Yeah, like a whole in the head... I go into a cold shiver running Windows in a VM
Didn't work for me! and I have pop-up ads going berzerk with a pop-up blocker on!!

this site seems to have quite a few UK channels including BBC:

works without any app on iphone and android and to play on PC needs a client install. Live stream of various channels.
Did not test on PC yet but on iphone works very well.

Any suggestions gratefully received!
Looks good - but be warned, there are a couple of porn channels - I hit filthonXXXlatina instead of ITV1 and was slightly taken aback by what I saw. So be careful with this site around kids!!
yeah, tough mis-type that....

These posts are useless without pictures .
It could be worse...The other way around.
