Registration is a very involved process and (as it turns out) requires an NHK viewer contract to be operational. Poorly managed app: it worked well for a short while, then suddenly I could no longer access the site & had to re-enter my ID or PW, but was told they were 'wrong' (though I'm 100% sure they were correct). Requested a new ID & password and entered my email address to receive an email with instructions (& security question) but... that email never came! Do better, NHK!

This app does what it's supposed to do very well. Video rarely buffers, whether it's the live stream or past shows, and the quality is very good as well.
