Too bad they don't have any shows I'd want to watch. That and I don't have an Intel PC.

Never mind. Don't show me how to do it on an A64. I'd like to keep my computer free from crap.

man, you people complain like there is no tomorrow. Remember, if its free, you do not complain.


No, you complain because the pirates can get it off the net at higher resolution without DRM and they don't have to download a new (a.k.a probably buggy as hell and full of security holes) specific application to view the file.

If it requires IE, the application is probably an ActiveX control. Buggy and Insecure are practically synonyms for ActiveX.

Seriously, how could anyone at NBC think that this is a good idea? With all of the platform restrictions (no Mac, no Linux, no AMD PC's, no Firefox, no non-US users, AND their Intel-based computer can't be anymore than 2 years old) they put into this site, only about 10% of all computer users can try it.
