Summary: Channel 5 (UK) streaming disabled if ads blocked

Initial Comment:
Channel 5 in the UK (www.channel5.com) disallows the viewing of videos in its catch-up service if it finds itself unable to stream ads during them.  Adding .channel5.com to the { fragile } section of my user.action file results in an alternative error: the site reports that I'm unable to watch the videos from my present location (ie. out-with the UK) - even though I _am_ based on the UK mainland.
This behaviour does not affect other catch-up services such as www.4od.com (Channel 4), for example.
The only work-around I currently have is to switch off proxying completely in my System Preferences.
Tested in multiple versions of Google Chrome on OS X 10.6.8 on two different Macs.  Privoxy is currently broken on my server so I can't test this behaviour on other browsers atm.
