Yeah I did post the other day - no problem

PTV run all the club sites and I assume they choose the technology so I guess they're the ones to blame. Windows WMP DRM is simply not supported on the Mac, so it must be a new thing. They also claim to only support IE 6+ as well - presumably the DRM thing again - so that cuts out FireFox and other browser users on Windows. Actually I can do everything (including the match commentaries) except the streaming video. I fully expect the commentary to be withdrawn sooner rather than later.

I can see why they want to protect their content, but I suspect they didn't even attempt to investigate cross platform solutions
