    This site amazes me on a daily basis

    USA Network on the Superstream Box

    Does anyone know what channel #, using what app, to get the USA Network? Tried to find it on Sunday to watch the Nascar Race and couldn't find it. I'm old enough to remember when we had 4 channels to watch. Thanks in advance.
