Aha! I missed the second link. That is not a NASA link. It's a link to a video produced by the US Public Broadcasting System (that's the pbs in the URL).
So I dug into the PBS web site FAQs and found this for viewers outside of the USA: "While over-the-air broadcasts can reach beyond U.S. borders into Canada and Mexico, online video is subject to geo-filtering, which restricts the areas that can view PBS content. PBS is legally obligated to ensure each program does not exceed its granted rights, which unfortunately eliminates international streaming ability for some PBS programs in Canada and elsewhere. "You can find our Internationally Available collection, which is a compilation of programs that can be viewed outside of the United States, at: Internationally Available Collection "We regret not being able to offer all our content online to our supporters." The internationally available collection link goes to www.video.pds.org I don't know if that will open for you, or if they program is in there. I suspect that it is not or the other link would have worked. I have the same problem with BBS broadcasts here. Some of the on line stuff is blocked in the US, especially the classical music on line. So I make do with radio Netherlands and practice my Dutch ;-). 73 Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: David Ferrington, M0XDF [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 2:20 PM To: Ron D'Eau Claire Cc: 'Bob'; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Watch the ions Hi Ron, the link to the SME works fine, it's the second link (http://video.pbs.org/video/2226474716/) that doesn't. 73 de David, M0XDF We are what we repeatedly do.
