We are moving to Doha early in October and wanted to find out if there is a way we can use our SA DSTV dish and PVR in Doha?
Thank you!

Hi there,

thanks for the feedback.

I saw an old post on this site where a South Africa was selling theirs as they were moving to a country where it doesn't work and they said they could also give contact details of someone to install, so I figured it was possible then (2008) and might still be possible!

Would be great to be able to watch Mnet, Supersport etc..

If anyone else knows how this can work - please let me know!
