What browser are you using?
Does it provide support for the DRM three uses?

TV3 doesn't work with Edge. Have to use Firefox or chrome.

 

I contacted them ages ago about this, but they don't seem too interested in allowing Edge.

Edge lacks the Advanced DRM rights controls that are afforded to Chrome and Firefox (aka location based on wifi to make it harder to circumvent geolocation with VPN)

 

ThreeNow will not work outside NZ even with a VPN, unless the device has no wifi adapter

Using Edge.... which is based on Chromium anyway...

You can just change the user agent - then it works fine. Thus proving how stupid this is by TV3.

 

F12 for dev tools -> Network Conditions -> User Agent -> Chrome (for example)

 

 

 

Can use Ctrl + Shift + P in dev tools to search for "conditions" to help find it.

This sort of thing annoys me (although I don't personally use ThreeNow anyway). If the browser is unsupported, then say that when the customer tries to contact support. Don't artificially block the browser entirely just because your support department doesn't support it!

It's cute that three think that their stuff is worth all this protection.

I think more likely it'll be a Product Manager saying "we only support Chrome and Firefox".
