On the BB Reloader site they offer the BB Reloader for free (savings of 4.95) when you order SuperPass through their site. My quesiton: Does this mean you get the season SuperPass and the BB Reloader too for 29.99?

Received an email from BB Reloader. You will receive the same discounts and the Reloader if you order through BB Reloader's site.

Does anybody know how well Reloader works with 56k feed? I experimented with RM Recorder in the past and it worked well. Does this work as good? Unforunatly i can't get highspeed(except expensive sattelite) where i live. But have always been suprised how good the feeds look on 56k, but thats another story

I tried to post earlier and couldn't, but yes, Redhawk, the total price for both is $29.99. Good to know, because it appears I just may have to subscribe to Showtime for 3 months, lol. BB is getting expensive. Rgw825, I'm not sure how it works with 56k, but you could e-mail them and ask. They've always responded to tech questions for me in a timely manner via e-mail. Triz, don't the feeds start the 6th? I would assume that's why.

I'm hearing that the offer reloader is offering has not been authorized with real.. Everyone might want to wait a bit and see how this shakes out before spending your money.

In the past the feeds have always begun shortly (15 minutes or less) after the show has aired on the west coast or just after 9pm house / west coast time. I guessing BB Reloader wants to make sure all is working as expected before the release is turned loose and therefore we must wait till the 6th.

I used BBviewer which was good enough for me. Loved having all four feeds in separate windows with Separate sounds, BBreloader is supposed to be a more indepth program I think.

agreed, Kalekona, I'd be very leery of the bbreloader offer. I'd heard they were issued a cease and desist about the offer.

I got a response from BBReloader.com and will share it since it may help other people. "You definitely will be able to watch the feeds with the Reloader. You will be able to set the feed quality to 56K inside the Reloader just like you were setting it on Real Player. As for recording, the recorded video will look and sound exactly like what you saw when you were recording. Meaning, if the feed happens to crack up during your recording session, then it will crack up in the recorded video. The good thing for our dial up users is that many say the Reloader's feeds are better quality than the Real Player's 56 K streams. You should be good to go!"

I used BBReloader last year and loved it. But they have definitely been issued the cease and desist order in regards to this year's offer. I'll shell out the additional $4.95 again this year to have it. lol .. I never canceled my SuperPass last year so it the deal wouldn't be for me anyway.

Thanks for the info, guys. I used them last year as well and thought they were great. I didn't lose my feed like I did with Real Player. So if we go through them and not Real Player, will we not get Real Player AND BBreloader? I don't see what they are getting by offering this if they aren't charging anything. I guess I'll got through Real Player also and pay the $4.95 for BBreloader. It's well worth it.

They are giving you the reloader for 'free' because they get a hefty commision from Real if you sign up for the feeds through their site ;) Btw - I paid the $5 last year and used it a little - it was ok. With the explosion of youtube last year I pretty much stopped worrying about recording the video cause everyone else was.

Even if don't bother with recording its worth 4.95 not to worry about being timed out by Real especially at some crucial moment.

Does anyone know if we purchase the Superpass thru BB Reloader, are they still giving the Reloader at no charge or is it still $4.95? I wasn't clear about it thru their link.

I just went to bbreloader.com and that link for getting a free Reloader is no longer there. $4.95 doesn't seem like much for recording the feeds all season. I'm so psyched and impatient about getting the feeds and checking this program out i'm about to burst.

I got an email from bbreloader.com and checked it out today as well. Looks like it still costs 4.95 to me. Still deciding whether to just go with Real or get the reloader as well.

I'm definitely still going with both, because Real just goes out on me too much; whereas I didn't have that problem with the reloader. They wrote me an earlier e-mail and said it was easier to record this year, as I had problems with recording last year. I'm not that computer savvy. I haven't checked out the new features this year or the new way to record, but you are right, Ryn, if I don't record, anything important I missed will most likely be on You Tube. Tvwatcher, you are aware we have a certain someone on this board named Cliotheleo, right?? Heh, heh..she doesn't miss anything and is always nice enough to share it with us.

The fact that BB Reloader doesn’t time out like Real Player does still makes it well worth the 4.95 even if you don't record IMHO. Last year I would set timers within Reloader to record in blocks from 6 to 11pm and then another block from 11 to 4am house time. I then used Windows Movie Maker to edit out any flames and when the HGs were sleeping. Lastly I copied the edited files to CDs.
