Hi,
Can you please tell me how we can get the channel Iqraa in the US? What about the other arabic channels? Not all of them are listed on sadoun.com. Is the satellite HOTBIRD accessible with the receiver we buy from sadoun.com?

Thank you!
Hasnaa

If you don't see the Arabic programming you want on either DishNetWork or Galaxy 25 FTA then one option would be to buy a HAVA and have a friend or relative oversees send you that programming over the internet.
