US Network TV for those that dont mind paying.
For many years I was on the look out for a way to access the networks and channels such as comedy Central, TBS and most importantly CMT. I have a roku so tried USTVNOW and a few other things and it never worked for me.
I signed up to Nimble.TV last week and I wanted to share my experiences with you.
So I have a Roku and for $29.99 a month I subscribe to in effect a Dish contract with Nimble.TV. At sign up my billing details are UK but my contact details are in New York as you get local programming from there. It was pretty quick and with the addition of a channel on Roku means that I can watch on my TV. It also gives me 20 hours of DVR, I can series link on this.
So the plus points are that the picture quality is pretty good, I have BT infinity so streaming is good. The TV guide is also pretty good too and the selection of channels is exactly what I wanted. I also have the option to upgrade to HBO etc.
The negatives, the cost is a little high, but not high enough to put me off. The DVR isn’t intelligent. I recorded the amazing race but 60 minutes over ran and so I missed 20 minutes of it.
Other than that though, its so far working out to do exactly what I wanted.

The info is much appreciated thankyou this may benefit others, also i've noticed you get 10 channels for free one which is CW, so once again thankyou.
Yes, but the american HBO gets it first. All content premiers on the original HBO, then it comes to Europe and UK via Sky Atlantic.
