Error doesn't happen on official release version of Win 8.
May be time to upgrade.
Cheers,
Dan

Yeah, yeah. Getting there...  ;)

The 'Open account setup page' link throws an error on my machine. Windows 8 Release Preview.

I've been getting fake Facebook updates (I'm not on Facebook) to the IceTV address that I supplied only to IceTV (interactive and the forum) since July.  The username is 13 characters long and contains a hyphen.  Really, that's not guessable

Have to jump in here. The spammers aren't 'guessing', they're using botnets to generate email addresses using random names/letters/numbers/characters.
100,000 infected machines (a small botnet) generating 10 emails a second is a lot of emails per day (1,440,000,000). The vast majority of those are junk. A small proportion end up as valid and in all probability, that's what you're seeing.

Real world example. One spam forwarded to me recently (I'm in the IT security investigations group in a large IT company) was addressed to this list of email addresses:
jonathan_stern@___.com jonbrown@___.com jonesseanj@___.com jovannybisel@___.com jreqbhrpsz@___.com jstern@___.com justin_hildebrandt@___.com karen_taylor@___.com karlicoyan@___.com katbrown@___.com katieg@___.com kaylahbadman@___.com kentbekent@___.com

Four of those are legitimate and the legitimate ones aren't the ones you'd expect!
So personally, I don't believe there has been any compromise of IceTV.

Add me to the 'me too' list. Should have checked first if Win8 was supported before signing up for the free trial!

Thanks. Guess I can't ask for more than that.

PS3 is the centre of my media universe. Any hope for IceTV on it?
Sick of forgetting to record things and not being able to because I'm not at home, tv stations moving shows around and lack of series support.
