Yes, Orbit Showtime Network out of UAE for about $60 a month and AFN from the embassy. - Jul 2010
Cable TV has some English programing but it's not great (mostly B-list sitcoms from the USA on the minor networks) but Embassy staff can get AFN in their homes, providing much better English language (American) TV. - Jul 2008
AFN is free to embassy. Satellite is also available, though we don't have it, so I am not aware of the cost. - Jun 2008
