Then you must be running a supported version, Hamish.  But in any case, the 
issue is not whether someone is running a "mainstream" version as proclaimed by 
the ABC, but whether they're running standard protocols as defined by ISO and 
its delegated organisations.

Attempting to watch iView on a "supported" browser or O/S displays:

So we then follow 
https://iviewsupport.abc.net.au/hc/en-us/articles/360000959316-Why-am-I-seeing-error-codes-in-my-web-browser-
 to find the explanation below, which probably means zilch to most ABC viewers:
o       the user is running an "older" (TBA) browser;
o       the user is running an "older" (TBA) O/S;
o       and/or the user is running a "security-browser" (TBA).

But don't despair, dear non-technical viewer, the problem _may_ go away if you 
_try_ these options:

o       upgrade your macOS;
o       update from Windows XP or Windows-7 O/S;
o       if you are receiving this error message on a Chromebook, resetting your 
browser settings may (MAY?) resolve the issue.

In my opinion one problem is glaringly obvious: all this is written by ABC 
Geeks for other Geeks, not for real users.
