is there any chance to download this video:

https://abc.com/shows/new-years-rockin-eve/episode-guide/season-51/03-dick-clarks-new-...st-2023-part-1

without having TV Provider credentials and without waiting a week for it to become accessible to everyone?

The easiest way I have found is to find the resolution/size file from the master/main m3u8 file and download with ffmpeg.

I am using Chrome as my browser, these steps work for me:

Make sure that you have the extension "User Agent Switcher for Chrome" / "Chrome UA Spoofer" installed and loaded.

Go to whatever ABC page, from your example:

https://abc.com/shows/new-years-rockin-eve/episode-guide/season-51/03-dick-clarks-new-years-rockin-eve-with-ryan-seacrest-2023-part-1

While NOT logged into subscriber login

Open Developer Tools -> Network Tab
Search for .m3u8

Chrome UA Spoofer -> iOS -> iPad
Once UA is now iPad and the page refreshes itself, should find 1 m3u8 file.
No need to hit play.

Select the .m3u8 file, and choose the "response" tab.
Here you will see the various resolutions and versions within the master .m3u8 file.
Choose the resolution you want.

I download using ffmpeg.

ffmpeg -protocol_whitelist file,udp,rtp,crypto,tcp,http,https,rtsp,tls  -i "link-to-.m3u8-file" -c copy "NameofFile.mp4"

My way of doing it.

this method doesn't work for me (also with US IP)

the sign of TV provider is always required ... (obviously with agent iPad active)

The first time or so I tried on that video it worked not being signed in. You are correct though now for sure! My process does not work, it forces you to sign-in. Still works with others videos on ABC if login info isn't needed, and of course if you log in.
