Getting TV channels from the UK and the US?

#1
Hello guys, new here 👋 Just recently moved to Boston from the UK. The American cable is terrible lol! Anyways I have come across these guys on Instagram and I am just wondering if anyone has ever used them before? Their name was the reason I signed up here as I'm thinking someone may have some experience with their setup. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Do you think the UK channels are any better? I would get a VPN and watch TV that way, and can also watch Netflix etc....

Hello

If you are home sick, you may try a contraption which gives you all overseas channels in several languages. 
You may see all your Rugby, Cricket, any thing of that sort by purchasing a unit which are sold in the market place. Alternatively , with slight programming one can watch all the overseas channels via Android.
