I need "Castup" to stream news for LINUX

I am attemting to watch the English news broadcast on the Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA). It uses "Castup" to stream. As I am new to Linux, I downloaded Castup not realizing it would not work. Can anyone tell me how to find, download and install "Castup" for Linux? Thank you, Mikael

Their website makes no mention of Linux support.

I looked at the Wine applications database and there is no mention of Castup, though that could be because no one has reported on it.

A native Linux version does not appear to be available. You could try installing a Windows virtual machine (VirtualBox is in the Ubuntu repos--you would need to supply your own Windows CD) and installing Castup in it, but I grant that that's cumbersome workaround.

FrankBell, Thanks for your input. I will wait and keep looking. Someone may have an answer that works.
