The discoverychannel canada is just as bad.

Even with the user agent faked, you only get slightly further, being
told that you should upgrade to flash 8 or higher, which is odd since I
have flash 9 installed and all other web sites seem perfectly able to
detect that.  Apparently the goofballs at CTV just don't know anything
about coding web pages.
