BBC World Service via Dish Anywhere has been down for over 24 hours. Attempts to access the channel result in cryptic "error 7001". Is this channel no longer available? If not then Dish needs to remove it from the live feed. If it is still available then someone at Dish needs to fix this or at least provide something other than a reference to an "error". Pitiful.

Maybe they are getting ready to place it on a Dish channel and then you can get it just like any other live channel...

Well, I guess we could say it was "rumored" to happen on June 29th, but it hasn't yet. I guess it will be "Soon" TM Dish Network.
It doesn't come up on a channel. You have to do a search for BBC and it pops up. BTW, it doesn't work on my iPad, either directly on Safari or via the app....It works fine on my Mac...
They took BBC World News (America) off DishAnywhere.com a couple of weeks ago. Not sure why it was there in the first place.
You can watch live BBC News (UK) on Roku or the web.. It is the original British version of BBC News.

True, but you can add a private channel that has a lot of different news channels including BBC News (UK version). Also France24 is there, DWTV (Germany). I even found the new TRT English news channel (Turkey). The streaming on the Roku is amazing. But I would rather have the channels (BBC) on Dish as it is all together in one place and I can DVR it.
The funny thing is that BBC World News is not an expensive channel for Dish to carry. Maybe 14 cents a month per subscriber, if that much.

I can't find live BBC News on my Roku. I am using FilmOn and looking at UK Live. The closest I find is Global News. Any suggestions of another private channel?
