BBC America is a countrywide channel that is run by the BBC and contains content from the UK channels as well as some of the World Service content.
Unfortunately, UK channels broadcast on terrestrial or satellite platforms (Freeview and Sky) cannot be received in North America. The only other option is to look for web based broadcasts.

Can a U.K. purchased television operate in the U.S.?
UK televisions operate with different colour encoding and frequencies to those in the US. The majority of modern UK televisions will display US material but they will not be able to hook up directly to terrestrial arials or cable feeds. You will need to have separate reveivers, even if the UK television is compatible with US video signals. US prices for telelvisions are so much lower than UK prices (close to 50% of the UK price in fact), that it is hardly worthwhile taking a UK TV to the US once shipping costs are calculated.

Will a UK DVD player connect and work in the US?
There are several things that are different between UK and US television equipment. A UK player normally runs on 240V. Some will also work at 110V but not all. You may need to obtain a 110V to 240V converter. Next, UK players will not generally play US DVDs because each disc has a region code built in. If the region code of the disc is different to that of the player, the disc will not play. Therefore, only expect a UK player to play UK discs. The television standards are different in the two countries. Some but not all US televisions will handle UK video signals that use a different frame rate and different color encoding system. Lastly, UK television has been using widescreen format images for two decades. In the US, standard definition television has remained 4 : 3 viewing ratio with the 16 : 9 format only being introduced with HD. Playing a standard definition widescreeen signal to a US television may result in a distorted image without the means to adjust the aspect ratio. With these in mind, only consider taking a UK DVD player to the US if you need a means of playing a UK disc collection. If it simply to avoid purchasing another player, the hassle of setting up a UK player in the US far outweighs the cost saving.
