The National app seems to be working OK -- accessing cbc.ca here in the US works but when trying to play something gets an audio message saying "This content is currently unavailable" - not sure if this is a geo-blocking issue or may be the issue you're referring toOriginally Posted by xnowimcoolx

What happens exactly when you try to watch shows directly? (Hulu gives a pretty explicit message as does NBC in the US, making it pretty darn clear).

the video remains black and a voice says, "this content is currently unavailable". However, it was available using bartsidee and on my computer - I only get the message with boxee box.

I tried it last night on my BB to see if I could reproduce. I was able to view Dragon's Den and Camelot without any issues. Hope that helps.
