Hi. I understand that BBC World News is now on Dish on ch 281. When I go to this channel by entering it manually, I go to 280. The channel doesn't appear. I have Western Arc using a Wally. Is the channel not availible on that arc? I can't get Eastern arc due to where my apartment is located. Thanks for any help. I also have the 250 package.

You have to have the News Pack add-on, it isn't available in just the top 250 package.

You would need the News Pack for $10 per month. That would add BBC World News, but no other additional channels to AT250, since the other News Pack channels are already included in AT250. You could look at lowering your base package to AT200 if you want to save money to offset the price of the News Pack.

OK thanks for the info guys. I probably won’t do that, but that’s good to know that it is finally available!

It's been available for about 2 years now.

Also, keep in mind that the BBC World News Channel that you get with the news package is SD. If you happen to get it via SlingTV it is HD...
