I've thoroughly tested all the Flash-capable (streaming) browsers with the above video.


SkyFire: no-go (it seems SkyFire has pretty low compatibility rate lately – for , it was also unable to play back QVC stuff ( http://www.qvcuk.com/ ) either)


Photon: OK (about 10 fps, good audio)


iSwifter: better than Photon (about 20 fps, good audio)


Puffin: better than Photon (about 20 fps, good audio)


All in all, you can safely go for either iSwifter or Puffin.

Unlike with SkyFire, iSwifter, Photon (this after explicitly switching to Flash mode with the thunder icon) and Puffin have all been able to render the main Flash frame. However, I haven't been able to test the streaming itself as I don't have a login on the site.


BTW, did you know that SkyFire does list the videos on the page, all accessible via the icon in the lower left corner? Interestingly, those videos require no login.
