i've tried them on 3 different browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera) and 3 different OSs (2K, XP, PuppyLinux). anyone else having trouble with that site? on Opera the videos do play (in the other browsers they dont!), but the playback is extremely choppy with CPU going to the roof.

Hulu, YouTube and TVShack play nicely in all my browsers! is there any trick to get CBS videos to play properly? i wanna watch some Star Trek. :)

Do you have any ad-blocking going on with your router or security software? If you do, it does block videos.

like i said, it plays on Opera. that rules out security software. it does not play on IE, that rules out AdBlock Plus. there must be a way to get those videos to play on Firefox....

fortunately, CBS added all their Star Trek episodes to YouTube. so, in a way, things are better. still makes me wonder, though. if anyone knows a solution, i'm still interested.
