The higher levels of service may have direct feeds from the BBC; in fact, I think they do have "BBC America" on one of the digital tiers, but I don't care to subscribe to those higher tiers since they require the use of a cable box -- even with flat screens that already have full-range (NTSC, ATSC, 8-VSB, clear QAM) tuners.
BBC America is OK... Too many commercials, like everything else. I remember being told that cable/satellite TV would get me less commercials! Boy, did I get suckered on that!!

BBC News is vastly better than any of the American network news shows. They dont beat around the bush like our network news does.
