My experience was just the opposite.  Firefox 2.0 works and IE7 does not. 
Under IE7, I get a message telling me to download Windows Media player 
(which was already installed).  I downloaded the latest version from 
Microsoft, and it still tells me that I need the media player.
There does not seem to be any support on whooda.com, so I looked up the 
parent company at www.vdc.com.  It is a subscription service, but NASA TV 
is free and the viewer can be resized and moved around on the screen. 
Under IE7, I got audio at www.vdc.com, but no video.  Just for grins, I 
tried Firefox 2.0 and the site recognized my browser, asked to install an 
add-on to firefox, and it worked great!  I did not try www.whooda.com 
prior to installing the add-on.  BTW - The high definition video loop demo 
is impressive.  You need about 3Mbps to get the HD stream.
I watched ANDE, FCAL and RAFT deployment via the NASA TV Landing page. 
Sure wish I had known about these other sites.  The resolution is much 
better!  and... mentioning amateur satellites makes me feel better about 
responding to an off topic post. :-)

whooda.com does not appear to work under Firefox, so I suggest you open in
MS IE.

This page seems to have the highest resolution NASA feed on the web:

This is what I use.
