Video is sent over a different network port than pictures, which is why one
can be blocked while the other works. I doubt your router is what's causing
the problem, but it's pretty easy to verify this:
1) connect your MCX directly to your PC using a cross-over Ethernet cable;
if you don't have a cross-over cable, you can use a standard Ethernet cable
and toggle the MDI/MDIX switch on the back of your MCX (assuming you have
the MCX set top box)
2) try to watch TV
If that doesn't work, we can continue troubleshooting this on the PC.
