We don't have cable, because we don't watch much TV. We got it for a short time so we could subscribe to a soccer channel, but it never showed the matches my husband wants to watch (Spanish league..Real Madrid). I thought I remember reading somewhere about some sort of "one time purchase" box that allows access to a sports channel in Arabic. My husband doesn't really care if it is in Arabic or not, but they do seem to play the matches he wants. Anyone know what I am talking about or have any other suggestions? He's tried streaming matches over the internet with limited (and often frustrating) results.

The best suggestion I can come up with is for him to start watching American Football.

Use a VPN to watch foreign TV over the internet? I use hola to watch sports on the BBC.

The American football suggestion to put it politely it doesn't compare to "soccer" lol

It was a joke. But I beg to differ on it not comparing. They're 2 totally different sports, each likable in their own rights. The only thing I can say as far as soccer that I never experienced before but absolutely loved was the feeling of being in Berlin the night they beat Argentina for the World Cup. The buzz in the streets was something I'd never experienced in any American sporting event I've ever been to. That includes NFL, NBA, Nascar, & minor league professional hockey.

Ha. He will watch my beloved Ohio State Buckeyes football with me, but since he's still learning the rules, it's not very interesting for him.

The best suggestion I can come up with is for him to start watching American Football.

Search "Free to Air" satellites on eBay, Amazon or Alibaba. He'll need to get up on the roof and do the install, but you can get thousands of channels from all over the Middle East - sports, news, entertainment.

IPTV

We purchased a box....and we watch Many Many Arabic channels, Aljzeera, European, Turkish,Kurdish Indian French, FOX movies etc...and BIEN sports channels which broadcast every soccor game on the planet. They claim over 700 Arabic channels.

the cost after the intial box is about 30 a month...I usually get 3 months at a time.

Been a customer since July 2013 and we are happy with the service.

You did mention you dont have cable...this works through our internet which is provided by our cable company.
