Hello, <br /><br />I think UBI should get an Arabic sports channel to get more customers, something like ART Sports 4 or Al Jazeera Sport will cheer all the arabs here since that we all want to see the matches of our home countries and the current channels on UBI doesnt show any of these matches..<br /><br />Hope that UBI takes that in to consideration.<br /><br />Regards.

It has been explained before for sports channel to operate in Australia they mostly have to purchase the rights to broadcast the content to that country.<br /><br />Very expensive for them to do it and zero return.

ERT shows greek first division soccer games and basketball games live.

No come on, ART Sports 4 and Al Jazeera Sport show most of the games worldwide, like World Cup, English Premier, Spanish Premier, Asia's Cup, African Cup, UEAF...all the great matches and Exclusively. <br /><br />Not like Lig TV that only show Galatasaray and Fenerbahca.<br /><br />So I think UBI should think about it more. People are moving to MySat and Optus coz ART shows soccer matches

if ART Sports shows English Prem League and will be showing the World Cup and UEFA you can forget about it<br /><br />Al Jazeera sports is only shown thru out the middle east region<br /><br />and ART Sports 4 has rights to alot of leagues in Europe and M.E. as i remember when i was in Greece we had a subscription to it for the good sports coverage it has of alot of different leagues<br /> <br /> <small>[ 02.

it's the broadcasting rights problem Amr Diab. it's been discussed so many times. <br /><br />if a channel shows international games never hold your breath. if it's showing local games only like Lig TV than you have a chance to get it on ubi. keep sending feedbacks to them.<br /><br />you can only hope that ubi gets ESPN someday for international sports.

But even if it will cost alot to get Al Jazeera Sport or ART Sport but it will be worth I think.<br /><br />UBI needs quality not quantity. For example MySat has only 6 Arabic channels but theyre all quality ones.

Amr Diab,<br /><br />I believe the ART and Al Jazeera networks have agreements with MySat/WMI.
