video

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'american tv' is the definition.
'video' can be an answer for 'tv' (synonyms). I'm unsure of the 'american' bit.

'dodgy dive nothing more on' is the wordplay.
'dodgy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'nothing more' becomes 'o' (resembles 0).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'dive' is an anagram of 'vide'.
'vide'+'o'='VIDEO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for video that I've seen before include "Visible part of a recording" , "Visual element of television" , "Transmitter of televised image" , "Taped film" , "Relating to televised images" .)
