Hmm that sucks. It should have media player 10 on there, which is
broadly unchanged under the hood, as far as playing protected video
content goes.
Do you have WMP10 on there, and have you had chance to try it using
that ? I'd contact Sky if it doesn't work, because there's no real
*reason* for them to insist on WMP11 for anything they're doing.
HTH
