White screen when playing show on W Network (a channel on Global) but commercials play fine.

I live in Delta, BC Canada. I was trying to watch Days of Our Lives on W network and lately when I watch the commercials they play fine, but when it goes back to the actual show...the screen goes white...I can hear the voices of the actors and the closed caption plays fine but the picture is like they are all in a snow storm. Total white out. When it goes to commercial...they play absolutely fine...both picture and sound. Any help appreciated.
