In Tunisia, there are mostly stations watched that are broadcasted via the NILESAT satellite. Although the stations are almost exclusively of arabic origin, a few of them show around the clock american shows and series in english language with arabic subtitles. HOTBIRD can be received in Tunisia without any problems, but plays no significant role (mainly Italian and eastern European channels and PPV). The ASTRA satellites can be received in Tunisia in good quality with dishes of 120cm diameter from the north down to the Sfax region in the south. More to the south (eg. Djerba, Sahara), there are bigger diameters needed and/or the receiving quality is poor. With the latest ASTRA satellites, receiving conditions are improving, though. So is, for example, for the Astra 1M digital satellite (since early 2009), a 60cm dish diameter sufficient in the whole of Tunisia. So-called "cable" networks and providers are widely unknown in Tunisia, except for hotels, in which usually a very limited selection of non-arabic channels (5-10) can be found, which are distributed via the internal hotel cable system.
Amongst the most watched programs in Tunisia are the ones of the non-tunisian company MBC (eg. via NILESAT - satellite): | |||||||||||||||
