From NBC:
Q: How do I watch Live Extra videos?
A: When attempting to access a live stream or full replay, you will be prompted to select your cable, satellite or telco TV provider (e.g. Comcast, Time Warner, DirecTV, AT&T) from a list. You then will be asked to verify your TV subscription — this often means only entering the username/password corresponding to the online account you established with your provider.
Back to the OP, I don’t subscribe to MSNBC or CNBC.
I not only don’t subscribe to MSNBC or NBC, I don’t have a cable service at all, or even a functional TV in the house. The idea of paying a cable bill at my present income level is madness. But every few years I do regret it and feel extremely sorry for myself during the Olympics. I do love watching them. Really wish I could afford cable.
Yeah, it seems NBC is forcing viewers to login with their Cable or Satelite acct info. ..what a crock.
What do you have? ..rabbit ears?
