I'm happily using Chromium on Linux to watch iView. However, there is a
trick needed - either use Chrome (from Google) or use Chromuim with
Chrome's flash plugin, Pepper.

Here's a link that explains how to do it with a PPA:

This would be much less the case were the ABC free to choose open
standards, but the open standards do not "properly" (i.e., secretly,
closed-source) support suitable DRM as demanded by their content
suppliers.
