Regarding the DRMing of Official Shite streamed content, which is no longer Mac compatible
This is the response I received from the Premium Services:
"Following the rapid growth of a range of video sharing websites over recent months, a significant volume of content which is provided on an exclusive basis to subscribers was being made freely available on the Internet. We have to have a solution that will satisfactorily safeguard the content for paying subscribers.
This has required us to DRM the content and due to changes made recently we are no longer able to support Apple / Mac products. Specifically Windows Media Player is longer supported on this platform and likewise IE6.0.
This has been extended to all our sites, if you can access the service from a Windows machine supporting the above products, please do so. If however this is not possible we can offer a refund for unused portion of your subscription. Please notify us by return if you wish to take this option.

Canaries World Customer Support"
