We have been alerted to an upcoming change to Google Chrome that will require Chrome users to update their browser in order to continue watching video content on Digital Theatre Plus. Google is making changes to their Content Decryption Module (CDM) within their Widevine DRM system.

The required update was first made available on 25th October 2022. As long as your browser has been updated after this date, you shou...
