PBS has always been a dog. Just install the VLC plugin. I dunno if there 
is one specifically for Chrome, there is one for Firefox.

Oh yeah, PBS goes ape over adblockers, no-script, and such. Have them 
all switched off on that site. Go there, switch off your settings, log 
out and back in again. Wily devils they are.

They sure don't want you to escape buying their over-priced DVD's for an 
ORG that was Gov sponsored. Ric
