Same error message from that site. I am running Debian Lenny (fully updated) with the actual flash plugin from Adobe's site installed through iceweasle. Heh, it's kinda funny that they don't seem to notice their own plugin... Frankly, I have not had much luck with tv websites that stream their online content. Everything pretty much sucks. From Mythbusters episodes on Discovery's website to that Hulu website. I can't seem to get them to work right. As for suggestions...What about building a MythTV box to capture the episodes as they air? That is what I do. And should the recording fail for some reason (#*&!%^ Charter!) there is a famous bay for torrents that does a really good job. ;-) Have fun! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
