Ya'll don't forget you get your 10 free song downloads a month. I forgot last year and was only able to take advantage of it on the last month of BB. Apparently if you don't use your $10 each month, you lose it. You're also able to download one free full version of a game each month also, but I never did that. SunShyne4U mentioned that Canadians do not get this option, so I'm assuming this is only for US customers.

I just bought a new Mac laptop (former PC user)... does anyone else have the new iBook? I'm wondering if the RP feeds will work on this puppy. Some programs haven't been updated for the Intel processor yet and I don't want to get excited about the feeds if I'm not going to be able to get them. :-)

I have a question for those who have already signed up for feeds. Did you get the $29.99 price and if so, how did you do it? I signed up the other day, used the code, and when I got to the "confirm order" page it was the same as Ryn's screenshot (29.99 for three months), but when I hit "complete order" it said I'd be charged $39.99 for the three months. I cancelled today before my 3 day trial period because I want my sub to start in July, not now. So before I sign up again when the show starts, any help getting a lower rate would be appreciated! Thanks, Teri

Shel - I just got an Intel MacBook. The first think I did was launch RealPlayer to make sure it would run. It's fine! Priorities...

I'm wondering the same thing as Rainlvr. It said $29.99, but now it says $39.99.

Hey all. I hate to sound silly, but I'm in a small town that offers dial-up only in some areas. Does anyone else in a primitive land use dial-up instead of satellite, etc.,? If so, how well does dial-up work on the live feeds? I'm assuming that it would lag too much to enjoy. To answer any possible questions, Yes we do have indoor privy's. They're called chamber pots. lol

Castle, I wish I could help, but I haven't had the feeds on dial up for awhile. When I did, they worked alright, but were pretty slow. You could do the free trial and determine if it would be worth your while. And if not, we do live feed transcripts here, with a fair number of screen caps too.

Some areas that have dial up internet service (rural or whatever) are starting to get wireless internet towers. You may want to check around and see what is available because as long as you are a few miles within a tower, you can get really good throughput. Trying to view the feeds over dial up will be a horrible experience.

Castle, I had dialup until last year. It was kind of like watching a slide show with occ'l movements in real time. Mostly it was like watching a Slide show...but you get adequate sound and can see/hear everything as it happens. The GOOD thing is that some people here at TVCH doing Video captures. It is really great to be able to download the CLIPS to watch interactions go down in real time when you are used to Dial up. When the feeds come up there will be a thread here which will tell you the best speed to use. There will be a TECH help thread set up as well so questions can be asked.

Thanks for your feedback everyone. I'll check it out. I probably don't miss too much from the show because I read everything here all the time so I don't miss anything. It's an obsession!! But this year I am not working due to medical stuff going on, and would love to watch them, but I'll probably do the free trial deal and see how it goes. Thanks again.

I had dial up the first year I had the feeds. It was, as someone above explained, sort of like watching a slide show. I thought the picture quality was terrible and it was actually more frustrating HOPING I'd be able to see things as they unfolded. Having the audio (which was not smooth flowing either) was no better. I knew that I wouldn't sign up again until I had DSL. Like you said, Castle, you can get the free trial and see if you like it enough to pay for it.

When you reg for real player there is a coupon code for 10.00 off. Instead of 39.99 it would be 29.99 for three months of bb. coupon code is bbearly

Poker, In trying to keep the number of threads down to a manageable level, we will often combine threads that are discussing the same thing.

Did you get a confirmation saying you'll only be charged 29.99? Because I used that exact coupon code and once I ordered, the price changed to 39.99 and when I went into My Account, it said that I would be charged 39.99 on 6/22. The only time it said 29.99 was right before I completed the order.

Rain, same thing happened to me. I cancelled my subscription and I'm going to wait until right before the first show, cause if they charge us on the 22nd of June, we'll have to pay for an extra month, just to get the last week of BB7. I'm hoping the coupon works then. Good luck.

That's why I cancelled mine, too, Nana. I'm just going to do what you're doing and hope it works in July. Good luck to you too!

Thanks Indy. But will your 3 month script run out before BB7 is over? That is my concern. I don't want to have to pay for an extra month just to get the last week or 2 of BB7. Thanks. Oh and BTW, If you're from Indy, we're neighbors, I'm from Illinois, but only an hour from Indy, lol.

I'm confused. Which is the correct coupon code to get the $10 discount? bbearly or BB7early? Thanks.

Now I'm really confused, Indy, because I called them and they told ME that 39.99 was the charge! I swear the people working there don't know what's going on half the time.

I bought the feeds last week and they said that because I was getting the BB special that my feeds would NOT run out before the show. ETA - I also used the coupon and got it for 29.99
