For what ever reason I can't get BeIN sports. My Saudi bank debit card with a visa logo didn't work. My foreign one as well. Is there an alternative for someone who wants to see EPL football (soccer)?

Streaming site, paid, free, anything. If its something that requires a vpn, Id accept that as well.

http://www.ronaldo7.net streams live matches. If the games are hard to spot, search the page (ctrl F) for 'stream' and it'll show up right away.

I don't live in Saudi but there must be a local provider - I mean a shop that has the license to supply and install beIN. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere there shouldn't be a problem as long as you can locate the number and arrange the installation. I live in the Omani interior-once I found the provider I was able to have it installed-and paid for the installation/ years package in cash.

Might not be called the same. Loads of satellite TV now in KSA. Authorities gave up the attempt to restrict or control it.

As others have said, just go to a local satellite dealer -- they're practically in every neighborhood in every town or city you could possible be in (pardon the pun) in KSA. You will pay cash for a 6 month or year's subscription, then they will come to your residence and install the dish and decoder box. Simple as that. Smile

If you have fast internet and understand the basics of computers, download Kodi onto your laptop (do a Youtube search for "Kodi download", "Kodi beinsports", etc) and there are hundreds, nay thousands of tutorials. You can watch BeinSports through your computer, and you can plug this into your TV via an HDMI cable. Get yourself a wireless keyboard/mouse for about 100 SAR and you're sorted.

An update on the beIN cable situation....on the 1st november the company changed satelite provider for it's English Language channels-from NileSat to Es'hailSat, meaning that her in Oman-all English Language coverage of sport has now gone-this includes the Rugby, which isn't covered on the Arab channels......no idea if this non-availability applies to Saudi? Having paid for a year's subscription only 2 month ago....I'm well pissed off! Mad

You are expected to live without access to rugby and English soccer on TV. My God ! Complain to the Secretariat for Human Rights ! A cruel and unnatural punishment. Whatever next ? No bacon sandwiches or Draught Guinness ?
