"Mooshy" LOL. Even the words and such are really, really pixellated for me. And at 133%, which is how I used to watch last year, it's ugly. I won't panic until 9:01 pm on Thursday, though :-)

the sound on mine used to be extremely choppy, but now its not choppy at all - interesting. Of course I could only stand to listen to it for about 15 seconds *lol*

Hi Clio! I just tried what you said, and it said I was set at 512 but could be at 10Mbps. But after the change, still looks the same...maybe even a little worse. And I closed and reopened twice. Ugh.

Just to compare with Snack's, here's mine at 150%. Gross, huh?

Nancy ........ as soon as the Aussie's finish the try-outs for this week's cheerleading task I'll fire my feeds up and see what they look like.

Bastable...I must confess I do not know what that means (150? 300?) I am using the URLs posted in the Raw Feeds folder...

Nancy, when I use realplayer quad cam, my quality at 150% on 350kbps is as poor as yours. Try downloading the realtv and using the multicam at 150 2x the original size, quality is much better :-)

or if you can handle it.. the multicam at 350, 2x the original

Ooh, yeah, that's what I meant. 350. You're at the high speed version. I've heard rumors that the low-speed version is better...

Thanks Snack! I think that was discussed in the folder that had the feed links. I'll go check. I guess my old system (purchased in 1999) had been tweaked enough to be of decent quality. This new baby needs to be fine tuned, I guess!

ETA - and Thanks Bastable! I think I remember that if you change the 350 to 150 in the URL, that is how you get to the low speed. I'll play and see what happends :-)

If I replace the "350" in the raw stream links with "150" and reload, I get smooth sound. (meaning I'm using new feed links)

That confirms the rumor that the low-speed version is better. Hmmm...

Lordy, I hope they don't have the theme song running during FOTH all year this year! They had those lovely bubbles before, and the chickens in S1.

Can't they take some audio from a crackling log so that every time Alison starts yammering about one of the producers we're not sent diving across the room for our volume knobs?

Bonza, is there anything besides 150 and 300. The sound is better using 150. I have had choppy sound all along. But the picture it not better.

Anyone else having the problem I'm having? I was checking out each camera-wanted to make sure they were ready to go! Camera 1, camera 3, and the quad are all performing great. I don't have any sound on cameras 2 and 4. While I think it's a wonderful lapse for now (it't already driving me crazy!, I won't be too happy if I don't get it fixed by Thursday.I don't think it's a setting on my computer or I wouldn't have sound on any cam? Right? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Nancy, I'm noticing a difference between the quad cam and cam 1, do you? I see the pic you posted above is of the quad cam. Quad cam is a bit pixelated but cam 1 is fine.

OK! Loaded RealTV and the playlist, and here is the 2x size Multicam. I do see I will need to learn audio management when I use it, but, wow - what a difference in quality! Thanks so much you guys!!!

Mama - if there are other links they are for lesser bandwidth, like dial-up.

I would hope that Real is not fully cranked yet, as a number of us with high-speed connections and powerful computers should not be having these problems. I will worry if it continues this way on Thursday night, but am going to try to let it be until then.

I think you are right. I need to relax and wait for Thursday. Thanks Bonza! I am fine and then I look at the feeds (yes I have them on really small in a corner of the screen on mute Ha) and something changes and I get all excited. Like now the Big Brother All-Stars in the middle of the screen is gone. I just know they are in that house and we can't see them. I read in another thread that Julie Chen was not on the Early Show today. So they taped either today or tomorrow. I remember last year we saw them through the fish tank at night. On July 3rd. OK enough rambling. Decaf diet coke from now on. LOL

there's always the hope that one of the crew that runs it will feel mercy on us and "slip" and give us something exciting to see if only for a few seconds lol

For some reason, I seem to remember really crappy feeds last year (or some year) before the show that ironed themselves out, more or less, by game time.

Then again, the clarity of that RealTV stuff is pretty envy-inspiring.

Ok I'm confused. My feeds do not have the large BB7 logo in the middle of the screen like in the screen caps above, only a little one in the bottom right corner. What gives? Sorry if this is a stupid question....live feed newbie here! LOL
