Content:  

The popular USA shows all have full episodes available on the USA site. But there aren’t very many episodes for each show, especially if you are looking for episodes from past seasons. Four or five episodes per show is about the limit. It’s a bit aggravating considering that there are so many other extras that the network has thrown in for us.

For instance, the site for every show has games, quizzes and podcasts. But they also have a lot of other specific extras, like recipes, fan art, facts, actor content, message boards and more. It’s things like this that make the site so memorable and entertaining. We just wish that we thought that because there were so many full episodes available. 

Ease of Use:  

The USA site is incredibly well-designed and therefore easy to use. The pages aren’t cluttered with ads and promos like many of the other sites we reviewed. And finding videos doesn’t take long either. When you mouse over the “Series” or “Video” links a popout menu drops down and lets you select which show you want to see.

The video player window is very simply designed as well. All the controls and all the other available videos are easily accessible from this screen. 

Advertising:  

Watching full videos on the USA site usually involves five commercials. This is a pretty average number for Internet TV sites, no not the lowest. The commercials occur at the same points in the show that they would if it was on the air.

There are also some image ads that are visible during the video, though they don’t obstruct the view. 

Features:  

The problem with USA is that it’s woefully short on features. You don’t get anything more than the standard play, pause, volume and fullscreen controls. Other common Internet TV controls, like embed, share and rate the video are absent. You can’t even save your favorite videos to a playlist. The USA site does have message boards and a rudimentary community. 

Help/Support:  

The best way to answer questions or solve problems with the USA site is through the FAQ. You can also contact the site through the email support. 

USA has a lot of fun options, but not very many videos. That’s ultimately why it’s not a great Internet TV site. All the games and other extras can’t make up for the fact that USA doesn’t have enough features or full episodes.
