What a disappointment. Anybody know what add-on United is looking for? I was able to play 'one' TV show on with no problems. They only offer a house hunting show without this add-on.

Anybody have the same problem? What am I missing here?
On Android you're supposed to use the United app, you don't need to use the browser. Look for the "Entertainment" button on the main screen, or scroll down to Entertainment in the menu. I've never had issues with this.*

On "desktop" you'll need a browser, I think I've used both Firefox and Safari without issues. (Chrome are starting to remove various kinds of plugin support, hence you can't use Chrome.)


*not entirely never: I had issues with the Android 7 developer preview, but that doesn't really count since it's experimental and explictly not supported by anyone.
