Favourite TV Programmes in Doha

For TV in Doha that you can watch generally you will have to pay. We have paid extra for the Orbit package and the Premier League football too. We have the system from Qtel, and using their numbers (from what I can remember!) we like to watch:

111 to 119: UK or US based news channels including the BBC, CNN and Sky News

161 to about 175: Factual type programmes. I like the Travel Channel, the Gadget Show on channel 161. Also has the National Geographic Channel and CSI programmes. (My wife likes channel 160 Animal Planet but for me this is a trip to Dullsville)

Channels 300 to 304: This has BBC Entertainment (Come Dine With Me, One Foot in the Grave, the Home Show), Style Network (Clean House, Fashion Police) and Foot Network (I can just watch anything on this apart from some woman called Paula)

Channels 651 to about 659: Premier League football. I have to hope that Spurs are on the English speaking channels here otherwise it is just Arabic commentary. The language button on your remote control is just for decoration. Spurs lose on here as well as live or on Sky Sports at home.
