Tv Anywhere
 

When logging in to tv anywhere I get a mesage saying my browser (Chrone) is not good enough and do I want to proceed anyway. Flash is up to date as well. I think it mentions about upgrading my pc aswell but running an i7 with 18 gig of ram and a ddr5 2 gig graphics card must be enough.

I was wondering if anyone else has this and is there a fix for it


Cheers

Chrome doesnt work anymore, you`ll have to use another browser Be warned, it will cost you one of your monthly slots when you change browsers

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

Any idea which browsers will work because I know quite a few of the main stream ones dont.

This is getting ridiculous

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

Firefox is supported on both Windows and OS X and Safari is supported on OS X.

IE is supported, however there is a restriction on Win 8.1 devices with touchscreens at present (due to a request from the content providers to block Windows Tablets from using the browser version of TV Anywhere)

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

Bad news too if you have updated your Android device to Lollipop as Virgin still haven't got the Anywhere App to work.

Can't be too hard on them as it's only 6 months since public release.

Mind you I did have to laugh when I saw Virgin's Facebook post announcing Galaxy S6 coming soon.

Unless they get their act together I expect it will have to be shipped with a big sticker on it saying "Want Virgin TV Anywhere - tough you've got Lollipop!"

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

It is actually working on Lollipop now after a recent update.

Though with being Wi-Fi only, for a lot of people a bit useless?

The things I hate most though are the lack of slots and only being able to swap once a month. Oh and it not working with Chromecast.

Who these days only has 2 or 3 capable devices?

Aside that it's great. :D

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

Well you can get free wiFi almost anywhere now so shouldn't be to much of a problem.

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

True, unfortunately not at work. :(

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

Lack of Chromecast ( and AirPlay) support is common, Sky Go also.

Provide that function and there is no need for multiroom.

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

Also potentially exposes the content to copying which is the bigger reason I'd expect.

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

I get that. We have Tivo plus 4 HD boxes and were told we can't have anymore so it would have been a big help for the rooms where we have no box.

Oh well, I just work round it best I can.

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

Oh no, how would they ever cope with someone copying their content from VM's potato quality streams? :dozey:

Also, shouldn't it now be called "TV Sort-Of-Anywhere (If you have Wifi and the right* browser and hardware)"

*Compatible browsers and devices will be dictated by a policy known only to the elder ones, who reside in R'lyeh.

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

I can't think of anything on TV Anywhere that could not be copied via other means. In the case of a US show it will have been available before it reached these shores!

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

The one big thing i dislike about TV Anywhere is that its not usable on 3G.

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

BT Sport offer Chromecast functionality.

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

That's two seperate things though. The content providers will request that second screen is disabled.

As does Now TV - but I'd think that's because the service and the channels are either owned by the same people i.e either BT or Sky.

Same as the BBC support Chromecast, but neither Sky or VM can offer BBC via their own streaming services.

Personally I'm not trying to justify the distinction, but it is what it is and both Sky and VM have to comply.

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

Chromecast doesn't operate via a second screen, except in "mirror your entire screen" mode which works in just about any app.

This is something a lot of people overlook or don't realise. When you cast something from a phone to a Chromecast the phone does not send any video stream to the Chromecast.

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

My bad in regards to the terminology. I have a Chromecast so am aware how it works.

My point still stands though.

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

Sky don't own Disney Channel , Discovery , Fox , ITV Encore etc.

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

Fair enough. Been a while since I looked at Now TV.

It's obviously one of those days for me. Never mind.

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

I'd say the reason both TV Anywhere and Sky Go don't support airplay or Chromecast is more to do with not wanting to harm multiroom sales.

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

Gosh, we've gone round in circles. That's what I said.

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

If you read my post back I just stated BT Sport offered Chromecast support , I didn't disagree with your views re multiroom.

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

...and you need to read your post which I quoted. I was not responding to your earlier post.

Re: Tv Anywhere
 

I had the same problem, use Firefox, it works fine
