That web page displays just fine for me in Safari on OS X 10.4.8
What browser and what version of OS X are you using?
What problems are you experiencing? Be specific and extremely detailed in your description of problems.

Interesting that it works for you Hayne - Doesn't work for me in any browser, stalls when I select any channel on the cover with no video window and no browser activity. Could it be blocked by my Cable ISP who also sells HDTV?

All I said above was that the one page linked to seems to work fine. I didn't click on anything on that page to try to actually watch a show. That page goes too several different web pages, each run by the separate companies - hence my reason for asking for specifics about exactly what was tried and what went wrong.

I went to that page again and this time clicked on ABC and got to a different page with a video area where it told me that I had to be in the US to view the TV shows.
I then clicked on CNN and didn't get much in the way of video area etc. I assume this is because it is using some other video mechanism or whatever.

In any case, you need to be specific about what isn't working.

No problems her either.

Some quick questions.

What Mac OSX system version are you using?

Do you have all the current updates installed?

Which browsers have you tried?

This may help shed some light on the problem you are having.

I can access the site in Firefox and Safari but the videos that are linked to the site directly, not the links along the bottom, don't work.

Such as this page: http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-...n-network.html

I can view that page, but there's no video if there's meant to be any there.

I didn't try them all, but the ABC streaming video seems to work fine. I watched a few minutes of Grey's Anatomy.

Safari error message
 
The page:

http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-...n-network.html

generates the following error message in Safari (Mac OSX 10.4.8):

The page “Watch online news for free.” has content of MIME type “application/x-oleobject”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Nick

I get the cover page but all of the links to streaming video produce blank pages. Someone has already commented that the shows are restricted to the US - probably to avoid problems with the CRTC. Having said that, it's of no consequence to me - I'm not a TV fan.
