Trek authors and editor on Biography Channel Trek special

I was just skimming through KRAD's blog, and apparently him, David Mack, Marco Palmieri, Heather Jarman, DRGIII, Geoffrey Thorne, and the Reeves-Stevens couple will all be appearing on a Biogrphy Channel special all about the Trek Captain's on November 3. There's also a bunch of actor, and other behind the scenes people on it to. I really wish I could see this but sadly, I don't have digital cable, and Bio isn't part of my baisic cable package.
 
Aw shucks, I would love to see this, but I don't get the Biography channel. Maybe some kind soul will put it up on youtube or something.
 
I checked the Bio channel website the other day, and they do have some full episodes of Biography up, so there is a slight chance it might get posted there.
 
FWIW, I think that the Biography special and Shatner's project are not the same thing. I might be wrong about that, but I think the producer of the Biography special told me that her project and Shatner's were unconnected.
 
Does anyone know if this will be available either streaming or for purchase after it airs? I really want to see this, and I'm willing to pay if I have to.

Unfortunately after finishing watching the special, there was no mention of a DVD coming out thou im sure you would have better luck looking for it for download on some of those less than reputable websites
 
I watched it and it was kick @$$ hearing insights from KRAD, Mack, DRG3, & Beyer -- and seeing them on TV too....for some reason I alwasy thought K Beyer was a blonde....nevertheless, i wonder why CLB wasn't picked to be on the special...i'd would've like to hear his 2 cents. Bottom line...great 2 hour trek special.

I was e-mailed by someone involved with the special back in June, but he only asked if I'd be interested in compiling statistics for the graphics they used -- and I declined because they couldn't afford to compensate me for my time. There was no mention of doing anything on-camera. If I'd been asked to participate as an interviewee, I would've been glad to, but for some reason, I wasn't asked. Maybe the idea to interview writers came later and they just assumed that since I'd turned down the statistics thing, I wasn't interested at all.

Although whoever did handle the stats needed help with their math. Four out of 21 is not nearly a quarter! It's less than a fifth!
 
If anyone could find a streaming clip or youtube link of it that would be great! Unless of course a DVD is appearing? Let's hope its not region locked.
