From few days I have access to UPC’s www.horizon.tvexternal link platform - until now it was useless on Linux. But there is Pipelight that will use Wine to emulate Silverlight on Linux and it’s working pretty well - you’re just few commands away from achieving that:

# stop browser
killall firefox
# remove old version if you have it
sudo apt-get remove pipelight

Now configure repos and install packages:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends pipelight-multi
sudo pipelight-plugin --update

Enable plugin (run it with sudo for system wide installation):

pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight

Start Firefox and test if plugin is working here: http://bubblemark.com/silverlight2.htmlexternal link

Now enter www.horizon.tvexternal link and try it yourself.

P.S. It works only on Firefox because Chrome do not support NPAPI plugins anymoreexternal link 😃
