Does BT Sport work for anyone?

I was looking to see how I could watch UFC and discovered to my delight that BT Sport have the rights and that as a BT Broadband customer I can watch the streaming video on the site for free. 

However I have since discovered that it doesn't work on: OSX Lion, XP, or Win 7 using IE, FF Chrome or Safari even though all have the latest Silverlight and I'm on BT Infinity. 

A search on the internet suggests it doesn't seem to work for most people.

It does work on my phone, but I'm not going to watch two and a half hours of UFC on a phone.

Has anyone actually got it working and how?

Worked fine on my iPad.

Yeah it works on my wifes Nexus 7 and my HTC One, but they aren't really ideal for watching a sporting event that can be up to 3 hours long!

I'd say they were perfect. You don't need to wait for the ad breaks when you feel "uncomfortable".

I have BT Sport on Virgin (& Virgin cable interwebs)- it works ok although I have to record 2 hours longer as they fuck up the listings.

I don't think I get access to the app stuff though.

I got it working on Win 7 with Chrome

I can watch it in my Mac with Safari, on my iphone and my iPad too.
