I guess you mean with USTVNow, which requires a sub - and a rather expensive one at that - although there are PVR features available allowing you to record to the cloud.
Still, if you are interested, there is a review here which even includes the Now TV or Roku channels.
Does it definitely still work with a Roku branded box? The message I get on my Now box is that it's been removed from Roku.
No. It doesn't work. Seems USTV's streamed re-broadcasts - all from affiliate stations based in Pennsylvania, as far as I know - may be illegal since USTV does not appear to hold the rights to re-broadcast any of that content.
The channel is no longer being offered as part of the full Roku channel line-up either.

I'll have to check if it is off Roku as well... it used to always just be a private channel.
Edit: This is still working for me on Roku, so it is probably more Sky cutting it because like Netflix, it airs shows that are also on their Sky packages, and thus direct competition.
