Du Summer TV Sports....or not....
OK just about had enough of what used to be a very enjoyable summer of TV sofa sport while family away. First du go and show Wimbledon tennis on AD Sports, which is not in the package, then they hide the Test cricket on some OSN Cricket channel that noboday has heard about. But the biscuit has been taken after they switched Tour de France coverage after one week from English channel - with top Brit commentators - to the Arabic channel for the second week finale!!!

Could probably do with the next bandwidth up, but otherwise everyone is happy.. I get my sports, kid get his cartoons and wife watches whatever she watches whilst the maid is doing the housework..!!!
Wouldnt THINK of relying on either dU or Etisalat again...

UKTV can be a bit unreliable but apart from that it's definitely the way to go.

I have a spare MAG250 if anyone is interested.
You'd still need to sign up with one of the providers of course (ntv.mx seems to be highest rated at the moment).

Re: Du Summer TV Sports....or not....
No idea mate. I got the box together with a years subscription to UKTV or something similar (live TV plus catchup plus lots of movies on demand), but in addition to all the UK free-to-air stuff I had Sky Sports, Movies..
MAG250 is a generic set-top box which can be configured to be used with most of streaming services. Anyway it is just gathering dust in my house so if anyone wants to buy it make me an offer on PM. New ones are going for about 50 quid on Amazon UK.
