thats odd, it used to suggest using ietab as a workaround.

having read about the fab drama trailer in another thread I went to ITV.com to try and watch it. I opened IE7 on Vista and it informed me (not very obviously) that I needed to upgrade my DRM. So I did so.

It then asked me to install an activex control. So I did so, and then it asked me for another, which it did.

Then a WMP window appeared. And did nothing. I tried rebooting and everything and it never worked.

How on earth do they expect anyone to be able to use this when its so darn complex?

ITV.com News - still have that ugly logo on their homepage - the top story photograph and text used on the Celebrity website looks better.

Do you mean this website: http://www.itv.com/Entertainment/celebrity/default.html

And I agree ITV News's site is foul.

I just sit back in the knowledge their 'real' life must be so damn boring, they have to take out their problems on what is really a computer screen. Ahhh wel.

I wonder if they will replace the purple background on the homepage with snowflakes - 'one can hope' and 'one will know it won't happen'.
