Christiiii - look at the video/audio out ports on your laptop and the same "in" ports on your TV. Then go to MonsterCable.com and look in their computer cable products. They have a great selection of computer-to-tv cables. (I use theirs, "iTV Link".) Your TV will see exactly what's on your computer and you still control everything from the computer. It's similar to hooking up any external device to your TV after you make the cable connection.

One note.. with volume and other controls on RealTV, they only work if that window is your active one.. in other words, right now I can use any hotkey I want and it won't work, but if I click on the RealTV window, then I can use the hotkeys.

I'm having an issue getting screen caps using irfanview with realtv. I can usually cap the multifeed, but get the black box when I try to cap a single cam. (Not that I'll be watching a single cam often...) Just curious if someone might have a suggestion for me to try? Thanks!

Christiiii - look at all your ports and then go to your Mac's help - type in something like "ports" and you will get a bunch of topics. There will be a topic you can click on that will show you pics of the ports (my help page is called "Identifying video output ports"). You can also check your "specs" of your particular computer model at Apple.com. The User Guide that came with your computer will also show the info. Carry on, everyone...

when I look at monster cable, it shows an S video cable and a cable using an RCA connection...the s vidoe cable looks like one end need to be hardwired, and they dont show a pic of the other end of the cable for the rca version...is this something I have to wire?? I have an apple g4 cube and a regular RCA stereo tv if that helps...

Christiii - no, you don't have to hardwire anything. But I don't know what ports come on the Cube. You could get your specs from your user guide or Apple.com, then write down your make/model TV, and then proceed to a store that sells cables - they should be able to help you buy the right ones. ETA: any store that sells this kind of stuff will do - you don't need Monster brand, I just mentioned it because I have them.

I've been running Real TV all weekend with no problems. Today I go to run multi clip 4 camera and it says: vol.gif is missing from the RealTV application directory. What does that mean?

Do a search of your computer to find the location of the vol.gif. Copy an paste it into the directory when realTV.exe resides on your computer.

That's what I see Fan3. I am so confused that I'm ready to scream. I watched the feeds on my laptop last year but it died last week. So now I'm using my husband's computer. I went to buy the super pass for this year and found out that I'm still good because I never cancelled it after last season. I didn't know that I had to! I had charged it to my husband's business credit card for some weird reason and he never noticed it. Oops! Anyway, I just get the starting July 6th.

They took away the inferno today ... and ever since I've been getting a temp. unavailable message. So you guys aren't doing anything wrong - some think it's because of the leak yesterday. To see the temp. unavailable message you need to use the raw feed links. HTH!

Thank you! I got the box saying that it's not available right now so I guess I'm all set to go. I still can't believe that my husband paid for this all winter and spring. Yikes!

Okay, I've been reading through a number of posts here and am still feeling a little technologically challenged at this point. I signed up for the Real 24/7 feeds tonight with the bb7early code. That went through fine. I entered all of the cam addresses a member posted in my favorites...so I guess I'm all set on there. Now I've been reading this thread about RealTV, which sounds interesting. I followed the link at the top of this thread..but nothing happened when I clicked to get the RealTV player on that page. I only get a blank white page. Any ideas on what I can do to set up and access the RealTV player. This is new to me...so any help is appreciated. I also saw something on Real about the BBreloader. They said that this feature will be available starting on July 6th and there is a one-time fee of $4.95 to use it. What is that like?? Had anyone used this??

Tried the RealTV download a few more times, but nothing still happens. I downloaded the other files they said you might need before downloading the RealTV and those downloaded for me just fine. Don't know what the problem is. Guess I'll just watch on my real player feeds like usual.

Kc103--I recently downloaded for a friend. I too did it a couple of times and thought it didn't work. A few questions--You did unzip the file right. Then when you click on the icon it asks you a question about where to put the file. I put everything on the desktop finally. And then I was able to see the RealTV icon.

I'm having a problem with my RealTV. When I click on one of the BB7 bookmarks...it automatically goes FULL SCREEN, and I can't escape out of it, or Ctrl-Alt-Del, or anything. I have to power off my computer, which is annoying. I tried assigning hotkeys to "original size" so that I could collapse it to a small window, but it isn't working. I notice when I power off my computer, the full screen goes away, and the Task Manager has been sitting behind it the whole time, but it's too late to do anything. No buttons work once it's in full screen. I am looking for an "Always on top" button that must be somewhere, which is causing it to go on top of everything else. The "always on top" option in the RealTV program does the same thing either way. And where is the full screen option? Why does it default to full screen for me? Can someone help?
