satellite provider question

Withnail
By Withnail

Hello everyone,

Which satellite provider is best in Doha?

We had Showtime in Egypt, and while it wasn't great, it wasn't bad either.

I would like to hear what expats seem to go with, and which they recommend (and why).

Thanks for your help.

No Withnail, that's about it. But I find the MBC and Dubai One shows and movies just as good if not better than the Orbit stuff.

is that it? then it's the same as egypt. i thought there was more.

by free stuff, you mean the MBCs, dubai one, BBW world and al-Jazeera (as well as a few french and spanish channels)? is there something else?

You also have Orbit and ART.

I've had both Showtime and Orbit. It's gotten to the point where I only keep Orbit for the kids channels. The free stuff on satellite is good enough now. Not perfect but good enough.
