Formula 1 on TV
I have recently moved to Qatar and am in the midst of finalizing the sattelite package. I cant seem to find the channel which broadcasts Formula 1 here in Qatar as none of the available packages have Star Sports. I have spoken to a few agents around but the question still remains unanswered. Please help.
Showtime have exclusive rights to show all 380 Premiership games in the Middle East.

DSTV - they offer the formula 1 and the premier league
What about English Premier League? Which channel broadcast this top league?
Only on Aljazeera for most races, sometimes the Cross Atlantic F1s are covered on Fox Sports....check Firstnet sports..if the have the 2008 season TV rights..
johnjo - they definitely showed it last year as I watched some of the races!
And judging from the F1 logo at the top of the Al Jazeera Sport web site it looks like they'll be showing this seasons races as well.

Al Jazeera 1 or 2 carries F1 practice, qualifying sessions and the race as well. Unfortunately only in Arabic language.
None of the Showtime or Pehla / ART / Firstnet channels show Starsports in the Middleeast region due to terrestorial rights and that channel isn't supposed to be broadcasted in this region. However, I do get Starsports as I have Tatasky receiver imported from India

Sorry mate F1 is not shown here is qatar to my disapointment
Al Jazeera Sports broadcast the formula 1 races last season (with Arabic commentary).
As for Star Sports you should definitely be able to get that as part of a package, though I'm not sure which one.
