Hi Bram,

I’m sorry to hear that you were unable to view the video. Perhaps I wasn’t very clear in the post but the video was only a 3 minute excerpt from the show. I did make some inquires with the Smithsonian Channel folks but I haven’t heard back yet. I would suspect that they might have distribution agreements in place that don’t allow them to show any videos outside of the US.

Thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to comment!

Cheers!

Do you have any knowledge of restrictions from the Smithsonian Channel towards the Belgium area?
The video-link in your article just states “THE VIDEO YOU ARE TRYING TO WATCH CANNOT BE VIEWED FROM YOUR CURRENT COUNTRY OR LOCATION.”.
Following the text link makes Firefox state “Firefox has determined that the server redirects the request for this address in a ‘never ending way’.”
Guess you won’t be able to do much about it? And seems I won’t be able to contact the Smithsonian Channel?
Anyway, it’s always fun to read your posts. Keep it up.

Cheers
Bram
