(OT) BBC now on DSS dish

Just noticed last night that the BBC has been added to the DSS (digital satellite system) channel line up. I watched the BBC World News last night, and was amazed at the (what seemed to be) more franl coverage, particularly of Kosovo. They had a fairly long segment on how the Albanians are extracting revenge on the Serbs, along with some relatively graphic footage of the victims. This is something I have seen little to no coverage in the U.S. media.

I've only watched it one night, so I can't make any judgement on how slanted (or differently slanted) it is from the U.S. media, but it certaintly is interesting to get world news from a different perspective.
