BBC America -- watching episodes online not happening

MALG1

We now have BBC America as part of our package, yet when I try to watch episodes onlilne/streaming from the BBC America website, I get a message that says I need to subscribe to a different package for access. What is up with this disconnect? Has anyone had similar probelms or found a way to get access to the online BBCA shows?

Same thing as Reported for all these special channels. I am posting my standard reply which is for HBO but it is essentially the same.

A bunch of things lead to problems loging into HBO GO and many other Online Channel sites.

• You must get HBO (or whatever channel you are trying to use) from Verizon
• At least the first time you may first have to sign out of the Verizon site. It gets confused easily.
• You must allow third party cookies
• You must be running Flash, Flash must be allowed to store info for third parties. (not sure what is used instead of FLASH on some other platforms)
• You must not have your Browser options set to delete Information when exiting Browser. Flash takes this as deleting information when exiting a site.

The general way it works is for you to go to HBO GO site. Ask to look at something and it switches in a FRAME pointing to VERIZON and you signin. Verizon stores some information in flash and returns. That information must still be there so that HBO accepts you as authorized
