Didn't work

Thanks for you attempt to help me. I did everything you said and still does not work. One thing I discovered is if you find a trailer, it gives you options to look at more trailers (example The Company Men). I kept going with the arrow to the right and once you get past the IMDb trailers for example "watch at MovieTrailers", etc. I can watch them. It definitely has something to do with IMDb and the new Flash Player 10.

Your Help

Thanks Bob for your suggestion but I do not feel confident enough to make changes like this. I don't feel that I am qualified enough to do this. I feel that it is not that important issue. I will keep the link you sent me and maybe someday try it out but not at this time. Will let you know if I have any luck if and when I try it out. Again thank you.

I agree the industry could do better but there is a war (or tussle) about controlling content and flow at those internet and TV providers. Rogers has a big interest in delivering on demand (pay per view) and are resisting in ways they probably can never admit other access methods to "content."

There was a fine article about the cable companies wanting to avoid being nothing but a supplier of "dumb pipes."
