HBO used to have Israeli Satellites to beam its services globally. I wonder if that has changed today!

I actually do want to know how to train my dragon. I don't have a dragon nor do I know where to get a dragon. Probably the same shop as unicorns.

Yes, Pakistan needs more entertainment channels, then Education, like you need tooth aches! As if high-speed Internet was not sufficient to satisfy the dumb masses with TV on 20 hours a day and even kids watching everything, without restrictions, while also playing on the phones! Isn't it strange that one sees more Satellite Dishes on rooftops in most Third-world countries, than in developed West?? Though you couldn't find a single book in those apts and homes, but multiple TV sets are common in the homes of such poor countries.

@ Mahmood West has less satellites on rooftops because they have online subscriptions. Your arguments are so lame it's hilarious.

@RIZWAN, Somehow you missed the gist of Mahmood's argument, genius! His point was not comparison of Third-world Satellite Dishes vs ,Fiber Optic or online cable subscription. The argument was about Poor in Third-World countries, who seemingly cannot afford to send their kids to school, but can find money to install Satellite Dishes on their rooftops, balconies, sometimes, multiple dishes. Thus your lame retort is irrelevant. It is a known fact that people in the West are better educated, more productive, infact over-worked, than people in Southern Hemisphere. Hence Northern Hemisphere is known as 'First World" and 'Developed World". While people in poor countries, such as south Asia, have too much idle time to loiter sit at home and watch TV all day long, While the average westerner hardly enjoys few hours of TV a day, despite their subscriptions. Did you ever wonder, why poorest parts of any town is usually the dirtiest and cluttered?? Though vast majority of people of these inner cities (even in the West) and villages are either "unemployed or under-employed" yet they have time to sit around complaining about lack of opportunities , injustices, poverty, yet have money for alcohol, drugs and cannot find enough time or energy to pick up the trash in front of their homes??? Think about it!

Fun fact: HBO is reportedly launching its streaming service in Israel in 2026. More fun facts: HBO has picked up a series about the October 7 attacks called 'A Day in October'. Multiple Israeli articles postulate that Pakistan isusing Israeli surveillance system. Interesting. Anyways, back to what IS important. The dragons!! Imagine all the adventures flying around the world on your dragon? No PIA!!
