Can the X10 support playing programmes on the various broadcasters view on demand sites?

I think it has to do with the lack of flash support...Just my thought

yes you can watch them.

You need to find a copy of the original beeb player apk file - it still works fine but was withdrawn from the market due to issues with the BBC licencing. There are plenty of places to download it from on the net

You can also register yourself at TV Catchup - despite what some people say, it works perfectly well on the X10 - use the HQ feed to view live (well a couple of second delay) UK Freeview channels.

I believe these two only work in the UK

TV Catchup works perfectly on the X10

use the mobile site not the 'flash' site

m.tvcatchup.com

a quick search for catchup tv TV android would have found this page
