Can anyone advise which subscription services offers BBC Prime in their line up? i.e First Net / Showtime etc.

Thanks.

It sucks!

Very rarely do they introduce new programmes and some of those showing have been repeated from start to finish six or seven times. E-mails to BBC prime draw a standard response that is worthless and If I hear one more time "and now for something extra" I will put the TV through the window! We now rarely watch BBC prime, it's not worth it!

I had mosaic but the broadcast didn't flow and so i kept missing what the actors were saying.

I tried QTEL but in the end I had it removed.

now i read books and listen to radio 4

My husband looked at getting Orbit and he said he thought it just had BBC prime which is where you'd find up to date(ish?) Eastenders, Little Britain, Catherine Tate etc (I think). I have seen back programmes of Little Britain on one of the other 'cards' mentioned about.

I didn't mean BBC Prime showed American Sports lol - I meant Orbit does! Maybe I'm wrong - try googling Orbit.

It doesn't make sense for Orbit to have BBC prime and then show a load of American sports!

So it looks like I'll have to get both Orbit and Showtime for Eastenders, kids and the Premiership football!

Grantley is correct. Orbit has BBC Prime and National Geographic, the rest on it seem to be American Sports.

First Net and Showtime don't have BBC Prime but DO have European Sport and various films and series and things like Frasier etc.
