I tried firebug and got this error:
NetworkError: 403 Forbidden -

For the latest in the saga see

Contrary to what many contributors on this message board say, it is NOT
flash at fault.
There is some weird non-windows behaviour with the new handshaking
process that serves up unmetered data for us minority who have an ISP

You _can_ use chrome on linux and watch iview, but it comes Metered at

My son suggests that it might be in the client detection algorithm.
