There's a black screen where Fox News should be on our telly, too - don't know how long it's not been there as not a favourite here. Oh, yes, we have now paid our du bill and we can get Fox Series OK!

FYI, we get orbit direct (not through Du), and the Fox News channel is on right now.

Whether you hate the news channel or not, banning just does not excite me

we had Fox sports as part of a DU package...it was dropped without them bothering to tell us.....no explaination no refund...... CT agree, highly annoying when we aren't informed of such things. Du didn't drop Fox Sport, though see channel 544. We're still getting ours. Maybe give them a shout and get them to double check your bouquet? Oh not to sound like a Du rep here but again, anything that disappears from a bouquet is due to the subsidiary not Du or Etisalat or whoever.

I just checked and we get Fox News on OSN but not through DU. I would really like to get Fox Sports, though, which we don't have.

Apparently it is completely banned, not even aces sable by satellite dish Wish they would ban it everywhere else. No way! Then were would Colbert, Bill Maher and Jon Stewart get their material from? ;)

Not sure why it was banned but it has nothing to do with Du. Du is simply a distributor for Showtime, Firstnet, Orbit, Al Jezeera etc. So anyone with Etisalat will have the same problem. The problem lies with the actual network provider not Du, I think in this case OSN not the distributors. HTH :)

I wondered how long it would take for a snarky comment to come in...;);)

Perhaps they read the article last week which suggested that watching Fox News made people dumb? ;);)

Anyone with Du service notice FOX is no longer viewable (if you had it of course)? The screen has gone black on both TV's, and I've gotten 2 different answers from Du (big surprise). 1. The provider has dropped FOX News. 2. There are technical issues with FOX and it will be restored shortly. That said, are there any other ways to get FOX News in JBR if Du no longer provides it?
