    Downloaded IE 11 with no problems noted.
    I listen to internet radio a lot and all stations I listen to work fine except one. I can log on fine but when I click on "Listen Live" I get a pop up window titled "Message from Webpage" and the message in the window is "Sorry the browser you are using is not currently supported. Please choose a Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or IE browser to listen to this broadcast ".
    I called the station twice, a week apart, and they said they have no other complaints about IE 11 noted. This has been going on since I installed IE 11. Sounds like a station problem and not IE 11. Our laptop has IE 10 and works fine with the station. Thought I would check to see if anyone has anything similar and make sure it's not me. Thanks for your help/comments, Jack

    I just went there and it told me that I needed the MS Silverlight. I have the latest version and am running IE 10 at the moment. Makes me wonder about the page.

    something has changed in the user agent for ie11
    ie10 looked like this:
    Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/6.0)
    ie11 looks like this:
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko
    notice the MSIE part is missing in ie11.
    some website browser sniffers may not recognize the new user agent string.

    They need to adjust their browser detection code for IE11...
