Can someone explain to me how to find the url etc for all the USTVNOW channels? I followed a tutorial to get the basic 9 you get but I have the paid subscription for USTVNOW and would like to add the rest of the channels to my TV Guide, I have everything setup except for the url's for channels like Animal Planet, Discovery, Syfy etc.

Yeah i did try that, I got ESPN and USA to work, no issues at all, but some stations like Animal Planet, Disocvery, History etc, im unsure what they would use. I tried the full name and I tried what I would assume would be the short form for this. Instead of playing the guessing game, I was just hoping theres a quicker legit way to find this to make life easier

OK in regards to this, I managed to figure it out myself what the streams are called. Whatever it says in the USTVNOW plugin is what you have to use, Case sensitive as well. So I have all 30 channels working with the guide as we speak.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use direct RTMP links to access the streams from ustvnow? I checked out the way it is being done via the TV Guide plugin by some, but this is just creating a stream file that launches the videos via "plugin://". I am interested in using it with the IPTVSimple PVR client instead, but this doesn't support launching streams via plugin. Can it be done with direct streams?
@Baken - How exactly did you figure out the rest of the channels besides the few free ones?

GUYS WHO MAYBE HAVING TROUBLE WITH USTVNOW:
what i had to do was actually TRY to log in on their website, only to find out that my password DID NOT WORK AT ALL!
so i was informed to open a trouble ticket and ask them to cancel my account because they do not want a ton of people leaving accounts open and then re-opening another account under a different email addy!
so i had to put in a trouble ticket, it took about 1 day, they came back to me thru email and informed me the account had been removed and i could then re-register using the same email i had before...
and now it all works, BUT there is an issue with logging in from multiple locations such as different browsers, or ios xbmc, or a different xbmc instance if u have more than one such as myself, 2 og atv's openelec and a mac all running the same apps, on xbmc,
so this is the info i received, nothing wrong with the add on thus far, just their login crap.
i redid my registration and wala: IT WORKS, GOT MY CHANNELS UP AND RUNNING!
contact them directly if u have a paid subscription, to ask how it will alter ur paid plans if u have one or are in the middle of a billing cycle...
and that is all...
