The Channel 4 catchup player is really awful
I thought this kind of message was a thing of the past, but clearly Channel4.com believe that we are still living in the 1990's and it is acceptable.

These "restrictions" are not a problem for the BBC iPlayer. Come on Channel 4, get with the program, we live in 2008 last time I looked! By excluding the growing number of people on platforms other than Windows and Internet Explorer, Channel4 is limiting its audience, unnecessarily.
... I see the bbc is considering offering the iPlayer to its rivals since they clearly can't compete, so hopefully this situtation above will change soon.
