would anyone know what programs do they show in cable tvs in qatar? i'm keen of finding out whether they're going to show amazing race, survivor, the apprentice and america's next top model.
1) Yes there is cable - its QCV; largely most appropriate is MVDS
You get different channels retransitted from Paid Satellie Provided mainly:
Showtime
Orbit
ART
Star
TV Series - America Plus, Paramount Comedy, Star World, TV Land and (BBC Prime and UKTV being English) including the reality TV, Desperate, Sex and City etc ...
plus more 7/8 movie channels, 6 sport channels, 4 maybe Discovery Civ type channels,
The only thing I think it is lacking is music channels only got 2 crap ones.
Then you can get satellite, there are 800 free2air channels, only a few you'd be interested in probably with many channels having erotic content of some sort 24/7 which is what perplexes me with movie censorship.
I have also seen Sex and City type DVDs in rental places e.g. family food and can be bought at Qatar Duty Free too.
so much for my reality tv addiction then huh? well, thanks for the information. i guess i'll just have to find another way of keeping me busy and entertained. hehe.
There isn't cable service per se in Qatar. The local communications company, Q-Tel, receives certain channels and rebroadcasts them as part of its package for people who don't have or don't want satellite.
Their broadcasts of certain channels have a 30 minute delay to censor anything inappropriate, ie nudity.
You can watch some of these shows on satellite. One TV, broadcasting out of Dubai, had the Amazing Race and American Idol. They haven't broadcast the Race again and they're very erratic. They had the Sopranos and dropped it after one year.
Qatar's winter months are brimming with unmissable experiences, from the AFC Asian Cup 2023 to the World Aquatics Championships Doha 2024 and a variety of outdoor adventures and cultural delights.
