Ok, noow I understand how to use the Netscape/Vista setting and CNN
videos work. FoxNews is still all black.
Well, by spoofing cnn as netscape via the UAS, cnn works just fine. Then I
opened another tab and reset the UAS to default, went to foxnews and the
first video I clicked on worked, video and audio although the audio was 10db
louder than cnn's. I've watched several foxnews fab^H^H^Hstories previously
today.
