Why I can't watch live mobile tv from internet explorer or online video players?

[WPCentral Question]

I saw that one who have Android phone easily can watch live Mobile tv from sim operator's official site. But when I get there in my Lumia 520 (windows 8.1) it asks for searching app and when I press yes button it finished with showing " Sorry,no apps found". I thought as solution online video players could do that but got no result .

The site you visited uses flash player, which is not supported.

Adobe (the company that makes flash) has cut support for flash logn ago. This is not just windows phone also android. However third party apps are there in android enabling flash, but they are basically a security risk as flash requires constant updates to be secure.

Flash for video streaming is old tech, and currently can be replaced with HTML5, but many sites still adhere to flash standards. The only way you can watch that video is most likely downloading it on a PC and stream it to your phone.
