Silly Stuart.  :)  ABC and FOX's streaming works in OS X and Windows,  
just not in Linux.  There is actually a really good reason for that.   
Have you ever considered how hit and miss it is to write any sort of  
consumer application for Linux that requires advanced graphics.  It is  
a NIGHTMARE.  This is one place where the diversity of Linux REALLY  
works against it.  OS X is easy, and Windows is fairly easy by  
comparison.
