Almost no TV so can you recommend some great websites to us?
Greetings:
Well, my wife and I are going on a three month vacation in less than two months. My employer has cut off our Orbit/Showtime subscription for probably this reason. We will probably get it back after the summer vacation in September. In the mean time, we don’t have any TV except CNN. However, we do have (when it works) relatively high speed Internet therefore can anyone recommend some great websites that have kept them sane or at least relatively happy during their stay in the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia? Websites concerning news, movie downloads, documentaries, comedies, dramas and so on would be greatly appreciated. My wife and I especially would like to watch some British programming like BBC World International if possible but please feel free to make any recommendations you wish because my wife and I love to watch everything. Finally, we like to download programs or films so we can watch later because our Internet connection is at time unreliable. That’s it for now and we look forward to reading your responses.

The usual torrent sites, get a UK based VPN and use iPlayer etc...plenty of threads on that to get you know, but a lot of specifics might not be mentioned so they don't get blocked.

Could someone please PM me with their favourite VPN that gets through Etisalat? I have been using Torrents for some time but now the wife is demanding live TV!!
