iPad/iPhone iOS 9.3  OR  Video Problems? Try This

(When you are on the video page, the wording above is on the right, click it)

If you are having problems playing the shows with your iPhone or iPad, just click the words above the video that look like the line above. This will open a separate tab on your device and make the video viewable. You will still see the "Sorry..." sign, but just click the words right above the video and you will be able to view the show. (Thank you, webguru, Bob)

Apple is still working on a total fix for us. Keep your fingers crossed. But this is an easy way to see the shows.
