I am having trouble watching TV shows that need logging in with Dish. A search showed a similar issue at #9786

Basically: Attempting to isolate the needed cookies by making a new firefox profile, and going to my sites found that I was already logged in through Dish, without having to enter account name/password; this implies that abobe flash is handling the login.

ExtractorError: This video is only available via cable service provider subscription that is not currently supported. You may want to use --cookies.

Note that I have a cookie file specified. I can visit adult swim or disney XD, and watch shows, without having to provider any more details. Yet it's not working here.

My question: Is this because I have Dish as my provider, or is it because something is not being exported in my cookies? NB: I have self-destructing cookies installed, just to keep from accumulating tons of advertising cookies (each visit serves a new ad).

Cookies kept: adobe.com, adultswim.com, cartoonnetwork.com, fwmrm.com, go.com, turner.com.
