Arabic TV in USA

[visaqueries 111]

Are any of you subscribers to a cable or dish network that offers Arabic--Egypt stations? With my fiancé arriving weeks before the elections, he's interested to watch the events while here, if possible. Unfortunately, I'm not a TV watcher, so I don't know what is even offered in the way of subscription TV.

My husband uses google tv and watches internet news channels on the tv, most smart tvs have internet browsing built in, or you can buy it separately, there is no monthly fee for it. We also have dish world sports, it is like Netflix $10 a month and has all the soccer games that don't show on regular tv here.

We have the bestTV it's just a reciever and it hooks up to your wifi, one time fee and that's it you don't have to pay each month. We've had it for about 2 years now and it still Works perfectly we have about 400 channels, mostly Arabic, but there's some English, Persian, Turkish, etc... I would say About 90% is Arabic with the major news channels: CBC, AlNahar, AlJazeera, etc.

We tried dish network for Arabic TV and they have about 3 good channels on that package nothing special

Here's where We got ours

That looks great! He will be so happy to have "his" channels here--especially if he can watch Bassem!

I have the GL Box. I paid a one time 400$ fee and it streams all the good arabic channels over wifi to my tv - meaning your husband won't have to miss out on Arab Idol!
