Television in Egypt?

[Lsab]

If anyone is interested my son showed me this website MyP2P.eu :: Watch LiveTV for free on your pc, just like your home tv!. You can watch ITV 1,2,3, & 4 very clearly, on it. I've only just had a look myself so I don't know if it's always this clear plus it's a small picture, but still. He watches lots of live sport and he downloads lots of U.S. TV series (e.g. Lost) which we watch on the computer and the quality is excellent. First time I've looked at UK programmes though - and definately not the last!

Hi Linda

I tried this last night but the picture kept breaking up; its almost like the programme doesn't download fast enough? Is there something else I should do or do I have to wait before watching?

The fountain of all knowledge i.e. my son, wants to know how fast your internet speed is but he says that if you leave it run a while it should be OK. I've just this minute tried it again and it's excellent - even on full screen.

I think that you do need to be in the UK for this unless it's changed recently.

Hi Peter, we apparently have the same. I'm told to tell you to try right clicking on the screen - click on options - type in 30 (seconds) - leave it a while so that it doesn't skip. BUT you should also download the latest Windows Media Player and Plug-ins. Hope this helps.
Having my own IT consultant is very handy bit it does make me lazy and not as computer literate as I should be. I'll be lost when he eventually leaves home!

Hello, everyone. I am new to the forum and have recently returned from trying to fit out my apartment in the British resort so can answer a few questions from earlier. LCD TV's and everything else) are available and at prices comparable to the UK so I don't myself see the point of lugging any electrical items out there. We shopped around a bit and found that the best place for your electrical goods appears to be V-Tech, which is in the shopping/eating centre on the left going up the hill, opposite the Italian Restaurant on the way to Sakalla. We got a 21" TV, a DVD player, a vacuum cleaner, a toaster and a White Whale cooker for about 2500LE, delivered in their own van. The TV is a flat-screen (CRT) model and I bought a 21" as the apartments are small and I didn't want to feel overwhelmed but, in retrospect, could have gone at least one size more.
We bought a Satellite decoder for about £50 (probably paid too much) and get, as stated earlier, Nilesat, with its 300 odd programs, about 4 or 5 English language. However, if you trawl around through the channels, it passes the time and can improve your language skills no end. Massalamah.
p.s. Take all your old (especially free from papers) DVD's.
