4od demands registration even with current programmes

patricia1066

I am not sure if this is a matter for the cache and cookies, but if you can help I would be grateful.

Chrome on Lion OSX.

I tried to access a 4od programme which was 30 days old and was asked to register or sign up. I then found programmes in the 7 day range but still was required to register.

I cleared cache and cookies, still no effect. I did not close Chrome.

I checked the terms and Channel 4 say that you only have to register if the programme is over 28 days since broadcast or not yet broadcast.

What am I doing wrong?

Have u tried to register at all? Then you wouldnt have to worry about the problem occuring? HTH

I dont want to register. I will email the site and tell them that they seem to be blocking people who dont register. If I get a reply I will update.

What shows are you trying to watch?

Just went there, clicked on a program (rules of engagement) & it started playing without the need for registration (IE9)

I don't know if it affects Chrome - but I know 4oD's done somethign to their site this week blocking people who use adblocker software (cos adblock used to stop you having to sit through the 3 ads before stuff played) - took me a bit of fiddling to get Firefox working again with it... could it be connected to the problem you're having?

Yes, it does affect Chrome, but it works perfectly with adblock disabled. That's with Windows 7 though, not Lion.

I do use adblocker, I will try without it. Thanks

Use chrome on Win7 and adblocker plus and 4od working fine for me:cool:
