Anywhere, USA is Redundant

No actually anywhere, just Anywhere.
HBO makes great shows, but they clearly need a geography lesson.  When I heard that HBO was planning to offer streaming service, I had hoped their definition of anywhere would fall in line with the lexicographers. But sadly the BBC reported the launch of HBO's "standalone streaming service" in 2015 will be limited to America, also styled as "Anywhere."

I curious to know which territories made the cut and which did not.  Puerto Rico? American Samoa? Guam? Navassa Island?

Obviously I understand that their marketing gurus are not geographers, but it's strange that they have not corrected the way their website displays on Google. It just looks silly.

Fortunately I can still watch clips of Last Week Tonight here in India on YouTube.
