in my building you can get the wasla guy to give you a wasla for 40 pounds and you get all of the ART+6 showtime channels plus 3 Orbit channels (Al Youm, and 2 others)
all for 40 pounds....
but if you buy the receiver for 400 LE you actually save a lot of money per month and you get all the channels ART+Orbit+Showtime and you dont pay anything for 1 year (if you get the receivers with the 1 year free server)
