PBS/NOVA Special: Secrets of the Viking Sword

[DerHerbst]

Hey it's been a long time since I've played Brytenwalda...been waiting for 1.40 but now I'm so busy with school.  I need something to get me back into the Dark Age spirit.  Maybe this will do heh?

I came across this http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ancient/secrets-viking-sword.html promising bit of TV last night. 

It airs tonight so I haven't seen it yet but NOVA is a great show so I expect good things.  I'm not sure if non-American viewers can get this on TV but I'm sure you can find it online once it airs.

Happy viewing!

anyone get a chance to see this?  I thought it was very good overall

I actually made a point to see this, and I have to say it was pretty good. The only part I didn't like was that they didn't show very much of the actual blacksmithing process.

I actually watched it by coincidence. Very interesting. May the knowledge of Uthber+t blades live forever.

PBS blocks all non-US IPs. You might have more luck with a Proxy/VPN.

Here is the video link for those with an American IP:  http://video.pbs.org/video/2284159044

For those outside of the U.S. you can try copying and pasting the link into a free IP blocker site.  You'll need an American IP to view the video.  Maybe try http://www.uswebproxy.com/ and see if it works.  I think they give you an IP based in Denver Colorado.

I have the same problems trying to see BBC programs and I've been successful using a British-based IP proxy in the past.  Maybe this will work for those out there?

Given a few weeks it will most likely be uploaded to Youtube etc.  Try a video.google search in a few weeks and see if it's been posted.

I live in Canada so the PBS website didn't work for me.  Using the proxies you posted did not work either.  By following the simple instructions on this youtube video I was however able to view the episode.  Check it out:
