Champions League is AJ as well isn't it?

I'd recommend getting the extra AJ channels, +10 and HD I think is the bolt on?

I've had enough of the ridiculous charges from Du - and they keep changing the packages and channels. After Ramadan I'm back to basic package then either VPN or Bidi Bondis for any sport.

I get like that sometimes.

630ish internet, TV and home phone. I've got the basic package + AD sports + AJ Sports + OSN Pinoy (to get the four sports channels).

It gives me shit loads of terrible sport to watch with the odd nugget like the Ashes and golf and footie but literally NO other good channels.

Hopefully there will be more than one English channel in future. Abu Dhabi Sports had 3-4 in English I recall, the rest in Arabic.

Abu Dhabi Sports, angered at losing the Premier League rights, are hitting back in an attempt to hang on to viewers who might be thinking of defecting to Al Jaz - AD Sports 1 HD is currently showing women's volleyball...........

........... from the 2008 Beijing Olympics.............

Having grabbed the EPL rights I am surprised there hasn't been a lot of publicity hype from Al Jazeera? Haven't seen any myself.

Went into Du in Mirdif City Centre on Sat. Took a ticket, waited 56 mins.....

Dropped AD sports and added AJ Sports. There are 2 AJ packages, one for 35 dingers that is 1-9 (I think) and one for 70 dingers which is 1-11 and a few HD channels.

Went for the second one. Can't wait for the season to start. Getting bored of betting on teams I have never heard of, although saying that I do seem to be doing pretty well out of it.
