NBC Direct is only available through a Windows Media Player and Internet Explorer-enabled client and requires the latest .NET framework to be present. After a show airs, episodes can be downloaded for 48 hours, not a whole lot of time to provide viewers with an option to catch up.
The service offers no mobile support and any of the programs are available in a more convenient fashion with Hulu. It seems that much more work is needed on NBC Direct, which the company will no doubt be told time and time again from feedback of the beta.
