BBC F1 coverage not doesn't work?

I used to be able to watch BBC internet coverage of things like F1 practice that's going on as I write.

I can watch it on the PC and used to be able to watch it on any brower on my Desire HD, but not any more. I've tried loads of browsers - Opera, Firefox, Dolphin etc. All of them load the page, but the TV image never opens, it just sits on the spinning icon.

I assume this is a Flash player issue, I have 10.3 but it's at the latest version, what might I be doing wrong?

Here's the link, though it's probably only available in the UK and won't be valid for long as the program will end soon.

BBC Sport - F1 - Live - European Grand Prix practice

I watch it all the time... uninstal flash and reinstall usually sorts it..
 
There's no option to uninstall Flash, only remove it's updates. Is it a preinstalled app?

What's odd is that I can watch live TV on it, I'm watching Sharapova making stupid noises on BBC 1 via the BBC website right now, but I can't watch the live stuff that's off channel, the Friday F1 practice for example.

Sounds like your not rooted so yes downgrade and upgrade should sort it.. was watching/listening/monitoring (incase any old bill about) motogp from bbc site other day driving from york to bradford ..
 
I have the same problem. I uninstalled the flash updates and re-installed but things on the BBC Sport website doesn't work. Thing is flash seems to work on other websites.
Any suggestions?
 
It seems that everything else such as youtube, iplayer etc. work fine with me (using HTC Desire S) its just BBC F1 live coverage I can't get, even the videos on the same BBC page work, just not the live feed, shows a blank screen only!
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am a bit new to smartphones I don't think I am safe to uninstall and re install flash, I would probably cock it up, but willing to try it if somebody can confirm that it will cure the problem.
 
Just viewed the page mentioned and it's working fine on my Samsung Galaxy SII's stock browser running Flash Player 10.3.
