Annoyingly, I'd missed something on Channel 4. No problem I thought, I'll head on over to C4's on demamd streaming site, imaginatively called '4OD'.
This is what I saw:
Why do I have to use Microsoft software? I'll accept no bullshit excuses, as the BBC manages to support Linux perfectly well with the
iPlayer.
Sadly, and once again, a major organisation has failed to utilise open standards and favoured a closed-source/proprietary system.
I can only hope that the
BBC takes control of Channel 4, and extends the iPlayer service to cover Channel 4 content too.

Try http://www.channel4.com/programmes/catch-up - you don't need to install the software, so effectively it's like iPlayer.
I was in the same situation over the weekend, missing something I wanted to watch so went down the same route. Unfortunately it appears that it's selective in what's available, and my program of choice was probably too niche to be considered worthwhile making available.
Update: 4OD works fine now, not used it myself yet but I believe they went flash
