Subject: Re: TARGET:Public Performance & Discovery
I had a similar problem with an ABC news program I wanted to buy. They told
me I would have to buy an additional two year license for it and would have
get rid of it after that time. The final cost was around $100 for a 10
minute segment. You try to do the legit thing and not tape it off of the TV
but they make it difficult.
