Pirate television stations

beoutQ was a pirate pay television broadcaster that operated in Saudi Arabia between August 2017 and August 2019. The service consisted of ten satellite television channels that carried rebranded feeds of programming from Qatari broadcaster beIN Sports; it launched during a then-ongoing diplomatic crisis between Qatar and other Arab countries over its alleged state sponsorship of terrorist groups, during which Saudi Arabia blocked beIN Media Group from doing business in the country. The service operated out of facilities in Saudi Arabia, and utilised the Arabsat satellites for transmission.
