Did you eat all your broccoli?

I did, I was also warned not to sit to close to ChessTV or I might go blind.  I'm all set, but I just can't watch it.

(I did, however, make a face when I was a kid and it stayed that way -- incidentally, if there's a nice girl out there who went blind from sitting too close to the TV...).

Doesn't work for me either in firefox 3.  It's viewable in ie tab but the menus go under the video so it's not perfect.

TheGrobe,

Do you have the recent version of Flash Player properly installed? Check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/

Wonderful:  I did not have the most recent version of Flash, and now that I tried to install it I don't have Firefox anymore either.  Seriously, it tanked my Firefox install and I'm stuck with IE...

Go figure, ChessTV works in IE though.

Off to try and fix Firefox....

If anyone watches a rerun of the latest episode, they will now hear David give a sigh and say "Oh, Nytik..." and no-one will have any idea what that was for. This is the problem with watching On Demand! Cool

I had to my help-desk triage process to fix Firefox:

  1. Reboot
  2. Reinstall
  3. Replace

Thankfully I only had to go to step 2.  Now, of course, there's no broadcast for me to test the Flash upgrade.  Is there a place where re-runs actually can be watched on demand so I can test it?

Avatar of sstteevveenn

yeah same place I think.  during the broadcast there was an on demand button in the lower left of the screen which brought up a menu or something. 

haha Nytik what was that for?  My fave was that Rb7 move.  The annotation was almost chessmaster-esque.
