Thank you.  I had assumed that the issue was a DRM-related one but was a 
bit shocked that my regular DRM unlocker software didn't even recognize 
that files were on the HDD.  Further research led to several decade-old 
technical papers that spoke of manufacturers' efforts to further harden 
commercial DRM encoding.  So, I was concluding that I was too many years 
behind the curve  when your confirmation arrived.

Korean dramas, not real television as we know it.  I was exploring the 
torrent option when my resourceful daughter pointed out that there are 
Amazon Prime DVD and streaming versions of several of them.  Although 
there are some torrent options, the quality is spotty and Amazon options 
offer kanji, hangul, and English soft-coded supers, so we may go with 
Prime and pretend this issue never arose.
