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.

 

Quote "Sorry: www.channel4.com/ currently only supports Windows PCs using Internet Explorer 6 or 7. This is due to restrictions with rights and technical protection measures required"

 

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.
