I have shared the feeds for 2 years.With us living in different states and watching at the same time. Never a problem. This year I will not have them as the sound is gone on this PC and my laptop died. I will miss them so much.

Just remembered another fav moment....When Chiara was sitting on the hammock and speaking in "snap snap" code about her affair with a married man and the internet had it figured out in, what? five minutes? LOL

At this point I would be excited to watch reruns of the live feeds. Maybe a little from each season to get ready for the vote. Sort of a refresher.

That's a great idea about sharing an account! Never thought of that! My "little trick" through the years has been to have about everyone in the family with a bank card sign up for the 2-wk free trial and then cancel (have to remember to do it before the 14th day!) and then I'd maybe pay for one month of it and one year, they kept extending the memberships (never mentioned BB as a reason!!) when I'd cancel so I didn't pay at all. But I "paid up" on that after season 5 when I couldn't get through to cancel it and then kept forgetting and it was on my DDs account until the following July! The worst part was, as long as I was signed in on her name from the previous year set up, I could watch on my computer. Then when I canceled hers and signed up, something had gone wrong w/my computer and I could never get a "sign in" screen! I tried EVERYTHING! Finally, my DD let me bring hers down here to use until she went back to college and I could watch the feeds until she went back. I missed the last few weeks because of that so I really depended on the LFPs and the bits people would post (thank you!!!) for us to watch. When my DD went back to college we could use the Real Player Plus either place with no problem. I'll probably get the feeds this year but DH is complaining about even having the internet because of expenses (he doesn't use it of course!) so I guess I'll really be hiding my watching of the feeds! Thing is, last year he'd see an occasional ad for the show and would think it was something like $30/mo to watch them instead of a season pass. Oh well.. it's my summer entertainment and I deserve it. Heh heh

Heck yea... I have been watching them since the show started. Cant wait for it to start.... Although, I think BB blacks out the feeds more than than they really need to.... its not like we cant figure out what happened most time from the HG's letting it slip.

Oh, I forgot to mention above that besides different bank cards, there has to be different email addresses.

East - I agree about the blacking out being a pain. But the funny thing is we still figured it out (like when we saw April evicted - it was April wasn't it?). The thing is we are still a minority - the majority of the people out there honestly have no clue who will be evicted on any given night - I am still amazed every year to discuss the show with people and they don't even realize all the 'spoiler' stuff is out on the net.

for all those who are getting the live feeds, thank you so much. even though it will be allstars, its still so much fun to 'watch" on here. i do it at work all the time, just to keep up. but i appreciate you all getting the feeds and sharing the wealth. also, hope drew gets back on. my daughter goes to miami now (i went there also). so it will be really fun for us to watch drew and his miami apparel (do you believe the miami website mentioned his taste in clothing also?).

I have three computers in the house and have had real on all of them, plus when my daughter would go off to school she would also use my account and i had a friend use it last year as well. I'm looking forward to this year because i have my laptop and wireless so i can lay in bed and still not miss anything Oh let us not forget when naming fav. moments season 1 and curtis and his trinitron dance!!

Oh yes, I'll be getting the live feeds! The tv show, IMHO sucks, the feeds make BB for me! Every summer, I take my Real with me wherever I go. I have a private office at work so I have it on there as well as my home computer. When I go on vacation, I watch it on a laptop in hotel rooms and at friend's and relative's homes where I just download Real if they don't have it. (Mind you my viewing is severely curtailed in these settings, lol.) Last summer I watched on a laptop in a hotel in Costa Rica. I don't think IP matters at all!

yep, I'll be getting the live-feeds. I watch bb1 when the feeds were free. When bb2 came out I refused to get the feeds since they were now charging. I regretted it. So BB3,4,5 and 6 I got the feeds and will do so with 7. It is what makes big brother, not the tv show.

Hi Everyone! Yeah I will probably get the feeds but I kinda like to wait and see. When things get bumpy in the house I'll sign up. Until then I will rely on the live feed narrations here on the board. I am poor and have to watch my pennies. I could get a better job but then I wouldn't have time for BB.

I am poor and have to watch my pennies. hey Kimsue, maybe someone here online will be able to share with you? Maybe ask as the Start Date gets closer, nothing to lose if just asking. I'd offer but my family out of town and I will be sharing feeds this year.

Yes. Get them every year and get obsessive. And every year I say I won't get them again. But, come the next summer, I have to get them again! LOL

I've gotten the feeds every year, and I'm getting them again these year. But I'm apparently a "Real" idiot, because I didn't know about putting it on more than one computer or sharing the password. So can someone explain to me how you put it on more than one computer -- I mean, are there different passwords or is it just like sharing your password? Is there some kind of option Real gives you when you sign up? I'm confused. And I think I'd be willing to share my password with someone here, because I don't know anyone else (in real life) who watches BB. But I'm a little hesitant ... is there any way for someone else to screw up my account? Like can they order extra stuff on Real and then I'd get a big bill? I think I'd need some answers before I'd share my password. Anyone know the answers?

I havent decided yet....I got them last year, but I'm on the East Coast and the only time I can really watch them is in the AM (my time) and they were all still sleeping...when all the good stuff happened, I was sleeping! Although, I have a feeling I won't be able to resist and will wind up getting them!

I got them last year, but won't this year because I had such a hard time getting it cut off at the end. I had to ask 3 times, paid an additional 3 or 4 months, and finally had to get really pissy with the dude (in India, I think) even though it wasn't his fault. Has anyone else had this trouble?

This year I'll do the free trial first, to see who is in the game. Then decide if it's worth it. The last 3years(bb4-5-6)imo wasn't worth it. Although, I was ok with Jun, Drew, and Maggie winning. Heck, I couldn't even watch the first half of 5 because of the Jase and Holly show. Soooooooo, as of now, it's iffy.

Last year if I recall correctly the season pass was listed for $29.95. However, someone on this board noticed that by entering a code during the sign up process you would receive a $5 discount reducing the price to $24.95. When the season is over be sure to call and cancel. When I called to cancel Real gave me an additional 30 days free with no obligation so I could consider whether I wanted to continue with their service. I didn't as I have another life when BB is over. LOL Of course I will get the feeds and I have every year since BB2.

Someone had suggested last year that to keep Real from continuing to charge your bank card when the season was over all you had to do was edit your account and change the expiration date on your back card.

Slinky, I had that problem too. I would call, cancel, get verification of the cancellation, then like clockwork would get charged again the next month. It happened for six months after BB ended last year. You can't get your money back either, no matter what you do. I was just going to use a new card this year then turn the card OFF after the season so they couldn't charge me extra. However, I don't know if RP will work on my new iBook. I have to check on this...
