[QUOTE="smoggy07, post: 965125, member: 298987"] Yup, you mention the MBC package, some are Arabic only though and the only one I know that broadcasts 99% of the time with movies (some old but others very new) in English soundtrack is MBC2, which is why I chimed in with my 2 pennies worth about MBC2 on 7W When in Morocco in January it was one of the only English language channels (channels showing original soundtrack if we must get picky) I could find on 7W or 26E apart from the BBC/CNN/Sky News channels that is. The others that alternate between Arabic, French and English at times are MBC4 and MBC Action (so I learnt when I was under the footprint) If I was in the OPs shoes or on his vessel and I was getting bugged for English Language TV I'd be looking at 7W, you could fill 3 of the channels up with news, MBC2, MBC4 and MBC Action on the other 3, that way atleast 4 of the 6 channels would be showing something in English most of the time (or even only 1 or 2 news and leave 1 or 2 channels to alternate between sports channels) I can't really input much more as I only had access to 7W and 26E when I was there apart from mentioning the 15 to 20 or so FTA sports channels that are up there on 7W but as I don't really "do sports" I didn't take much notice of them [/QUOTE]
