USTVNow or USTVNow360. Which one do I choose? Depends on what you want to watch.

Now with the demise of Locast and the loss of local broadcast channels, a new player is in the game: USTVNow. Well, they've been around for a long time, but USTVNow is now the only legit place to get all the major Broadcast networks. 

There are different versions of USTVNow, depending on where you subscribe from, so here is a breakdown of the different options.  

• US Viewers looking for Broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and CW, choose the first one in this list: USTVNow.
• Canadian viewers looking for CTV, CBC, City TV and TVO, choose the first one: USTV Now (TeleUp Canada + DVR plan). Canadians wishing to watch US and Canada channels will need to subscribe to two packages. 
• The TeleUp Canada plan can be selected as a stand-alone option and does not require the USTVNow plan.

The USTVNow service was built for our troops and is enjoyed by patriots everywhere. Territorial content restrictions may apply. Our service is offered principally to a small number of American expats, state department, and military employees overseas.

We do not delete anything from the original broadcast, cable, or satellite TV feeds streamed to users, including commercials. The service in the continental U.S.A. is available as a TV anywhere service in combination with a regular cable subscription from USTVNow place shifting cable partners. If you are having trouble watching inside a U.S. military base, consulate or U.S. embassy please contact technical support.

TV shows that are available in high definition will play in 720p. Currently, the HD option is available for the following channels: ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, PBS, AMC, Animal Planet, Bravo, Discovery Channel, ESPN, ESPN2, FX, Fox News, Freeform, National Geographic, Paramount Network, Sundance, Syfy, TLC, and USA.

Editor's notes:

• The channel line-ups for both the dot-net and dot-com websites are identical, which one you choose would depend on which devices you are watching on. (See Editor's Note 2)
