I had this problem with tsn.ca with videos where I would get audio but a black screen (ie. no video) even though a bunch of other sites worked fine that also used flash. I found a solution that fixed it so I thought I'd post it here in case anyone else has a similar problem with tsn.ca or some other site. I think someone else also had this problem too.

My solution: Open up Windows Media Player. Select Tools->Option. Goto to the Performance tab and click the Advanced button. Under Video Acceleration, click the check box next to Use Overlays so that it is checked. This will automatically uncheck Use High Quality Mode option below it. Click OK till the end.
