Playback Issues across the board (Hulu, CBS etc.) via XBOX 360

I just started using PlayON to stream content from Hulu/CBS on to my TV via my XBOX 360 elite. However, I haven't been able to completely watch a single episode of any TV series completely. Here is what happens:

1) I enter Playon through my Video Library page on XBOX.
2) I select an episode of a TV Series.
3) I start playing.
4) After a certain time, the playback halts, I assume its a buffering issue and wait... indefinitely... to no avail.
5) I go back to xbox menu and click 'resume', blank screen appears, again, indefinitely.
6) I eventually, click 'restart'. The show restarts but I want to skip forward to where I left it, so I press the skip forward button on my media center remote.
7) The on-screen menu says its skipping forward but i'm met with the familiar 'blank screen of indefinite waiting'.

My Setup
-------
1) XBOX 360 Elite connected to NETGEAR router via ethernet cable.
2) Lenovo T61 Core 2 Duo processor running Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit) connected via Wifi to the same router.
3) Downloaded PlayON last Monday (10/26).

Let me know if I can try something to improve my experience.

Thanks,
NK
