streaming real media problems

I'm trying to get my parents some foreign internet TV channel (www.mactv.com.tw) but Real Player keeps stopping around 3 minutes, saying the server has timed out. I have the server timeout wait set at 5 minutes, though, and the stream will even stop if there is a minute of video buffered ahead. I am using the 100K stream.

I went to this website: http://myspeed.visualware.com/
and got the following stats:

download speed: 2.46 Mbps
upload speed: 145 kbps
quality of service 84%
max pause: 185 ms

I am using SBC Yahoo DSL Pro in Kansas.

I have Real Player as an exception on the Windows Firewall, and I have tried enabling DMZ on the computer, but nothing seems to help. Any explanations or suggestions?
