Not directly no. Theres a feed on 15W which shows some of the news but apart from that you will need to move to Yankee land.

BTW the same goes for all the other Yank channels.

Hmm.. I'll have to buy a tiny piece of land in America, pop a dish, electricity and the internet on it, then stream it across the world.

Any ideas if NBC is FTA?

Actually it appears that NBC on 103West (btw I'm not after the news, im after Scrubs

) is encrypted, but whether its FTV or a subscription channel I don't know.

Anyone know?

By feeds, you obviously don't mean the full channel, just scraps of it?

NTSC isn't a problem & just out of interest, why would NBC have feeds on 15West?

All you need is a friendly soul in Yank land to slingbox the content and away you go.

What many people seem to forget is all the decent Yank shows are shown here in the UK anyway. Tyhe stuff that doesnt get picked up by our stations is the dross.
