Watching GAA in Abu Dhabi/Dubai

extra gravy

Hey guys,

Just wondering if there's anywhere in Abu Dhabi or Dubai that would be showing the All Ireland football final in 3 weeks? Or if there's any way of watching RTE online out there?

You can use a VPN that shows your location in Ireland, then watch it on RTE. however, the UAE has a lot of VPN companies blocked, so u need someone to set it up and send u the details.

Or USA VPN and subscribe to setanta.

Good luck.

Thanks smurfjed, it looks like Setanta Usa stream worldwide for $9.99 per game so that may be the best option

Ummm, Setanta used to have a notice once you started trying to watch the game saying that it couldn't be shown in your country due to xxxxxxx.

So it would be a good idea to try it out before the actual game to avoid disappointment.

Try this free for a week, works great for me with RTE HD

Its a Transparent proxy, so all you need to do is change your DNS server and it all just works !

I used Setanta's service in Chine and it was great.

You can watch both Hurling finals plus the Sunday game for $10 tomorrow.

In Dubai, McGettigans is very popular with the Irish community there

Here in Abu Dhabi, the Irish Society here organised the following: http://gallery.mailchimp.com/1c99572d5bd609108725d8849/images/All_Ireland_Final_Flyer.jpg

They will prob do the same venue for the Football and the Hurling replay.
