All seems fine to me. I just downloaded SNL and Transplant. Admittedly, I can't download your link, but that seems to be (according to the error) because I don't have a TV provider.

It turns out, that NBC no longer supports Charter_Direct as an MSO, and neither youtube-dlc or youtube-dl supports Spectrum as an MSO. This works just fine with other MSOs, like DTV.
