The videos take forever to load (I'm on dial-up), but when they start I can watch about 2 seconds then the video stops and reloads. I'm using windows xp.

Don't feel like the Lone Stranger. I have tried watching these videos many times. With each HGTV Pro email I get, they always offer "new and great videos" THAT WON'T PLAY!! And I have high speed internet, so it doesn't have anything to do with whether your on dial-up, cable or whatever. The file should load into a buffer, then play. A slower connection should just take longer to buffer, that's all. I've tried different browser settings, etc, to no avail. Apparently, some folks at HGTV are asleep at the wheel.
