Which channel is the Preston North End - v - Chelsea match being shown on here in Doha?

I know I will be able to get it streamed over the Internet, but I would rather go and watch it on TV - better quality and all. I only have the Showsports channels on my TV and it's not on there. I usually go to Sharazad in the Ramada to watch it, but having called them, they say that they don't open until 5pm (kick off is 3.30pm KSA) so I'm stuck!

Please help, if anyone knows which channel it is being shown on or where I can go to watch it it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Jayne.

Thanks,

Just found out that Garveys are showing the match, so we're sorted for now, but we will certainly consider the card for the future though. We have a generic receiever, as the one from Showtime broke down within the first month and they refused to replace it!

Thanks for your help!

My apologies then, and good luck! I can't stand Chelsea!

I'm pretty sure a card you purchased now would work instantly as the guys would activate it, it's just a matter of finding out if any shops are open at this time.

Btw what kind of receiver do you have? if it's a receiver that you got from Showtime, I doubt a Jazeera card would work on it. You'll need a 'generic' satellite receiver, something like Humax or whatever.

Good luck.

Thanks, Hassan! If I bought one now, would it work straight away?

For the record, I don't want to watch Chelsea! I'm a PNE fan!!

FA Cup matches are shown on Al Jazeera sports plus. You might be able to program your receiver for those channels but you'll need a Jazeera Plus smart card too (I'm assuming you don't have one), which you can get at most satellite service shops for 275Qrs (for one year).

(Why would you want to watch Chelsea anyway? :P)
