why is obama tv on his website password protected and we cannot watch it?

[msongs]

hve tried many times to view live campaign events and get a password protected error message using firefox and IE. tho our household has kicked in loads of $$ and put in passwords at various spots on his site, those passwords never work on the video channel. very annoying. any way to watch this stuff without being blocked out? email to the campaign has not generated a response in 3 weeks.

4. That's weird. I have no trouble at all.

Never have to put in a name and password to watch a video on obama tv. Just watched one a couple of minutes ago.

Sigh. We're supposed to be the big tent party.

6. Before you sling arrows about a "big tent" and all, did you ever stop

to think that the problem is on your end? I have no problem whatsoever, I have never needed a password to watch obamatv.

12. How quickly you forget what the Party...

did to us during the convention. They wouldn't allow us to view the vidoes unless we paid money to Microsoft. It's more proof that the party is getting out of touch with the members. If the rulers of the party really cared about us they would have never considered trying to funnel our money to Microsoft.

14. ??? You don't need to 'pay money to microsoft'

You can just install something else which uses the WMV codec, which is by far the most common. RealPlayer (the free version) handles this, as does VLC I think.

I've never had a problem watch obamatv - whether I'm logged into the site or not.

9. I just tried it

I've never been there before, worked for me for both Firefox and IE. :shrug: It didn't ask for a password.

13. I'm having the same trouble with youtube

Try google chrome beta http://www.google.com/chrome/index.html?hl=en&brand=CHMI&utm_source=en-et&utm_medium=et&utm_campaign=en

If that's not it, see what virus protection you're running. I'm on Shaw in Canada and they use a custom-built version of Kabersky that seems to have something to do with it.
