I HotSPot setting us up for a pay service??? Or will they now claim this was a "free trial?" As soon as I tried NBC Hotspot stopped working. I checked details on the Auth Failure and it says that I don't have permission to access... I think NBC and probavly ABC have updated their software. When I tried to contact Hotspot via their online support, it also hung, could not send at all. MACOSX it worked fine on SAfari- downloaded firefox 3.0 - still no go.

First i reboot my pc so i have max power. Then connect hotspot an d open firefox. Go through the stages and get to the loading screen. wait until your tv show starts - and then after 30 seconds then switch off hotspot. If you dont teh show will hang. OK now when the ads come on connect hotspot again - make sure its on before you click ok to carry on. When ad is finished click ok to carry on and again after 30 seconds or so sitch it off. if you are getting cant find show blah blah whatever then it could be either you havent changed your time zone or memory (just reboot) abc soaks up your pc memory, unless your machine is super fast.

And I can just guess that ABC made their flash-IP-Check-Script smarter, so it checks your IPs during the shows as well. Unfortunately I don't know how to fix this, it's annoying, but a payed VPN could be a solution..If anyone comes up with a solution, that would be great. Hi @ all Hotspot-Users,
