[quote name='Quackzilla']Being an American I prefer not to get my news from an American network.
Unfortunately, without a pirate dish, all I can get is the 30 min daily news on BBC America.
I am thinking of getting a pirate dish though.
Any cheap-ass deals?[/quote]
You can get international news stations through regular subcription to DirecTV (BBC America and an International News Station), and check your local PBS listings, I've got one station that runs NHK (Japan), French, German, and British news during the 5:00 and 6:00 hours.
