BBC TV in Australia
I remember seeing a report somewhere some weeks ago about the BBC possibly starting a channel for broadcast in Australia. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

Re: BBC TV in Australia
I didnt see any mention of bbc coming over to aus, it would be good if they had a channel like the bbc usa one.
For now though abc is a little similier and you can of course the uktv if you have foxtel. Abc have the iview player to watch stuff online, thats pretty good.
I have been trying to find a good ip hiding software to watch the bbc iplayer thingy but none of the software so far has worked with it. The ITV site works fine though, its just a shame they dont put anything decent on

It won't happen. But I can't think of many BBC shows that aren't on UKTV, Lifestyle, How to or the BBC news channel on Austar/Foxtel. Plus of course you get all the shows on ABC - indeed their coming season trailer the other night looked like an advert for BBC1. Failing that, just watch is live on FilmOn. For more robust/useful solutions check the links in my signature.

Or traipse around an ABC store to purchase dvds of BBC series - just picked up some excellent wildlife docs on elephants yesterday.

If you have a gander at bbc.co.uk you'll see they support UKTV as their 'official' channel in Aus, since they send most of their shows this way...
