Help! Problem with online streaming
Help! When watching any online streamed tv show, after a commercial break I get a blank screen (black) but with sound. It happens both in fullscreen and 'browser' view. This is since the update on Jan 24th. I'm back to watching tv shows on my laptop.
Anyone else encounter this? I browsed the forums and didn't find related info.
My wife started adopting the BB and was using it on her own (the ultimate test in my opinion), but that all stopped as of Jan 24th.
Thanks,
Gary

It would be very helpful to know which shows this is happening on.

I can't get any from NBC.com to even start, let alone make it through to the first commercial. So I don't think it's the same thing at all?Originally Posted by gllewis

Ive had a very similar issue when using the SeeSaw service in the UK via BoxeeBox. The "problem" normally occurs when i press the "ok" button on the remote and try and swap between the mouse pointer and the on-screen menu (to change the volume for instance).
It doesnt happen everytime though, and i cant help but think its almost as if there is a "pop up" in front of the veiwing area? Im definatley clutching at straws with that theory and its not fact!

I had the same problem with South Park. However video has always come back once south park came back on. I've noticed now though that the adverts are showing video again, but now it's skipping further into the video when it's done (so basically I miss like half the episode). Tried this on my PC and my laptop and was getting the same issues.

If i watch video`s from spike.com (like http://www.spike.com/video/cinemassacre/3505732 ) on the BB, a commercialvideo plays in front of the video i`m watching.
it also happens on some other videosites like gametrailers.
