I cannot log in to the nbcolympics.com (USA) site on Ubuntu. (I have tried on two computers, with Chromium and Firefox on each.) I choose "Click here to get started", then the site asks for my cable provider. I choose it, enter my password, and it appears to accept it. The next screen that loads again says "Click here to get started". If I click it and choose my provider, it doesn't even ask for my password, it just says signing in and the process repeats. A couple of points:

It works fine on Windows XP.

If I purposely enter a wrong password, it tells me so. This error only occurs if I have the password correct.

Has anyone been able to make it work?

As per this post on the Adobe website:

Step One: Install HAL

sudo apt-get install hal

Step Two: Quit your web browser

Step Three: Clean out the Adobe Flash folder:

cd ~/.adobe/Flash_Player

rm -rf NativeCache AssetCache APSPrivateData2

This process worked for me. In my case, I'd been able to go to nbcolympics.com and click the log to begin the verification process, but never given the chance to enter my Comcast credentials. Doing the steps above fixed everything.
