No worries. Do let us know if you manage to pick up BBC World!
Here are the results from the "Plymouth Jury" on ability to get BBC WORLD NEWS.
After getting the old Panasonic Sky Digibox to pick up the signal from 19.2E, I had a bit of difficulty getting the Sky+ one to accept the signal at first (that's the one I have with the S-Video link to the PC for caps):
World News Today is currently brodcasting from N... whatever I dont' know the numbers! The normal World set, not the smaller alternative. I'm assuming that's unusual - or is this edition always from there...

The 3am WNT always comes from wherever overnight news in London is coming from and Washington.

Ahh, and as she said on air, the washington studio is closed for 4th July.
...my personal feeling is that no BBC domestic channels should be viewable outside of the British Isles. After all, we have to pay a hefty licence fee for those channels so it isn't fair for people in Europe to be enjoying programming for which we have to foot the bill.
I see where you're coming from, but at the end of the day the BBC is being economical with your money by choosing not to spend it on encryption. Would you rather your money be spent on programmes or on preventing others seeing said programmes?
And what about those who do actually pay for BBC's UK channels, like in Ireland and the Netherlands? I see no difference between local broadcasters buying rights to BBC shows and cable providers buying rights to entire stations. Admittedly we're watching programmes originally produced for and paid for by British audiences but at the end of the day it's more money being pumped back in to the BBC, keeping the cost of the licence fee lower.
If the BBC is being paid by foreign countries for the rights to their programmes, then that's fine - it's all legit and the BBC is getting extra funding. What I have a problem with is someone installing a satellite dish, buying a cheap receiver and being able to enjoy all of the BBC's domestic output that we, the British people, have to pay for - and it doesn't come cheap, either. Otherwise, we may as well all move to Europe and enjoy our own television for free, too. We'd also benefit from getting out of the mess that is this country and we'd probably all be a lot safer too! But, that's another story...
I must say that BBC World's new set looks great and is exactly the sort of thing that would have suited the News Channel. It appears to have been a way of modernising the old set and I'm glad that the link to the newsroom is retained. I'm not too sure with the red panels around the monitors in the background of the newsroom as I think they are a bit too bright.
Still a great looking set and far superior to what the News Channel has got. I'm not sure why BBC World couldn't have gone into N6, which is more suited for bulletins, and the News Channel have N8, which is more suited for rolling news.
But BBC World is now becoming more of a rolling news channel. It has WNT several times a day and for most of the other hours it's WN followed by WBT and Sport Today.

The key point is that it is becoming more of a rolling news channel meaning it isn't already a rolling news channel. It still has more structured bulletins than the News Channel and I think would therefore be suited to a proper studio with the 24 hour rolling news channel (ie. BBC News Channel) being given the set in the newsroom (N.

I haven't been this excited about BBC World (News) since I started watching the channel many, many years ago.
Good anchor line up. Possibly nice new set and studio. The best correspondents the industry has to offer. All we have to do now is drop the word (news) from the brand and have more double headed presentation and......hey!
(Oh, and hide the studio keys from Tim Workaholixcox...........)
Looks cool
