As a viewer it, was soo "clunkly" I gave up on it in the end. As a revenue business it was an even bigger miss for NBC and their local stations. All those lost dollars!

I know several people who didn't have access to certain live videos because of whatever agreements their local NBC affiliates did or did not have. Many ended up having to lie when signing in and say they lived somewhere else, or had another provider like DirectTV. I think the fatal flaw was connecting web viewing to your TV provider.
