Dubai TV Guide

Want to know what’s on TV in Dubai? Well here is our Dubai TV guide! Just like anywhere else, you’ve got a lot of options, but there are a few things you need to know first. So, before you grab that remote, stick around for a few insider tips!

TV in Dubai

Exploring Dubai’s Streaming Scene

As the world shifts towards streaming services, we’re all aboard the bandwagon. Say goodbye to pricey cable packages packed with channels you couldn’t care less about and their sneaky political agendas. Just sign up for Netflix, Prime, and / or Disney, and voila! You’re set on all your devices, anywhere in the world.

 

Sweet Deals and Diverse Content

These services all function seamlessly in Dubai, and if you’re sticking around for a while, consider ditching your home country’s subscription—Dubai TV often comes with a sweeter price tag. Bonus: Dubai’s Disney+ includes a treasure trove of Starz and Hulu content.

 

Our Dubai TV Guide on the Streaming Scene

Dubai TV is pretty progressive, but when it comes to LGBT+ representation in cinema, their stance is a bit, well, mixed. However, when it comes to streaming, there’s no need to worry—explicit content is fair game, no modifications necessary.

 

Cable TV vs. Streaming?

Sure, cable TV exists here; our internet provider (Du) kindly forced it upon us, but honestly, we couldn’t care less (we binned the box as soon as we got it). If you’re a sports fanatic, premium channels like Bein might be up your alley, but hey, most of that content’s available on streaming platforms too.

 

Getting Around Geo-Restrictions in Dubai

Now, what if you’re craving content that’s geo-restricted, like BBC iPlayer or F1 TV Pro? Fear not, install a VPN on your TV or use Smart DNS. We won’t dive into the nitty-gritty here, Google’s got your back.

 

Exploring Alternative Options for TV in Dubai

There are the options of “dodgy” boxes promising every movie and series under the sun for a one-time fee. Some work like a charm, some fizzle out, and some are just plain awful. Now, we don’t use or endorse these devices (they’re illegal, but you might totally get away with it), but hey, you might know someone who’s tried them or want to take a gamble at Dragon Market. Just remember to cross your fingers (seriously, ask a friend first).
