I wanted to make some senseless dimissive comment like "We already have BBC America", but honestly, this would make a better addition to Dish than most anything they have added in the past few years.
Well except the HD channels that is. But hey, BBC-HD does exist in the UK. So give it time.

BBC HD is a channel I would watch.. already watch the regular bbc channel on occasions (less now that I have more hd channels though 
)
)
I just returned from 3 weeks in Russia. This and Deutsche Welle News were the only English I was able to get on the limited televsion I saw. I would love to see both of these on DISH.
They definitely give a different perspective, not only on world news, but also news from the US.
There was a great (yet disturbing) segment about Iraq on DW, that was shot with the troops on the street and shows what it is really like to be there, casualties and all. We'll never see that on a US news channel.

Ya, BBC World and BBC America are two different programming genres..BBC World is mostly news while BBC America is a bit of everything.
Put "BBC World" into Search on your remote control, and you will find it broadcast several times a day on BBC America (channel 135) and also on a number of PBS channels (if you receive any).
I listen to BBC World on radio all the time. BBC World has come of the best interviews and news specials on television, but it is a news station and does not have entertainment series. It also has news broadcasts several times a day. I would love BBC Food or BBC Prime, but they are not available in the US.
DISH should have an international news package including CNN-International, BBC World, Deutsche Welle, the French News Channel in English, and CBC.
Journalistically, that would blow away the mediocre "news" channels currently available on DISH.
The shortwave BBC World Service has been my main news source since I was in high school (many, many, many moons ago). I'd even upgrade my service if Dish offers the option to view their TV signal.
Don't forget, Top Gear is finally on BBC World Service. Anyone who loves cars, this is the must see tv programme
Hating the current US propaganda carried by our media is not hating the US, its actually loving the US.
