Anyone try in2tv (AOL's online TV) yet?

Saw a banner ad for this, so I went over there, and there's a LOT of bells/whistles/such and when you finally get to an ep of one of the shows they have (supposedly a choice of Warner Bros.-produced comedies, dramas, etc.) there's a theme to it like 'bad 70s fashion' (or something like that), the window comes along, and it seems the video only works with little-blue-e instead of Firefox.

According to the promos and things, the shows there include Alice, Wonder Woman, Welcome Back Kotter, Head of the Class, and Eight is Enough; there's more, but I didn't check the complete list.

From the looks of it, I'd rather watch DVD's of the shows instead of using up my RAM memory and putting up with little-blue-e to interface with the video (oh and all those BUSY ads).

Even with those cool classic shows, I wouldn't try it simply because it's IE-only. I tend to boycott services that don't support Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox on general principles.

Not just that...

Windows XP
IE6
WMP10
Flash Player 8

I'm using:

Fedora Core 5
Firefox 1.5
mplayer-plugin
Flash Player 7 for Linux

Yeah...

I also find it interesting that it doesn't work on Netscape, which is owned by AOL, and taken from Firefox's codebase...

I did watch some of in2tv and I have dialup. The picture was so so but pretty good for dialup. The whole show is usually split into 4 clips or so and some of them cut off right in the middle of a scene in some cases. But overall it's pretty good though, BUT it could be better

Really? I have try that. I have dialup too. I thought you only had to have
broadband. Its ashame you can't watch it with Mozilla, or can you, or Netscape. Appearantly, I can't watch it with Opera as I tried with that. But I got Internet Explorer also.
