I was wondering if there will be any place online to watch the TV episodes? (besides Torrent - or whatever it's called) You think Youtube might? Not sure what their capacity is. My cable is down so I can't watch TV or access highspeed internet - and the earliest appt is next Thursday! I'm using my back-up right now which is dial-up, and I only have a limited amount of free minutes. This REALLY sucks!!!
hoping it manages to come back soon - or at least tomorrow.

CBS has said in a press release that episodes will be available online at their site the following day and will be archived.

Plus depending on the quality CBS puts up, they are ALWAYS up as torrents, usually quite soon after it airs, with the commercials removed and likely in high def! Once my VCR screwed up and I only got the first 2 min of Survivor. I then learned I could get awesome quality within a few hours! So you will be all set Luv. So why did you say besides Torrents? In general or just cause your high speed is down? Also if your cable is down have you tried calling them to see if they can give you a FREE dial up #? When I travel or once when I had DSL problems, you just call them, they give you a number and you get unlimited dial up. Well gotta fly was running early then I checked the board now I'm not lol.

Jase..did I say I didn't like Jase??? Changed my mind...Mike Boogie is awful! Can't like him at all. He's gunning for Kaysar and he actually thinks he's all that. Mike..Pot meet Kettle. You act extremely arrogant and have no personality. LOVE Howie, LOVE, LOVE Danielle and her DR sessions already and I Love Will, not his sidekick, but him catching the meteor was hysterical. Jase was clever pushing it on Marc..hee, hee...making him look foolish again. The others didn't think of that. If Marc had won though, would it have been easier? I don't know, because he would probably insist on Danielle going up. I agree Seamonkey, that BB6 people shouldn't act too comfortable in the house in front of the others. When James said "You're our guests" it reminded me of the cocky acting guy on RW/RR Fresh Meat. He insisted on his RW people all having the same bedroom and boom they were immediatly disliked and put up for Exile.

I couldn't be home last night and the Thunderstorms in the area caused the power failure and messed up my vcr. And since Raen's still away and perhaps people thought the tv show won't be as interesting as the LF, the show spoiler thread was very spotty... I thought, no big deal, I'll just go take advantage of of CBS' Innertube. But, maybe I am too stupid to figure it out, I can only get the first part of the show to play. It's about 13, 14 min. of the beginning of the show only. When that segment was done, everything went still on the screen. I tried waiting it out, waiting for reconnections or loading or whatever. But it was a long time for nothing to happen. When I clicked on stuff on that screen, it just played me the 14 min. of the 7/23 show! I did this many times last night/this morning, watched the first 1/4 of every show w/o figuring out how I could get to see the rest 3/4 of ANY!! When I dug up this thread finally and in the middle of posting for help, the power went off again! I took it as a sign and went to bed at 2am. If anyone around here knows the secret of how to watch the rest of the show on CBS Innertube, after you have enough fun laughing at my foolishness--since I'm sure it's something simple and strait forward--- would you please please please post the answer for me? Thank you in advance!

Chy, the easiest thing to do is when the video starts to play in innertube, right click on the area of the screen the video is playing and choose "Play in Real Player" and just get yourself totally out of innertube.

Naja, Thanks for answering! But you see, I didn't even tell you the whole trouble I had with the site. I had chosen "Play in Real Player" at the first place. But a little box kept popping up and say there was corruption mumble jumble. I watched six commercial after clicking away boxes each time until I'd Xed out and chose to use Window to watch it. (No commercial at all!) Picture and sound were both great on all commercials as well as the first segment of each show I saw. By now I've seen the POV comp and Cer. on Youtub already. But I still would like to know how to function over there. There is no way you could ask for help at that site. The FAQ area has fufu questions only. I just want what I was promised. Thanks in advance if anyone else care to solve this mystery for me!

Then going into the innertube settings and change your viewing preference to WMP instead of Real Player. Here is a picture where to click with an arrow pointing at it. It's to the bottom right of the viewing screen in innertube. Innertube works more smoothly to me with it set to wmp instead of real player.

You can't get Survivor or BB in high def because it isn't filmed in high def. I've tried to watch it on my high def TV and it isn't in high def quality.

Naja, I guess I did not say it clear enough,;-D When I first got there, I clicked Real Player but it gave me the box of "corruption" and only played a bunch of commercials. Then, using the exact button shown in your post, I changed it to WMP and was only able to get 14 min. segment of each show. I am here to find out how I could see the WHOLE show. -- Not just the opening bit. (They have a display saying the show is 42 min.+ but the segment stopped after 13-14 min. I am trying to learn how to see the rest of the show.) I only talked about RP because you-Naja suggested to go to RP. Bastable, the principle is, if CBS offers innertube for past epids absolutely free(their words), it should be possible for a person with the right equipment to see it.

Not sure how to help Chy. When I play it, it automatically goes into the next segment without me having to do anything. There is a small commercial between each segment, but it goes along automatically without sticking, no matter which way I choose to view it.

Thank you Teisha! SO it's not just me...... I told about the six consecutive commercials I had to endure when I chose Real Player at first. Nothing else but Commercial clips! (Teisha, I'm not fit to give advice, but try the Windows Media Player next and you might at least be able to see 13 mins of it, hehehe...) Thanks for your helping heart anyways, Naja! Hopefully someone else might have the way or I'll start to write CBS about it.....

When I tried to watch last nights episode on Innertube and the icon shows about 40 minutes but the video is only 11 minutes long. What's up with that?

May I ask, Kati, what did you use? RP or WM? What the H&ll? We are all having different experience with one site? Wrong is CBS!!

I too can only get the first segment to play and there is nothing about it under the FAQ on the Innertube site and no one to contact.

I have also had these problems. With Window Media.. I also only get first part of show . With Real Player.. also got the error box about Url and would only load commercials. This happened to me last week .. so waited a few days, then loaded just fine on Real player. So last night, hubby thought was recording BB while I was at work.. he had channel on abc instead of cbs, I get home at 5:am from work and relized it wasnt recorded, so went to cbs.. again same problems.Even tried watching a episode I had allready viewed on RP still got error message. So I gave it a day.. and I just now finished watching the show at CBS on real player no problem. Hope it works for you now. After reading here how great of a episode it was it was killing me not being able to see it. Also regarding Windows Media only playing first clip.. I took WM off my computer a while back So I am guesiing that is why didnt load all the clips, my next step if RP didnt work after a few days.. was reloading WM if I had to.

Chy - I used the CBS InnerTube. I tried to switch over to realplayer as someone suggested and it went haywire on me. It did take me trying twice to get it to load up and play. What browser are you using? I tried both IE and Firefox.
