I'm afraid that in Qatar you're stuck with BBC World, BBC Prime, Sky News, UK TV and the other Sky-type entertainment pay channels available on subscription via Showtime / Orbit.

The only free and mainstream UK-based channel is BBC World in fact. Hotbird is full of low-quality junk in English and some of it emanating from the UK, but I assume you're referring to BBC & Co?

Are you looking to receive UK-baed channels, or US?
