It depends what you want. I have a Showbox for normal programmes and Orbit for Eastenders. Orbit doesn't have anything else that appeals to me as Animal Panet, Discovery etc are also on Showtime and Pehla. America Plus and an American comedy channel are on Orbit but they are the only things I have found are not on Showtime. Dubai one and City 7 both show a some Australian programmes, I am addicted to Water Rats! Also on these channels, a lot of the kid's stuff is Australian. Show Series 1 and Extra show all the CSI type dramas and UK soaps. Show Comedy is the same as Paramount. You also get a lot of sport on these channels and Show Movies is pretty up to date. If you are considering it, I can strongly recommend a Showbox. You can pause and record tv onto the hard drive and it has a reliable on screen tv guide a week in advance. Their customer service is also very very good. Hope this helps, maybe someone who uses Orbit more may be able to tell you more about it, JJ
