Hi guys, the SA decoder can be used. DSTV still available here in Abu Dhabi using C Band card. There is a company here where you subscribe via the UK. Will try and find the Tel no and address and post it here. If it will be running after January 2008 I don't know....these guys says it would. Apparently DSTV will change the mapping in January so that UAE does not pick up any signal?? Don't know if it is true.
Will keep you posted
