I subscribed to the CNBC plus streaming video service and ive been having problems that I was wondering if anyone else has or knew how to fix. I would also like to know what codec they use. The problem is when I go to watch videos i get a loading animation it buffers and when it starts to play there is just a black screen with audio playing. I do not have this problem anywhere else. Youtube and similar sites work fine. Video advertisements on the CNBC work fine. I have tryed the following: -download the latest versions of Internet explorer, Adobe flash, Windows media player -download all the codecs i can find -clear my temporary internet files cach -disable all antivirus; firewalls; security i can find -uninstall adobe flash then manually scan the registry for keys that are related to flash, delete them then reinstall flash -format my harddrive; reinstall windows xp media edition (or something) as oposed to xp home which i had before -download the latest video driver for my video card -screw with internet explorer options -yelling -using many different types and combinations of profanity including several new words modified from existing prophanity
when i try to use firefox i get: Internet Explorer 6 or later with Flash 8 or later is required to use the CNBC Plus video player.
An important think i forget to mention is that i have 2 room mates (we all share the internet), it works fine on both of their computers one has xp one has vista.
It is about 5 second delay compared to cable for the USA Session. I don't know about the Asia and the Europe Session.
