List some of the sites. You have already been shown to be wrong about CBS.?

ed
south park, amex fhr, and hulu (for non subscription access, so hulu+ does nothing for me) are still the big ones for me. i'll let you know in a couple weeks if the yahoo fantasy football site (or the app) is any better this year (last year the draft site was flash only, and you couldn't draft from the app (android or ios)).

Lloyd
Leave Hulu out of it as they have non-flash video without subscription.

ed
wait, what? where?

Pony up the $ and they'll show you.

At one time I checked on Hulu with a machine that didn't have Flash installed at all and it worked fine. It was early on in Hulu's changeover, so it was very limited.

But I've read in many places that Hulu doesn't need flash at all anymore. The fact that their site won't work with a browser in iOS devices or the PS3 is all about getting the bucks and nothing about the technology.

Lloyd
The fact that you can't view it on the iOS devices has nothing to do with Flash and all to do with getting you to pay!

At first it was an issue and Flash was a requirement, that has changed.
