Is there anyway to get Sky News from the UK all the time. I know we get snippets through Fox, but being from London originally, I would like to be able to get it. Especially in light of recent events. Ant suggestions?
Thanks.

As far as I know, No. I don't even see it available on LYNGSAT.COM unless you can see the Euro Satellites.

FOX News has a live feed all the time. How do they get it?

Probably via a satellite over the Atlantic. Since you're in Florida, you could go down the list (http://www.lyngsat.com/atlantic.html) and check every satellite to see whether you can see it, and whether Sky happens to have an unencrypted feed available on it.

Fox and Sky are really owned by the same parent company (Rupert Murdoch).
They send the signal over from the UK via satellite to Fox. I would say they probably have it encrypted if it's a continous stream. I didn't see a listing on Lyngsat but there might be some wildfeeds you could pickup.

SkyNews UK is Free and Clear at 28.2 E on Astra 2B. It's below the horizon for us East Coasters.
It's possible Fox News NY is reciving this channel via Fiber from the UK
