The Camera lists this for 7PM. I don't get HBO. Suggestions as to where it could be watched, like a bar?

Subject: Hacking Democracy Airs Just Before Midterm Elections!
On November 2, 2006 at 9pm ET/PT--less than a week before midterm
elections--HBO Documentary Films presents Hacking Democracy which
exposes gaping holes in the security of America's electronic voting
system.
>From a current congressional hearing to persistent media reports that
suggest misuse of data and even outright fraud, concerns over the
integrity of electronic voting are growing by the day. Since the 2000
presidential election scandal, which lead voters to believe that their
vote didn't count, computer hacking has been considered a very real, and
almost frightening possibility.
This cautionary documentary exposes the vulnerability of computers -
which count approximately 80% of America's votes in county, state and
federal elections - suggesting that if our votes aren't safe, then our
democracy isn't safe either.
Midterm elections are on November 7, 2006 and as America's fate is left
to rely upon vulnerable machinery the stakes for democracy are high.
