Haven't decided yet, I'll wait until after I know who's in the house. Or I might sign up for the 14 day trial, but more likely just wait until they are in the house and see who's there.

Cathie - I have used satellite internet in the past (and wireless at that, which can slow the connection down I hear), and it was AWESOME! The only time I ever had problems was when there were so many viewers bogging down the feeds and everyone was complaining about the speed and choppiness. Our satellite (and so I'm assuming all satellites) was a TON faster than any DSL or cable connection I've ever seen. It was faster than a T1 connection. *sigh* I want that back, and now I'm stuck on cable *double sigh*. Believe me, you'll have no issues, unless your CPU is not that great.

Thanks, Snackpackid, that is incouraging! My CPU is less than a year old, very speedy, so it should be good then!

Kimsue have you compared dsl with what you pay for dial-up? The prices are pretty comparable. And am I wrong or don't most cable and dish packages offer ways to lock out any channel you want? But truthfully (as I'm proving with my current TV situation sigh) I can live with less TV but definately not on dial-up. I'd consider looking in to it, because you are missing out on such a big part of this show. You should get your fun too I think!!

okay...I just signed up for the feeds...but wanted to check something with you guys... I saw that some of you were getting screens of fire or some even saw them messing around with their macs... but when I click on my Big brother Superpass Icom it brings me to the real home page and when I click on big brother the Live feeds say come back soon The Big Brother 7 live feed starts July 6th...am I on the right track? Did your screen caps come from the RealTV which I haven't gotten to yet?

No, I do not think that I will get the live feeds this year cuz I would waste my money if I don't have time to watch it for hours, my life really moves on and my pretty butt won't sit last too long. I did quit after BB5. I think I might will watch the free 14 days trial for fun only. LOL!! I really, really look forward to enjoy reading the famous TVCH BB transcripts and awesome screencaps for my limited time. Whooo!!!! It's my BB toy!! You rock! Lanzee \lm/}

Is anyone else trying to check out the rest of the features that Super Pass has to offer? Imagine my excitement after I saw the Nasa channel was an option. I just got through watching Houston doing the evening briefing with the astronauts who were just launched up today, along with pictures of space from the shuttle. Interesting!

I can't decide. I used to be home more to watch it, but now I think it would be a waste. I have not had the feeds in 2 or 3 years.

I just cant see myself spending money to watch Jase, Will and Mike Boogie in a love fest for weeks on end. I am not even sure if I am watching the show this summer, I will watch tonight and then see.

Do it Ginger. This is your last chance to get the DEAL. And it's ALL-STARS, so you can justify it to your other selves. There are definitely going to be a few "events" that you'll want to watch, which will make the 30 bucks over 3 months totally worth it. Think about it...Cappy rant: I would have gladly paid 5 or 10 bucks there alone. Then the endurance night....another 5. Then....well, you get my point. It ill be worth it this year.

Good point, Pamy. This is a quandary. My body is ready for streaming 24/7 Danielle. Just thinking about it now makes my lower extremities tingle, then stiffen. This is so difficult.

Hold on there Woody. From the little bit we heard, Ms. Dani may just be playing herself out of the house.

That's just silly talk, Mamapors. She would never let her family or ME down so quickly. At least not before I've had a chance to get an updated background for my monitor of her in a yellow bathing suit. Ha!

Cathie - just wanted to comment on your satellite question. I have used Starband for several years as our satellite internet service out here in the country of south Georgia and the only problem I've had is that the chat area on realplayer during the live BB feeds doesn't work very well. The past 2 seasons, I couldn't get it to work at all! When you call RealPlayer, you talk to people in India, or other countries and they don't have a clue what you're talking about so you have to ask for "Level 2" tech. This at least brings you to the English-speaking folks, but they still couldn't figure out why Starband and realplayer don't get along. Anybody else have this problem in the past?? I am crossing my fingers that it works this year, but will see tonight I guess. I'm sure it's just a setting somewhere but can't find anybody who knows what to do?? Help!!!!

PIP I had the same problem last year and just opened two windows within real. One was the feed and one was the chat. It kind of drove me nuts, but it worked. I just canceled my satalite internet connection a week ago. I Hated it. I understand, if you have no other choice. I do have choices and satalite was stupidest choice I had ever made.

I had myself convinced I wasn't going to do it again but I woke up so excited that it was BB day that I just signed up with the coupon (p.s. thanks) so I'll be able to help with live feeds a little again this year. Hi everyone.

LANNE - do you remember how you did that with real? All I have is just the screen with the 1-4 camera shots. I don't get the screen with the chat area to even come up at all. Is there somewhere to go to bring up the chat area? Thanks!

Ummmmmm probably a stupid question but.... I ordered the feeds today and I finally found the camera links but all I see is a test pattern type of screens and a buzz like offline tv. Is this what I should be seeing at this point? I noticed other people mentioned flames. I have no flames should I? I just want to make sure I got it set up right when the darn thing turns on. thanks

yes, you're doing fine! We had the flames until they screwed up and gave us the audio by accident so I think we're getting the test pattern now because they are being extra precautios.
