correct. I get digital TV thru the local phone company...basically the same deal as cable or satellite...a basic package of several thousand (mostly non-watchable) channels and then the option to add on the premium movie channels (HBO, Showtime, etc).
BBCA is part of the basic package that I get.

That's exactly what it is. I have DirecTV and get it (part of their
standard package), and it's on my short list of channels to watch, since
who can keep track of all 200?
