    Hi there everyone,
    I am an owner of the M15x and can't for the life of me get channel 4's online video service (4OD) to work on my computer, just get a whole load of different error messages. Just wondering whether anyone has gone through this process and found a light at the end of the tunnel :) If so would really appreciate your help.
    Thanks

    Blimey, I didn't know such a service existed.

    What do the error messages say? Try doing a search on Google with variations of the error message, you might be lucky and find someone who had a problem like yours and managed to find a fix.

    I got it to work on my m15x perfectly. For those of you that don't know about 4od, it's like BBC's iPlayer, but the Channel 4 version. It lets you watch series and dramas that have been shown recently- you can have the option of download or streaming the thing you wanna watch.

    In fact, I am downloading Hollyaks Omnibus to watch later.

    Everytime i do it i get the following message,

    Error 1904. Module
    C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\Flash 9d.ocx failed to register. HRESULT- 2147220473

    Then when i try and stream something online, it loads up the player and then this message comes up,

    Delivery Manager has stopped working - and then it just shuts down.

    After this i am pretty clueless. Any help greatly appreciated.

    totally delete it off your computer and then reload it using the link above in my previous post. if that doesnt work then i wonder if there is a conflict with something running windows. maybe try going to msconfig and turning some of the windows start up programs off.
    this is only a guess but its worth a try.
    come on guys, anyone else got any ideas.
