Is there a way to get UK channels in the US?

[rgreenpc]

Living and working in the UK about 4 months a year, I grow accoustomed to some of the shows in the UK.

Is there any way to watch them in the US?

I know that the sats that BSkyB uses are below the horizon for me ( in Florida )

Thanks in advance.

short answer...no
main reason is the satellite beam and because it is below the horizon

Affirm...

I was just assuming that it was rebroadcast... somehow the networks get feeds of the BBC etc....

Maybe its by the 'net

Lot's of us would like this, for UK & German TV, especially. No one seems to have figured out a way yet.

There are several German Channels on the GlobeCast (IA-5) Bird.... You may have to pay for it, but hey it's there...

Bob - pretty sure GlobeCast lost those some time ago. Don't see them in the lineup anymore on thier website:

Globecast had only one German channel which was German TV. They quit it in July 2005.

OOPS... That's why that Customer was upset after he got home from Vacation, with no German TV!!!!

Thanx for reminding me to catch up with the latest, Jim!!!

I spoke with GlobeCast this afternoon, and they said that Dish Network has the German Stations now!!! Except for EuroNews... LOL

But Wait, if you live in the right area, and have a well placed FTA Motorized Unit, you may find a Bird here: http://www.lyngsat.com/freetv/Germany.html I did notice a couple of Birds that you may be able to see from the North East ....
