Are British TV channels available in Qatar?

used a company called Lamina had to pay but peanuts!! At least we can watch all we want now. X factor is rubbish this time too!!!

watching it tonight, I downloaded it this morning, and me and hubby watch it when he gets home, lol

I download it from http://www.thebox.bz/ as I feel the quality of picture is much better than the slingbox (I have that too)

Nikkojay - how do you feel about last night's x factor results?

www.thebox.bz/ to download programs like XFactor etc. If you need help with the process PM me and I will help step by step.

Showtime has Coronation Street and Emmerdale, yes a few weeks old but apart from at Christmas, it makes no difference. Granada UK has 4 year old Coronation st and Emmerdale. BBC Prime is ok, especially if you have been here a few years and missed things that were on BBC1.

There is a good chance that BBC iPlayer will be available to paying interntional customers in the future so we will be able to watch all up to date tv on demand. To be honest, the tv here is not the same as the UK, old episodes of What not to Wear, Homes Under the Hammer etc with the odd drama. I watch mainly US tv now which is more current and then buy things like Ashes to Ashes on DVD as you have to wait about 6 months for Showtime to get it.

Feel free to pm me, I watch loads of tv so know the answers to most questions!

If you know people in the UK, you could get a slingbox and watch all your channels. I have my sky+ box at home connected to my slingbox, it's like you're sitting in your living room with your remote control. I can't live without tv, x factor is on tonight - yay!

How do you maeke your computer seem like it has a Uk ip address?

Yes thanks for all comments. Have managed to get channels via computer and playing on TV.Excellent!!

You can't get ITV or BBC here, since you live outside UK, however there seems to be ways by making your IP appear as if you are in UK. Then you should be able to watch some progs on line on your pc.

and some history channel too

Yep you can get BBC Prime.. Shows Eastenders 2 weeks old though same with ITV Granda shows Coronation Street..
