    English language channels on G19 @ 97w

    These are the ones we keep on our channel list for 97w.

    Daystar, Alajazeera, SOAC, EBRU, Tele Culture, MHz Woldview, Russia Today, Press TV, and CTVN are all or mostly English. Saudi TV, Saudi TV2, Kuwait TV1, Kuwait TV2, and Kuwait TV3 are English some of the time.

    I like Alajazeera news for a different viewpoint similar to BBC, and there are some good movies and TV reruns on the Kuwait channels in English with Arabic subtitles. EBRU is sort of a low-budget NatGeo.

    There are more English language channels on 97w, mostly religious themed, but we delete them from our channel list for this sat.

    Blind scan them all in, then weed them out to your liking.

    Is it really necessary to call it that type of programming?

    If you are a Scouser, please leave this forum now, as it is too intelligent for you.

    Why does the river Mersey run through Liverpool?
    Because if it walked, it would get mugged.

    I agree, I don't think I like that reference to a particular middle eastern ethnic group. I think the poster should edit that.

    Lets not use derogitory terminology...the programming is Arabic.
    University of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs mens hockey team
    Defending National Champions
    current number 3 in the country (but doesnt mean much honestly)
    number 3 in the pairwise (this means everything...top 15 teams get in the tourney)

    Life is good

    fyi: Sometimes those non-english speaking channels shows english movies. In english.
    So don't just weed them all out at first glance. Although I haven't seen much on there here lately though.

    But have seen some english movies at one time or another on these also...
    IshstarTv, NoorTv,Etv,PashaTv,Kurdsat,ccn4,Globec007.
    I just add them to my Fav list when I see something english on.

    But either way, it's still sometimes fun flipping through all of them.
    Sometimes you'll see some funny stuff. lol

    >>>> Everyone should look into upgrading their OTA capabilities and get a deep fringe outdoor antenna ( with a rotator) and use a 30 db MAST MOUNTED amp. This adds a new dimension to the meaning of "FTA".
