Watching On-Line TV Shows

[Billy Crook]

You should explain to her that NBC has chosen to intentionally corrupt all
of their video files because they do not care about her or any other viewer
being able to watch them.  When she fully realises NBC's hubris, surely she
will no longer wish to grant them the privelage of her audience.  Perhaps
she should get a real TV show to watch. :-)
