Flip4Mac?
We missed an episode of "The Closer" on TNT and thought: no big deal, we can download it.

We went to the TNT site and had to download a program called Flip4Mac WMV which was installed as both a WMV Player and quick Time Player. but then, nothing happened. Eventually we got a "grouchy" face telling us: sorry, this clip requires MS Window Player.

Has anyone ever downloaded a program from TNT?

1. You might have to either restart Safari or reboot.
You might as well download this too.

4. I use Flip4Mac to open and watch wmv files, it works fine.
I cannot stand Windows Media Player, Flip 4 Mac opens wmv files in QT.

If you can save the file you want to watch it might work, but I'm not sure TNT lets you do that.

Please let me know if you get it to work, I might want to watch that show myself!
