TV

With everything closed during ramadan and the sun setting around 5pm, I still haven't adjusted. Add the fact that I've been quite busy since I arrived, the only thing I've done apart from going to the gym is watching TV.

The TV in the hotel is good with around 40 channels but about 10 arabic channels.
Still 7 sports channels with all the football you want and NBA TV for basketball, I was quite happy.

That's until I saw the TV in the apartment.
Our landlord set us up today with what they call here the DREAM box.
8000 channels, yes you read well, it's eight thousand channels.
with everything from French TV, including encrypted movie channels (canal+), hundreds of movie channels and over 150 sport channels including all the sky sports.
Just incredible.
The time-shifting is in option but with that many channels, there's got to be something on.

And all that on a 46in plasma !
I'm going to have to force myself to go out.
