I missed last night's episode of "Arrow", due to technical troubles. I tried going to the CW's site to watch it, but it won't run. I reloaded the page several times, and it has no trouble running the commercial (of course - greed rules), but the episode won't start. And I signed up for a free Hulu account, only to find that the episode is locked away behind Hulu Plus. (Also, I tried watching an episode of a show that IS free, but it wouldn't start playing, either.) Is there some place reliable online where I can get caught up for free? Thanks for any help.
I got it to play fine directly from CW's site (http://www.cwtv.com/cw-video/arrow/league-of-assassins/?play=3a6d502f-9740-452c-830f-8639d6900f5f) using Chrome.

What browsers are you running? do you have Adblock Plus installed? (or one of its derivatives like Edge) what computer operating system? (osX, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android) have you installed Flash or Microsoft Silverlight? Are you using TOR, Proxy Sverver, or VPN Tunneling, which can skew your apparent location?
these questions will help us narrow down what is up.
I did finally get to see it, but the CW's website captioning needs work. They tend to run short lines of two characters together on the same line of text, such as, "I can't. Why not?" (without the quotation marks, of course).

That's often par for the course with subtitles and closed-captions. Better caption companies will use different colors to differentiate the source of the text, but some just use the same stock Courier or Times font in block white and count on the viewer to use context to disentangle it.
