Known Issues

If you have never installed Adobe Flash Player for Internet Explorer you may be having issues with it not playing or displaying a grey screen. Adobe Flash Player for Internet Explorer is required to display the video.

(It is not neccessary to uninstall the Flash Player for other browsers like FireFox or Safari).

  • 1 - Open Internet Explorer and visit http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
  • 2 - Click on the "Agree and Install Now" button at the bottom of the page. (NOTE: Uncheck the "Google Toolbar" box if you don't want to install it.)
  • 3 - On the next page, scroll to the bottom of the page and find: "Your download will start automatically. If it does not start, click here to download." Click on "click here to download".
  • 4 - When the download dialog box appears, choose "Run".
  • 5 - Follow the install prompts and let the flash player install. Close when finished.
  • 6 - Open TWiT TV for Windows and Enjoy.
