    Your not supposed to be able to watch them here because we don't pay a license for those channels, remember the Irish refused to pay the BBC years ago on the grounds that it wasn't our fault that they transmitted into our air space and that we could pick them up. If you know anyone in the UK who pays a TV license they can get you a BBC card for free which covers all those channels your on about. Or if you take out a subscription from the UK instead of here you'll get a Sky card with all those channels too.

    See my post in Films / TV.

    Short answer - BBC1 NI = Sky Digital 214.
