I'm not Brit, but we have BBC, LOL!  Cox channel 137...I think there is another but not sure. Call a satellite company to find out your options...DirecTV, Dish, etc. Not that it be much use, but we also have Deutsche Welle (Germany Television) too. But I'd call satellite companies to see if you have options. |

Do you have BBC, or BBC America (which is American-owned)? THere are multiple British BBC channels in GB, anyway. I'd agree that satellite companies would be the place to look for foreign channels. |

LOL, that's the other one I was thinking of, BBC America and BBC. If they are American owned, why do they have a British call address and news from London? Are they partially American owned or have American investors you mean? Also, this might make you laugh but our gay Channel, LOGO (cox 159...save the gay cox jokes people ) has a lot of original British programming. Right now I'm am learning about Manchester and how England's 2nd largest city isn't the industrial mecca it once was...  |

Base on their websites neither Direct TV or Dish Network have specific British international plans

BBC America is, or was the last time I checked, headquartered in NY and licensed to the same folks who run Discovery Channel. They run a LOT of British programming, of course, including news, but under an agreement with the BBC. |

Cool...good to know! I'd still check with satellite companies. Also look into the "slingbox" as it can tune in international stations and especially those from England. Sling Media - Slingbox |
