Hi,
My name is kashif and I have recently joined Aramco. I am working and residing at Abqaiq.
Wanted to know if any cable or paytv network shows EPl live matches here in KSA.
Thanks & Regards,
Kashif

Abu Dhabi Sports has the complete covee of EPL Matches. The subscription is only SAR400 per year but the HD Box will set you back SAR1400 there or less.

Sorry it took so long to reply. Let me check with my friend. He's the one who has it in his house. I only have OSN which does not cover EPL.
Bear in mind that for Champions League, it's Al-Jazeera and not AD Sports.

The only "official" contact numbers for ADTV in kingdom are in Jeddah and Riyadh, so might not be too much use to you if you're in Abqaiq, in actually getting it installed. However any one of the many satellite TV installation companies can supply you with a decoder with built-in subscription. I don't know about Abqaiq but in Dhahran you see vans driving around camp every day, so you can just read the phone numbers off the side of the vehicle and give them a call. Or if you already have a satellite dish you can buy the decoder from any one of a number of different outlets (Carrefour, Extra etc) and install it yourself, if you feel comfortable doing so. After you fit the box in place, you can activate your subscription either online from their website, or by calling them in Jeddah or Abu Dhabi. More details on their website: www.adtvnetwork.com/en/ or www.adtvnetwork.com/ar if you prefer Arabic. |

Its also worth noting that if you get the AD sports decoder installed, you can also use the al jazeera sports card in the same box, then you will have all the football you could possibly want!

The contact details are on the website link(s) I posted. Although, as mentioned, there are none in the Eastern Province.

Worlwide antenna can set you up with that. They drive around the camps all the time so get the mobile number off their van if you see it. You can also get the EPL on the Sky sports channels on Dreambox or Spiderbox which they can set you up with too. You won't get an English commentary on that tho - Italian.

if the football is a must see for you, I would recommend avoiding the dreambox as it can be very hit or miss and and is just not a reliable bit of kit. AD sports shows every game live in HD with english commentary and also has pre and post match ysis and highlights shows on throughout the week.
