Free Sat TV with a Dreambox 8000

Hi @all,

I am new to Dubai and live in the Marina Promenade. Actually our building is served by DU for television. But they only allow you to use their own decoder box. From Germany I brought my nice Dreambox 8000 along. Are their also English free channels available that I can view with the Dreambox? Or is there even a Pay TV provider who is providing you with a smartcard only which I could put into the Dreambox?

Which satellite I should use?

BR,

If you can't use regular dish try use Selfsat Quad it's look like small solar panel :)

Your DM8000 is perfect to access to astra19,2E&hotbird13E where you can find lots of fta programs from germany or you can use prepaided HD+ or other smart solutions ;)

I think, such a flat antenna is too weak for those satellites. Any experience?

I have no personal experience with such antennas in UAE but this is equivalent of 70-80cm dish.
