TV picture turns red and jumps around when trying to rec one of the 4 local channels and the play back is unwatchable. Vcr works fine on all the other Comcast channels and plays any other store bought tape or previously recorded tape. Ive tried everything the problem has to be the cable right?
Seriously? You are still using a VCR?

the first things i would try is updating your video card drivers and install the latest version of directx
SOURCE: cant get program to work
to eliminate the 20 seconds issue, uncheck the auto stop box...this was causing me problems and has been resolved since the box was unchecked.
SOURCE: lots of ads and movies dont play
Depending on what exactly isn't playing when is what I don't know from your info. So I can tell you two situations and two possible things to try. Generally I do not have any missing videos like you describe. Once in a while I do so hopefully we can nail this down.
The first description would be seeing the page fairly normally and then inside the video player area it might say not available or will be blank. The second is you might get a blurb of sound and images then no video but garbled sound.
In the first case that is usually an issue at the server side. I've just disconnected and then tried again. Sometimes it works right away and the odd time within a day or so. It will depend on what is really wrong. I usually always get this on new released programs.
The other is when it starts to play then stops but you get some sound continuing. This is a player or javascript error. You can try different browsers to view and see if that works. Sometimes one will have a different version or player plugin or update of javascript and will work. This one happens to me on quite annoyingly regular occurrence. I've tried different browsers which sometimes works, different computers and even different operating systems (windows, linux, mac) one right after the other. Strangely the one thing that works as well sometimes is a slower connection speed.
So basically expat itself should have zero to do with the problem but you may have issues with the player plugins, JavaScript, or even a firewall or pop up blocker and anti-advertisement plugins. From my experience with this the majority of the time is it a javascript error on the website. If you can connect to say youtube and watch videos without expat and while running expat then the problem is nothing to do with your end. Just have to keep on trying. to connect.

It is the signal from the 4 local stations that is the problem, because you can record all others ok. Borrow another VCR and try to record them, if its the same tell the people who run the local channels that they are losing viewing figures, because their channels cannot be recorded.
