Hi

I'm new to this forum and a really know very little about satellites etc.

My wife is from Lebanon and she has watched Badr 6 and Hotbird channels via 1.2m dish and Manhattan receiver for last 9 years. We are moving into Manchester, and are considering an apartment where we won't be able to a dish.

I heard that you can get Arabic stations via broadband. I know I can get the likes of MTV Lebanon (not the MTV music channel) on our laptops, but wanted to know if their was a receiver we could use to get whole range of channels without moving between websites, with laptop plugged into TV.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

As sold by one of the forum sponsors so you are dealing with a reputable company :)

(The site seems to be running slow this evening, normally their pages open immediately.)

Note these plug into your tv like any other set top box, and are subscription services

There are also numerous sites that aggregate tv channels webstreams onto one site
