HSNOI

Many thanks go to Dave Kleiner who has created www.youtube.com/HSNOI with quite a number of recently taped full shows available for online viewing. He also volunteered to continue updating the site as I send him new shows and older shows (which are to be burned from the Master Archive DVDs).

We taped two good shows in June, but there were technical problems with the video switching so a number of the camera to camera transitions did not go as planned. John Eisler, the Cablevison Public Access Coordinator, emailed me that he explored the problwm a bit and he thinks it is something that their engineer can fix.
