USTVNOW is quasi-legal at best.

There seems to be a consensus that the contract they bought to run a small cable service is legit, but a nearly equal consensus that they don't have a legal contract to stream those channels.

This is why Roku dropped them from their platform as content and copyright owners threatened lawsuits.

If the Omniverse lawsuit goes the way the content owners hope it does then there will be no question that USTVNOW has no legal right to stream.
