Silverlight for Surface RT?
Hi,
new member here. Drawn to this forum by Phases' uTube videos (great Vids btw, thx)
apologies if this has been asked before. Did a quick search on the internet but didn't come up with much.
Have just bought the HD digital AV adaptor for my (well my wife's) S-RT. Am keen to stream lovefilm through the device to the TV but found out that it doesn't have Silverlight on the device and no way to download it. so no lovefilm 
Does anyone have any idea if MS will create an RT version? I can live without it for now but would love to be able to stream from this site at some point.
thanks
HR

Hi Hans, welcome to the forums!
The unfortunate thing about Silverlight is that Microsoft seems to be phasing it out in favor of HTML5. The only application that I can think of that still actively uses Silverlight aside from what you've mentioned is Netflix and they're looking for ways to incorporate non-Microsoft DRM for their streams so that Netflix will be available to linux users.

Thanks for the reply Ashley. Shame silverlight won't be supported. I've got my fingers crossed that lovefilm create an app to watch their shows like Netflix have. Otherwise, I think I may have to change my subscription!
