That was an eye-numbing read I ever done from that ttc link. Wow. The one thing that stood out was the whole Dish Network feud with ABC. That may be the sole reason why you can't log in anymore. It's like that contract Netflix had with Starz. People were informed about the big change in advance and when that date finally arrive, something was noticeably different with the main page. If the law does not require advance notice, company won't notify the customer except in very small letters.

Another trend that is occurring are ISPs [internet service providers] cracking down on the amount of time their customers tend to use the internet. Some are more strong arm about it than others, but plans involving limited hours or downloads are there and growing. So if their monitoring system sees that the user spends too much time at a site that eats away the bandwidth like no other, then they will arbitrarily block the site. It's in accordance to that contract nobody really reads about when they signed on.

So it may not be a tech issue, it's a service issue. That port/ door is closed.
