Local Arabic channels, Indian serials, Pakistani drama, Filipino news, British favourites and the sport everyone argues about. Organised the way UAE households actually watch.
Most providers advertise a number and hope you never count. We would rather you check the groups below, name the channels you actually watch, and test them during the trial. If something essential is missing, say so before you pay.
Local UAE channels are in the base pack, not an add-on.
Indian, Pakistani and Filipino groups are organised by language.
Sports sits near the top of the list, not buried in a category.
Catch-up and EPG are available where the broadcaster provides them.
4K feeds are marked, so you can find them without guessing.
Tap a group to see representative channels. Availability can change at the broadcaster level; ask us to confirm a specific feed before ordering.
The UAE lineup first: Dubai TV, Abu Dhabi TV, Al Emarat, Sama Dubai and the local sports feeds, plus the wider MBC, Rotana and LBC groups. News, Ramadan drama, Gulf football and Arabic movies are all in the same subscription.
Best for: Emirati households, Arabic-speaking expats and anyone who wants local news without a set-top box.
Hindi general entertainment, regional-language channels and the shows families in Dubai actually talk about โ Colors, Star Plus, Zee, Sony and SAB, plus Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada packs. Bigg Boss, serials, cricket and Bollywood films are covered.
Best for: Indian families in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah who want the same channels they had at home.
Geo, ARY, Hum, PTV and the news channels, with the cricket feeds that matter when Pakistan is playing. Urdu drama, morning shows and match coverage are grouped together so you are not hunting through 20,000 channels at 8pm.
Best for: Pakistani households and cricket fans across the Emirates.
TFC, GMA Pinoy TV, Kapamilya and Cinema One, plus ANC for news from home. Filipino nurses, engineers and hospitality teams make up a huge part of the UAE workforce, and this pack is built around the shows and family back home they keep up with.
Best for: Filipino expats in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.
British expats get the familiar terrestrial and news channels; American, Canadian, Australian and European groups fill in the rest. Useful for homes where one person wants Premier League build-up and another wants a US crime drama.
Best for: British, American, Canadian, Australian and European expats.
Football, cricket, basketball, UFC, Formula 1 and the big PPV nights. Sports is the reason most people in the UAE start looking at IPTV, so this group is tested at peak evening hours rather than at 11am on a Tuesday.
Best for: Sports fans who are tired of three separate subscriptions.
A large on-demand library alongside the live channels: new Hollywood releases, Bollywood, Arabic cinema, Turkish and Korean drama, documentaries, and a kids section that is easy to hand a tablet to.
Best for: Family movie nights and binge-watchers.
The groups above are broad. These are the specific packs UAE viewers ask for by name โ useful if one language or one league is the reason you are buying.
Hindi and Urdu general entertainment, plus Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati and Punjabi channels. Family serials, films, news and cricket in the same subscription.
Local UAE news, Gulf drama, Arabic cinema, religious programming and childrenโs channels. MBC, Dubai TV, Abu Dhabi TV, Rotana, LBC and the main news feeds are grouped so you are not scrolling through thousands of entries after iftar.
Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, Saudi Pro League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, IPL, PSL, international cricket, NBA, UFC, F1 and tennis. Ask us to confirm a specific fixture before you buy around it.
A specific regional feed can change at the broadcaster level. Send the channel name before ordering and we will confirm it rather than promise it.

Check a channelYes. Dubai TV, Abu Dhabi TV, Al Emarat, Sama Dubai, Dubai Sports, Abu Dhabi Sports, MBC and Rotana are part of the standard lineup. Arabic channels are not a paid add-on, and you can switch between Arabic, English and South Asian groups inside the same player.
Yes โ Colors TV, Star Plus, Zee TV, Sony, SAB and a wide set of regional-language channels are included. That includes the feeds used for Bigg Boss and the major Hindi serials.

The service carries more than 20,000 live channels and over 100,000 movies and series. The honest answer is that nobody watches 20,000 channels. What matters is whether your five or six favourites are stable at 9pm โ which is why we send a trial first and ask you to test the channels you actually watch.
Often, yes. Send the channel name and country to our WhatsApp team. If it is available on the upstream feed we can usually add it, and if it is not we will tell you rather than promise something we cannot deliver.
