This is the site of the cable company distributing BBC 1 and 2 in Brussels
http://www.coditel.be/home/english/catv/catvchannels.htm
Interestingly enough, they are included in the basic offer, not the pay TV offer. In such a case, I can't imagine Coditel are paying the BBC much (or maybe anything) for the right to distribute the programmes.
