Are you guys getting this on that side of the pond? It's one of my favourite shows and the new season started here last night, but kind of curious to know how it would be received by an American audience.

I'm not sure. I'll have to check my BBC and see. looks interesting.
I checked the BBCAmerica network to see if it was on the said-yule and it isn't 
Before BBCAmerica came about, our PBS network used to show lots of British sci-fi and comedy - Blakes 7, Red Dwarf, older Doctor Who episodes, Hitchhikers Guide, etc.
BBCAmerica airs a lot of Star Trek shows. Is Star Trek popular in Britain?

It definitely was. I remember watching re-runs of the original show with my Dad when I was kid on primetime BBC1 (back when we only had three channels in total, so that was a big deal). The Next Generation, Voyager and Deep Space 9 were also popular later on, but they got kicked around the schedules on BBC2 a lot and probably suffered because of it (I only dipped in and out of those myself). Think Enterprise didn't do much here and I have no idea how the new show is being received. There are a lot of dedicated Trekkers here though, judging by the number of conventions etc.
