Despite having promised myself that I would never play with money via a web applet vs. downloadable software again, I've signed up out of sheer curiosity (and because I saw a nice streaming tv thing last night) and will probably be trying this out. 

I have to say that my PC is a dinosaur (i.e. over three years old, and not even bought new) and I am getting an error message per page change on the Sky Poker site: "A script on this page may be busy or may have stopped responding.....do you want to end it or continue?" which I think is just a way of telling me it's very slow, which is self evident.

I have broadband but I think the efficiency of the site must be linked to the efficiency of one's hardware which is a shame as simple and quick is better than shiny and slow.  I remember that my previous computer (shamefully decrepit, even in comparison to this one) stalled to the point of unusability when it tried to open more than one Tribeca table, and the sites with the sleek programming like UB and PartyPoker were the ones I could actually use.  I might go round to my Mum's to play the Open. 

Are any other people with crap computers finding it impossibly slow?

You really ought to Post more Jen. A Jen Post is like one of those goodie bags we used to buy when we were kids - you never know what you were gonna find in it.

I think you usually find a complaint, disguised as a question or helpful comment.  Like the chocolate in the box that is all sweet on the outside but it's actually, like, tamarind jelly inside or vinegar praline.  This time I have a genuine point, though.

[KingPoker]

Im confused as to what the genuine point is?

I'm told one can play it via the Red Button thingy on your TV. Knowing your place, the cat ate the Red Button years ago.

I too was stuggling to register on the pc so i registered through my Sky set and then logged into the site.

However i cant get it to work on my lap-top due to my Norton firewall.

Does it just start in the browser?

I guess that's why TV's dont have Firewalls.....

I'm registered for the tournament fine, but can't get the live TV thingy to work - just got a blank screen with a clock type thing on it

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!!!
