however the solution only applies to windows media player 9 or 10 and i have windows media player 11 on my computer.

Terrible p2p software that installs stealthy ware on your PC and uses YOUR bandwidth and CAP to distribut Sky's content so it costs them nearly nothing in their own server bandwidth.

It should have a health warning.


Get rid of it and don't bother getting it up and running, use your dish and optionally a Sky+ box to watch TV. Save the Internet and your cap.

After watty's rant, (his heart is in the right place, bless!) and you still want to use the service, go to Windows Update and make sure you have all the recent critical updates.

watty

Of course that (WU) may "break" something else

Select custom on windows update and expand the items so you see what they do. You don't have to take all on them.

Non-critical non-security updates require a Valid XP. They allow Pirate copies or unregistered copies to get critical updates.

DMC

But does DRM come under "critical"? Not sure if it does.

watty

Probably not. Without it you can't use the protected content at all. So there is no secuirity issue
