    Are you talking about getting it to work in your internet browser?

    If so, check if there is a Windows Media Player plug-in for your browser.

    Are you in the UK? If not, it may be doing filtering based on the geographic location of your IP. In which case, you're just outta luck.

    yes i'm in UK and techincally should have no problems using it. I'm also using uk sky internet. I tried following the method of setting region to UK as my old region was US but still didn't help. I seriously don't want to logon to the webpage each time.

    Thanks

    Hrm... I don't know then, unfortunately. Perhaps they do limit it to browser-only. I've seen stupidity like that from Hulu on this side of the pond.
