How can I watch BBC TV in America?

[GeneralFROSTY]

There are some options out there from what I have read, but wanted to get some input from those who have had experience watching BBC content in the US.

Like BBC America channel?

 

[mobius303]

They have it on Direct TV.
I do not know which Cable TV companies have it but since Direct TV is owned by AT&T it is also probably on U-verse as well.

DTV is probably the only one of the bunch that doesn't offer it in HD. I wish they'd get their act together on that.

 

[Sundowner]

I upgraded my package from DirectTV just so I could watch Ashes to Ashes and Doctor Who!

BBC America is one option. You also can find a lot of BBC programming (and other UK programming) on Netflix Instant and/or their regular DVD program.

bbc.co.uk/iplayer may work

 

[steveo3002]

bbc iplayer is what you need ...but it will detect you are out of the uk

you then need a proxy thingy to fool it ...

maybe like this..but i cant say if this one is good or no

I watch BBC America, but they edit the shows with so many commercial breaks...who knows what they edit out on Top Gear or Doctor Who...

 

[GeneralFROSTY]

We already have BBC-A, but it seems like it's a "Top Gear" channel with the occasional episode of Doctor Who and Kitchen Nightmares.

 

[Solo4114]

They've been running other dramas like Luther and such, but yeah, loooooots of Top Gear and Ramsey's ***king Kitchen ***king **** Nightf**kmares.

A lot of that stuff is available on Netflix Instant, too.

 

[Birdie]

'BBC America' is a very misleading name in any case, since half the stuff they show isn't even produced by the Beeb, including aforementioned Ramsey shows.

 

[Wes R]

Time Warner Cable here has BBC America but I'm not sure of the station, my folks watch Dr Who on it all the time.

 

[exoray]

I'm a member of a private UK produced content only torrent site, certainly not on the up and up but it gets me everything I need...

 

[xaoslord]

BBC America doesn't carry all of the shows, and what they do carry are usually 6 months behind the BBC.

 

[Sundowner]

It seems theyre offering more shows like Solo said with their Drama-ville and what not. Luther is pretty good, Luther = British Vic Mackey lol
