DigiAlb Review

[czechrite]

Well, I finnaly went out and got a DigiAlb Card and I have to say I'm pretty happy with it. I live in the Slovak republic so for me DigiAlb gives me a nice handfull of movie channels and a good mix in original (English) language. There's also some channels (digi+ and Top Channel) that have modern popular TV series on.

A listing is provided at http://www.digitalblisting.com/ of which I've set up links to an Open Office document so I can print out a TV guide.

The best thing is that my wife and I can in general feel like we can see a good movie sometime in the evening if we want. There's 6 movie channels of which 1 shows new movies always and the other 5 show new and newer movies. We don't have to wonder if we got "unplugged" and can't unwind with a good tv show on those nights we really want to.

Also, it has tons of English football coverage all day.

Cons would be it's not D+ or premeere (which almosts offers TOO MUCH choice), and some programs on some channels look like it's comming off of VHS or VTR quality, but this is also no prob).

I got my card from eBay (uk). A 13 month DigiAlb card for 120 GBP which is a very competative price, comming to less than 10 GBP a month.

So, if you can get DigiAlb I recomend them.
If anyone can tell me more about ART/Arabesque I'd like to know what the channel line up is and what it's like for future reference.

Cheers.

Hello !

Apart channels and programs that you listed above Digitalb have 5 Premium Channels all dedicated for football but you should have another package called "Super Sport".
With "Super Sport" smartcard you can watch :
- English Premier League
- German Bundesliga
- Italian Serie A
- French Premier League
- Spanish Premier Division
- Portuguese Premier League
- Greek Premier League

and almost important events for every kind of sport.
In Albania this kind of package "SuperSport" cost around 160 Euro for a full year subscription.

Regards !

Well m8s,

I don't know about the rest of you, but my Digialb package gives me all the Premier sport league stuff described above (Premium 1-5) which offers tons of sport. I don't know if I have the other sport channels as of yet as I have not scanned for all of them.

Anyway, overall I'm pretty happy w/ DigiAlb as it gives me some good channels I can rely on. It's nice to get D+ and all and tps on occation (it would be nice if they offered a smaller "EU wide" package) but we're happy to have some nice movie programs we know will be on.

glad to see you are sorted out , does it go straight into your reciever or did you have to get a cam ?

yes these cards are very popular in the uk for the footy although there was talk that people who got there card after a certain time did not get the sport, also i belive you can renew the card over the phone and it is a bit cheaper that buying a new card, think the only thing that does my head in with the films is the subtitles although they seam to be up to date

ps digi + open again lol

Will digialb still have rights for premier league football next year? Im looking at how i can get the games in for next year. I hav a subscription to art sports for this year but it looks like art sports have lost the rights to next years premier league. Do the show all the saturday league games and midweek games? art sports show all the games saturday on the 6 channels. is the commentary in english? i have a technomate 1500 ci, will i need to buy a cam for it to get digialb?
