  When you say "no longer works", do you mean it worked on Ubuntu in
the past, but doesn't now?

  I'm not a Bell customer so don't know the details of the service,
but think that clarity on this question might help.  Do you access it
from any other non-Windows computer currently, and with which browser?

BTW: I went to http://tvonline.bell.ca/   and clicked on a random link
and was sent to the ctv.ca viewer which uses Flash.  Is it possible
you haven't installed the Flash player on the machine?   I've used the
ctv.ca player to watch a number of shows (same player as used by
Spacecast.com -- and some shows I often catch-up on from my Ubutu
desktop).
