Showtime
 

Criminal minds, cold case, bones, CSI etc etc etc

Isn't this just scooby doo for grown ups?

Comedy - Everytime I check this it's either The nanny, fresh prince, friends or seinfeld....and same episodes from last month.

Sports - almost always football.

It's f'n rubbish!

Re: Showtime
 

Wacky Races was on last night..............

Classic - utterly brilliant................

Re: Showtime
 

You're right, it is mainly rubbish. If it wasn't for John Stewart, The Thirsty Traveller, Ching's Kitchen and The Simpsons I probably wouldn't bother...

Re: Showtime
 

tis why downloading is the only way to go...

MM, xx

Re: Showtime
 

the only stuff I watch is Coronations Street, Emmerdale, Eastenders and BBC Prime if I haven't got anything on download. It's good for the kids channels though.

Re: Showtime
 

the premiership coverage is nothing but excellent though !

Re: Showtime
 

They got the Ashes and Lions tours, so that is worth subscription just for that...

Heroes and Lost the only half decent programmes...

Re: Showtime
 

the football and family guy, thats about it, apart from the odd film out of about 30 or so, and sometimes MTV chill in the morning as I'm getting ready for work.

Re: Showtime
 

didn't realise they had the Ashes, excellent news :thumbup:

any craic on football next season ?

premier and below ? :thumbdown:

Re: Showtime
 

I agree....that's why we don't even have television connected.

Re: Showtime
 

does anyone else receive Showtime through Du ?

I receive mine through Du, and the on screen interaction is pretty crap, the remote control basically just changes channels

Was at a friends house in Arabian Ranches yesterday and they have the same package but have a Sky Plus type TV guide on screen, which looks much more up-to-date than mine....

When I called Du to up grade mine, they said the version i have is all that is available in the Marina ??

Anyone else in the Marina have the same version as I have or the more up-to-date version ?

Re: Showtime
 

Showtime via Du in the Marina use IP-TV to transmit the TV signal and supply a Motorola VIP 1510 STB (Set Top Box).

The problem is, the video Output of this box is the basic RCA or Composite output (Yellow, Red, White) and this is quite a poor signal for a Plasma /LCD TV.

Does anyone else have an IP-TV Set Top Box with higher quality Video output (like Component - Ycr, etc or HDMI)...

I have researched on Motorlas site and apparently they do manufacture better STB. One of them is the VIP 1550 (with Component output).

- Does Du Supply better STB for IPTV ?
- If not, are there IPTV STB available to buy in Dubai, with higher quality video output?

Re: Showtime
 

You're replying to your own post, with a post that requires a Masters in Quantum Physics to understand??

And you support West Ham??

Love it.............

Re: Showtime
 

even more unbelievable is that with Liverpool's win yesterday, we mathematically cannot win the EPL this season.....am gutted....

Re: Showtime
 

I have teh sky+ type box thing mate, you can pause, record etc etc on it,

its not HD though, it is pretty good mind you.

Re: Showtime
 

actually just saw on bbc prime they are now showing tittybangbang and the mighty boosh, ace.

Re: Showtime
 

Dont mention the war!

Re: Showtime
 

Hopefully they will still have Prem and Championship next year as its not too bad a service... Plus they have rugby and cricket tours, so keeps me happy....

Re: Showtime
 

Yes they will be showing the British Lions tour of South Africa as well as the Ashes so I will be keeping up my Dhs87 monthly payments. We also love CSI, Bones, Ghost Whisperer, Survivor and all that stuff. As for comedy, the Simpsons seem to be on more than anything else. Not my cup of tea but good if you like it.

Re: Showtime
 

Just checked and apparently as my Showtime comes via Du, the only set top box's they do is the one I have (very basic) although they tell me they are planning to launch the 'Recordable Set Top Box' in May and will upgrade all existing customers with these......famous last words...

Re: Showtime
 

do you have to get it through Du then?

Re: Showtime
 

Aye, Springs is the same as Marina.. Only thru Du, basic box and no HDMI output...

Show Comedy has 2 excellent shows 10pm and 10.30pm.. Daily Show w/ John Stewart and The Colbert Report... They are probably the most reliable way to get political news from the US.....!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Oh, and google John Stewart vs. Jim Cramer.. An excellent match up where he nails the Mad Money host......

Re: Showtime
 

Couldn't stand that john guy and then watched it one day and started to like the show, then obviously watched colbert.

Gone off cobert a bit now as his show doesn't have much substance and he just seems to like his own voice.

The daily show wjs is decent enough.


There's golf on tv right now!!!!:thumbup:

Anyone know if the US masters is being covered this week?

Re: Showtime
 

Atilla aint happy I just switched channels to watch Emmerdale :)

Re: Showtime
 

:thumbdown: Shouldn't you be cooking dinner?

Re: Showtime
 

done it :thumbup:

Re: Showtime
 

Showtime is crap but if you are a football fan there is no choice. I don't know how they justify two comedy channels. My favourite program is Banged up Abroad on Nat Geo Adventure, especially the ones where some ugly bloke is talked into bringing shed loads of coke back from Peru by some stunna and then can't believe that actually he was duped and has to spend 10 years in some shithole prison. Genius.

Re: Showtime

showtime is the package to have for uk footy but we need a big dish to get it thanks for your reply
martin

Re: Showtime
 

I would have been interested in trying to help you in that case but we don't have the slingbox, just the basic box.

Re: Showtime
 

yes its finding someone with showtime who has a slingbox and wants uk tv in return but theres a old saying if you don't ask thanks again blue cat:)
martin

Re: Showtime
 

we haven't got a slingnbox because we have a hard drive on the DVD player. We might get one when we move in the summer though.

Re: Showtime
 

well you know who to shout if/when you get one i will be stopping around for a while there's some good reading and banter on here

Re: Showtime
 

think you may be confusing showbox and slingbox BC.

Re: Showtime
 

I think you are right? can we get slingbox here?

Re: Showtime
 

think u can get them online.. but only of use if you have a satellite dish, sky subscription and broadband back i the UK.

Re: Showtime
 

yes thats right
what i am wanting/hoping to do is send sky to bla and receive showtime in return using a slingbox
i no showtime is h*****d and could get it for fr** but its the size of the dish needed over here to receive it some info below on the slingbox how it works etc

Re: Showtime
 

I doubt you will pick up showtime in the UK. thats not what a slingbox is for.
you need someone with showtime in the UAE and attach a slingbox to that

Re: Showtime
 

sorry i thought thats what i said
