Both. I am using Windows and I tried it with Mozilla and Internet Explorer. IE showed more stuff at the top of the screen than Mozilla.

I'm using lynx and I cannot see any TV, can someone help me? 
No, but really I'm using Galeon, and I've tried Mozilla, I click the "enter" button on the link from the first post, and get some page trying to sell me something, I then click a link at the top of that page that take me here:
http://istreamcast.com/channels.htm
And this address never resolves, and eventually times out.
Cool |

Make sure your not blocking "popups". The page is a full screen popup, i think.

Hmmm, I do get the fullscreen pop-up, but it times out everytime. I've never known my ISP to block anything, not even port 80, so I doubt it's a problem on my end... I will give it a go later on the work box to see if I can watch from there.
Thanks.
