Just to make it clear, I'm not trying to break or breach any laws. I live in the UK and I love America (I went on holiday there a few years ago and never wanted to leave - seriously!) I really want to watch some American TV (like Good Morning America, for example) over here, but I'm not sure how I can do that. I've heard that you need to go through an application or something to subscribe to and get US TV. I tried finding somewhere online but I wasn't too sure because I was worried it would be breaching rules of overseas TV channels or something like that. Does anyone know a legal way to watch American TV? If not, I won't worry too much. (It sounds silly but I really wished I'd grown up in America and gone to school there).
Just another quick question: Does anyone have any recommendations for learning US History? It's a topic I'm very interested in recently. I found a good website simply called US History but are there any good text books or other websites?
I probably sound nuts but I'm very serious about all this. I'm sort of planning to live in America one day, hopefully.

I'm glad your interested in the US
Link: here!
As an Aussie, I am completely used to this:
But it still makes me angry.
If you're willing to pay money, Netflix is an option, it has a fair bit of US content, and some doccos about the US.
But before getting too comfy with the US, I'd strongly recommend that you watch Michael Moore documentaries, Bowling for Columbine and Sicko should be the first two you watch.
Actually, look up Years of Living Dangerously, the first episode is on youtube.
And anyway, whats wrong with people watching things, and forming their own opinions?
You should be saying, "YES, YES, YES! Watch it and decide for yourself!"
I'd also recommend the Zeitgeist doccos, they're good for giving a different view on things.
You don't have to agree with what a documentary presents, the whole point of a lot of documentaries is to start a discussion,and get people thinking ouside the box.
Lol
- Netflix
- DVDs and a Region-Free DVD player
- Sky channels
- Channel 4 channels (like E4)
- Other US-centric channels like 5Star
I'm pretty sure that covers everything! I only have the basic TV channels (I don't even have the Sky channels) so there's probably more.
Side note: Didn't you learn a lot of US history in High School? It might have just been my school, but we learnt A LOT about the US in Year 7 and Year 8. Horrible Histories is also a great resource! :P

They have Netflix UK, which is different to the US version.
I tend to find history from television to be a bit iffy (though this isn't specific to the US). Just delete the adjectives and you'll get the facts.
