Since I hadn't updated my regular Firefox on Linux useragent string in
my lynx alias in awhile, I just now updated it to match my currently
installed Firefox, and now it also worked for this URL, and also the
DirectTV one you provided in your previous message.  My "go to" alias to
use in such cases, though is the one that tells them what I think of
people who block browsers based on useragent, in the off-chance that
they look through their logs.  It may not change their behavior, but it
does let them know what I think of that deplorable behavior.
