# Sorry to TJ
But anyone know how to get round this error on Channel 4 OD?
I've looked everywhere for a solution.

# 4OD is horribly invasive software. I'd recommend torrenting/streaming online if you can.

# Actually it's not to bad
if you restrict kservice and khost.

# Now there's two familiar filenames
Sky movie's download used those years ago (don't know if it still does) and most antivirus software at the time picked them up as trojans.

Unless 4OD are more honest than sky, they are a stealth torrent-style streaming product - once you download a file to your PC, it uses your internet bandwidth to upload it to others and this runs on your machine 24/7 unless you manually configure the services it installs to do otherwise.

I'm going to stick with the beeb's flash iplayer.

# That's the one
Which is why you need to keep a tight reign on it:P

# iplayer
uses the same software (my pc gets confused if i start using one after periods of using the other) at least with 4od you can stream instead of downloading

# Beeb does a Flash player too now
so you don't need to install anything and/or use XP, IE and WMP11.

# Stop using Internet Explorer? :)
Does it work with firefox?

# May sound a bit random but
is the clock right on your PC?

# Reinstall WMP?
Any IE security settings that could be blocking something? (Try putting vodapp.grid.channel4.com/ into trusted sites (if you trust them), clear temp internet files and restart)
DRM upgrade at drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp(In IE only unfortunately)

# Disable script de-bugging in i.e. advanced options
You may still get the error... but at least you wont get the message.. ;)
(And please please please change to firefox)
