Trying to view Channel 9

i have been trying to view some of the videos bieng hosted at Channel 9 very unsuccessfully. First i got the error stating ""One or more codecs required to open this
media could not be found" , i had sent a mail to thier contact mail address and i must say when i got back to office in the morning(i live india) i had a response...from robert scoble, Scobleizer as he is better known ...but the response was typical of a software vendor....move to the latest version of media player....well i did that and now i have another problem...this time the error is "Windows Media Player cannot connect to the server. The server name may be incorrect or the server is busy. Try again later."

Though i appreciate the quick response, this is becoming quite a tough excercise, and all this effort better be worth it.
