shit and I don't have time for TV.

TV- Time Vanisher. Or as Hugh Macdiarmid called it "The Gowks' Kist". There are better things to do with your time !

yes. Like drinking and staring into the mid distance all glassy eyed.
