Rick,
For some strange reason, I can't get any of the channels to play when using
JAWS and that new player. In my experience, it only works with NVDA. On rare
occasions, it will work with JAWS. I do know what you mean about the search
box going away, but with JAWS, I would click on a channel and it won't even
play. Therefore, I prefer the classic player.
