I've found a neat script written for Ubu 12.04 to download a local mp4 copy of Channel 4oD programmes for offline viewing:-

http://www.armedpineapple.co.uk/2012...rom-4od-linux/

To grab the download it says to input the programme id number shown in the URL like this:-

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/w...nd/4od#3466616

where 346616 is the id number in this example. The problem is that when I view the page with FF on my Ubu box the very end bit of the URL is missing. This is what I get in the address bar:-

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/w...ithout-end/4od

but when I view the same page on a none Ubu box I can see the full id including the 346616 id number. So, my question id why is my Ubu box dropping the id number?
