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.
Interesting. I thought it was developed for the US military and subsequently was able to expand to non-military. Sorry if I gave incorrect info. We used USTV now in the UK and Mexico without issue and no VPN needed on a paid subscription. So obviously at that point it worked.
