    So the other day i missed a show on TV and decided to see it today, on my playbook's browser. About 10 minutes to the video, the video just stopped. I refreshed the page for about 15-20 times hoping it will work, but nada....

    The video always FAIL after some 30-45 seconds ad before the show even start. It's probably the ads that keeps the video from working properly on the Playbook's Browser.

    BTW, I was watching it at CWTV.com and they have their own app (iphone,ipad, and recently Android). I'm sure if the app was available for the Playbook, this *bull^$$^* wouldn't happen.


    In addition, can someone try to convert the CWTV APP for Android to .bar file for the Playbook ?

    Thanks,

    Cool. Sounds like you need an ipad then. The playbook doesnt seem to suit your needs.

    I've watched 4 seasons of tv and dozen movies on mine. No problems. Maybe it is the site

    This is why flash really isn't a good selling point - a lot of sites rely on mouseover to work properly.

    I have watched Supernatural at cwtv.com before and I have never had a problem. Could it be your wifi?

    Agreed I have had no issues myself. Also remember an app is a supper up shortcut and you should get the same quality from the site directly.

    PB needs to change for the world, not the world changing for the playbook. The world wouldn't even change for the ipad.

    HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THAT IT MIGHT BE THE SETTINGS, EG POP UP BLOCKER? Otherwise, just use another device if you need is so high.

    Cheer Up. There are worse things in the world.

    You should read the first chapter of Lemoney Snicket's 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' (available using the Kobo app).


    Now that is a bad day. Makes yours sound lame.

    Like a number of people here, I've never had any issues watching anything from my Playbook. It never ceases to amaze me that people seem to always 'blame' the Playbook for their problems rather than actually trying to figure out what the problem is first.

    I think the problem is with your internet and not with the PlayBook

    I guess that's been the norm on the forum these days.
