I think we still have a hope for BBC outside UK..
30/04/03 BBC starting Astra 2D tests?
The BBC have "unlocked" one of their BBCi streams on Astra 2D enabling it to be viewed on a normal Sky Digibox. The test can be seen at 10.847/V, 22.0 and 5/6. This stream is still showing BBCi material, including BBC One South regional programming at 18:30, however the label has been showing "BBC ONE LN". This evening, the EPG stream has changed to show programme info for BBC One London, which is leading to suggest that the tests for the seperate BBC One streams are underway, and we may see additional tests in the coming week or so. For the BBC to place all of it's services on Astra 2D, it must lease another 2 seperate transponders, so we assume that is not the new home for the domestic TV services, just a way of testing them before the new leases take effect. The BBC is set to go FTA at midnight on 31st May, abandoning Sky's Videoguard encryption system. This test is, however still encrypted at the moment. More on this story as we get it.

According to some rumours i heard on another reputable board,
BBC managers are now backpeddling with the idea of going FTA and have suggested a compromise payment deal to stay on the $ky EPG.
