SITE SUPPORT
Why do I have to login every time I try to watch a video?
Videos are premium subscriber content and you need an active account to login and view. Once you are logged in, you will not have to log in again to watch premium content until the next time you access the site.
Why can I access the content at home but not while at work, a hotel, school, etc.?
Your work, school, or the hotel could have network settings which either restricts the access to some content or to content which requires large amounts of bandwidth to access. You would need to discuss these restrictions with the network administrator for them to allow you access. Also, if you are using a computer that does not allow you administrator rights there could be restrictions on the type of content you are allowed to access such as live multicast video, you would also need to talk to the computer administrator to allow your profile access to such content.
I have high-speed wireless internet, but still seem to be having buffering problems?
You will need a download speed of 5 Mbps or higher to watch streaming video at the highest available quality. You can use this free online tool to check your Internet connection's speed http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ -- select the New York option as a baseline.
Despite having a fast Internet connection, Internet congestion can slow down the delivery of the stream, make it difficult for you to connect, or cause buffering. Often the interruption is temporary. If you repeatedly have problems connecting, please notify your ISP. There are often quick fixes they can make when they learn about your issue.
Closed networks, such as the ones found on college campuses, hotels, hospitals, businesses, etc., can cause connectivity issues with live streaming video if certain ports are blocked or restricted.
