We got showtime when we first got here a year ago. It had Discovery and History channels, but then they went away after 5 days. Come to find out, you have to contact Discovery and pay extra to have access to that channel through showtime. At least that's how we understood it. So we dropped Showtime and got Orbit. Orbit has Discovery, Discovery Science, History channel , Animal Planet. It also has Orbit news channel that carries the "Today show" and other US Programming. They have other channels, I can't remember what they are called that carry programs like Friends, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien and other US shows. It's only like $41 a month. We are happy with it, but like Ragnarock Raider said, some of the programming is about a year or so back, but it's US programming. Hope that helps.
