Really would appreciate some help. I have read on several websites that you can get this great app ( to watch terrestrial channels ) on your iTouch as well as an iPhone.

But when I try on my iTouch, after I have logged in it tells me that in order to play, I need ADOBE FLASH PLAYER and then. …."Adobe cannot provide Flash Player for iTouch "

I know people are using TVcatchup on their ITouch so I cant understand what I am doing wrong here ? The itouch was only purchased in May so its the very latest one ( unless a new model has been released )

Any help really would be appreciated ! Thanks

Yeah tried that already mate. Signed up but when you get to the vital part of clicking play on the channel icon, it tells me, I need Adobe Flash player

http://iphone.tvcatchup.com works fine for me. When I visit the site it says just above the channel icons "Logged In As ..." because it uses a cookie it saves in Safari to automatically log me in each time.

You need to ensure that cookies are accepted "From visited" sites (or "Always" if you wish, though I don't recommend that). You also need to ensure that "JavaScipt" is enabled so that the webpage works correctly, and that "Plug-Ins" are enabled so that it opens the video file in the iTouch's standard Quicktime player (you'll find these in the Settings App, in the Safari section).

If it is requesting Flash Player, it sounds like the site doesn't realise you are using an iTouch-- are you using the standard Safari browser without any hacks that fool websites into thinking you are using a desktop browser?

I had this problem the other day then noticed that there was a link from the main page to a mobile site and it works fine.
