[QUOTE=&quot;ATL Royals, post: 154493, member: 100750&quot;]In my experience, you'll get a mix of options that have one or more of ITV, Sky, and BBC America (which carries a fair amount of BBC programming, but often days, weeks, or even several months later, and which don't conflict with US-exclusives, such as the Olympics being on NBC, or Downton Abbey on PBS).&nbsp; I'm really not sure what options are offered by each satellite provider.Your local cable company will also likely have options for various UK networks, but each local market will be a little different in its offerings due to local preferences and the age/capabilities of the system.&nbsp; Even the major national cable companies like Comcast, Charter, etc., will vary slightly from market to market.Regardless of anything, you'll probably have to buy an add-on package of some kind, whether that's one of the higher &quot;tier&quot; services from the provider (e.g., instead of the &quot;basic&quot; 60 channel package, you have to buy the mid-grade 150 channel package, or the &quot;premium&quot; 220 channel package, or something similar); or you may have to get an &quot;international&quot; add-on package that's likely to also carry France 24, RTV, Al Jazeera, and/or others.[/QUOTE]

Even the major national cable companies like Comcast, Charter, etc., will vary slightly from market to market. Regardless of anything, you'll probably have to buy an add-on package of some kind, whether that's one of the higher "tier" services from the provider (e.g., instead of the "basic" 60 channel package, you have to buy the mid-grade 150 channel package, or the "premium" 220 channel package, or something similar); or you may have to get an "international" add-on package that's likely to also carry France 24, RTV, Al Jazeera, and/or others.[/QUOTE]
