WMP10 barely playing MLB.TV MLB games: constant buffering

Hi,

I am trying to watch the videos of baseball games from the MLB.COM
site. However, they are unwatchable because of constant buffering. In
the statistics page of WMP10, it tells me that 350 is the connection
to be able to watch the stream. My network or internet connection is
1400 and that the content is currently being received at 350. Yet,
like I said, the streams are barely watchable because of the constant
buffering every two seconds or so!

My settings under Options of WMP10 are:

Network:

TCP and HTTP are checked. No proxies.

Performance: I have tried setting it to Autodetect, 768, and T1. My
current download speed prior to this post was 1350.

I have tried default buffering and buffering 5 seconds and other
speeds.

Is there something I can do to get this to work? I remember MLB
having me change something last year but the idiots there now have no
idea.
