Since there's no "general tech" forum... here will do.

Has anyone gotten the TVNZ On Demand website to work? I've tried in firefox and IE on XP and it doesn't do anything - I click to watch something and it just sits there, network unused. Everything else works. Any ideas?

It works well both on IE and Firefox for me.

The only glitch on the TVNZ website is the actual home page of TVNZ. Sometimes the video would not play.

yep.

What version of Flash have you got installed?, TVNZ On Demand does not work all that well with flash 7.0 or lower, it works better with flash 8.0 & above.

It worked fine for me - actually we just finished watching a programme I downloaded last night - plugged the laptop to the LCD TV and the resolution wasn't so bad either.

I could never get TVNZ on demand to work either. If you try to stream a video, the loading bar just sits there and spins. Nothing happens and no video is ever played.

I've been only been able to download something once, I didn't watch it, though, and since I've never been able to get anything to work. None of the help guides or FAQs or anything are much help, and I've tried everything I can think of. I have the latest Flash, latest Firefox, Windows updates, Media player, etc. I even tried in IE and it didn't work!
