I have this problem when streaming video where it gets all blocky with weird colors, like in the pictures below. It doesn't happen all the time, and it happens much less than it used too. It doesn't really happen at all with Youtube or Vimeo, but with other things it sometimes does. I have MLB.TV, and whenever I turn it up to HD quality, it does this, which is really annoying. It still moves, you can vaguely make out the shapes of people, and the audio works fine. I have tried updating my graphics drivers, I've tried Chrome and IE, and I can't get it to stop. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

If this is happening with that site only, you should contact their customer service department.

No, it happens with other things too, but this is the one that affects me the most as I use it quite often.

You said it doesn't occur on Youtube or Vimeo. Where else does it occur?

Well I have to take that back. It happened with an embedded Youtube player just today, on the 360p setting. When I changed it to 240p, it worked fine. It has also happened to me with other streaming players that aren't Youtube or Vimeo. The thing that is weird is that sometimes I can stream HD video on Youtube with no problems at all!

Since for the most part this only happens at one site, I think you should contact them. You may have to adjust your settings on that site and they are the best ones to advise you.
