Isn't this an overseas (rather than a domestic) channel?  I'm not aware 
of it being available online, nor on satellite/terrestrially in the UK.

I know it's available in some overseas areas on satellite/cable but I 
think the service provider pays the BBC for the service and presumably 
the cost is passed through to the consumer by satellite/cable 
subscription fees. The same is true of other TV services such as BBC 
World News.

When I was last in the Philippines, I looked at the programme schedule 
and there didn't seem to be much original content (apart from the News). 
A lot of the programmes seemed to be repeats of material previously 
aired in the UK on the main UK channels. Unfortunately we can't get it 
in my part of the Phils, which is a pity because it beats the Filipino 
and Yankee crap on cable - the only BBC channel we can get is BBC World 
News and there's only so much of that anyone can take!
