No you cannot get BBC stuff or ITV yet in the U.S.A. BBC are planning on 
merging to create a couple of new cable channels in the U.S. when that 
happens A&E and PBS can kiss their BBC stuff goodbye. Also if the Murdoch 
takeover of Echostar actually happens then you will get more U.K., 
programming. In the meantime you will have to be satisfied with the BBc 
breakfast news on G9 1 at 0255hrs EST Monday to Friday. It's on for 30 
minutes. here in Bermuda the local Cable Company carries BBC World a 24 hr 
news channel interspersed with 'Top Gear' Film 97' Tomorrows World Etc' it's 
quite good but I am not signing up with Cable for one channel. If BBC Prime 
became available I would do it. That has all the regular BBC programmes. The 
cable company get this from one of the Intelsat satellites I believe. They 
have a special dish just for that one channel. Hope this helps.
