You'll need an Al Jazeera decoder and card . Al Jazeera have the rights for the next 2 years.

Hardly worth bothering, if the coverage of Italy-England is anything to go by. They didn't even 'go live to the stadium' for the anthems (shameful, in my view - it's just a matter of respect) and there seemed to me to be far fewer replays of incidents, tries, etc, than usual.

I've been watching on BBC through the iPlayer and by the sounds of it the coverage is much better.

Don't even know if I can get a Jazeera card to work, I have an OSN Showbox which only has one card slot and not sure whether I can remove the OSN card and replace it with a Jazeera card when required?

As long as I can continue watching through the iPlayer though, not bothered.

tried I player through a VPN but it will not play the live broadcast.. any ideas.. Aljazeerasport.tv is showing live streamed coverage but a subscription required and the quality is s**t and stop starts constantly... getting really fed up now.

you need a vpn with a uk address

the AJ card is only 300AED, it won't go in the OSN box but it does go in the AD Sports box ( or you can buy another decoder )

or get cable and pick and choose anything you want

Why not just go to a pub to watch it.

Easier said than done...

What are there no pubs in Riyadh, shit?

What do people do at weekends it must be horrible.

Don't believe there are places on earth without pubs, you must be mistaken.

It's tragic I know, however after an extensive and exhaustive search of the most informative journal on such matters it is confirmed beyond all reasonable doubt:

Yellow pages finds zero results found for "pub + Riyadh"

I spot a niche here...

It has worked for me with a VPN and iPlayer. I am in UAE if that matters.
