Did you get or open the SV City Phone Book? #88 will get you security who will aid you in all these matters. Have you considered going to visit their office to introduce yourself?

Dont worry about a crash, a local will assist you and you will probably find that his friend/brother/cousin studied in your country Or dial 9200-0056 if no one hurt as these are the paperwork people, Or dial any of your Arabic speaking colleagues, they will come help.

Internet depends on where you live, but as the cabling for this "new" compound internet service should be almost complete, don't spend too much on GO/STC/Mobily internet.

TV...... ummmmm, good question, no great answer... You can buy Orbit/Showtime or Pehla or similiar. The boot leg TV services are battling with encryption, so if you get a boot leg set up, it might be good for a year or a day, and there is no guarantee that you can renew it. Try Pirate Bay to aid your sanity!

Finally, if you are in SFS rather than the line, your colleagues made a handout answering all of these questions, if you are in main line, ask some of the SFS guys for a copy.
