The videos on the site have always worked but all of a sudden they stopped playing. I did some research and followed some other troubleshooting like clearing history/cache/cookies/. I also removed ad block and uninstalled and reinstalled flash. I don't use a vpn or anything like that either. The videos don't work on other browsers either like chrome and and safari. I didn't change or do anything to my computer. The videos were working one day and then the next they stopped. There is only a black screen when I hit the play button. I'm just trying to watch the normal videos on their website not anything that requires a cable provider

Currently running:

Mac 10.6.8 The most up to date Firefox, flash, and everything else I can think of.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!
