Country and language guide
US channels for your everyday viewing
Build your US shortlist around three moments: the morning news, the programme you follow each week and the channels your household shares. The examples below help you put names to those priorities before a trial.
Names to add to your shortlist
Separate national networks from local needs
Start with CNN or CNBC for news, ESPN or NBA TV for sport, and PBS Kids for family viewing. NBC, ABC and CBS also appear, but their names do not identify a city affiliate. If local television matters, record the city and station as well as the network. The sports guide helps turn an event into a precise request; the family guide covers checks for shared screens.

Plan for everyone using the television
Add Canadian viewing if needed, then compare simultaneous connection options against the screens your household will use at the same time.
