    Likely a flash or silverlight issue.

    theres a known issue with the eircom dns servers and 4od. 4od works perfectly in ireland on any other network. there is a workaround though. change your dns servers to opendns by following these steps.
    Go to System Preferences.
    Click on Network.
    Select the first connection in your list and click Advanced.
    Select the DNS tab and add 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 to the list of DNS servers.
    Click OK.
