Come 2 me

Awesome guide, almost completely clear... I have a situation though which you will hopefully be able to assist with. I have no phone line and cannot get a dish and contract etc because my iqama is being severely delayed. I do have a receiver box though and tv antenna which I receive many channels through. I do also have Internet. Is there a way that I can get good tv (mainly I would be looking for football) considering my situation?

Thanks

I had OSN installed around 6 months ago. My installer said that I could get a chip to get ESPN America from Al Jazeera market. Any one have any info on this. I would like to get this chip before football season. Where is Al Jazeera Market?
