Hi. I have a cable connection. I have a new computer with Vista. I am having issues with my Real Player and also with RealTV--same deal. Many times my screen stays black. I have sound but there is no picture. It started doing it with the RealTV so I switched back to the regular player and now it's doing it there as well.

Any help is appreciated!

And now after posting the above, my picture has come back! :-) I just wonder if I maybe have a setting wrong or something. I seem to be ok when I check it with what I've read, but maybe I've missed something.

I had the same problem with my new laptop..I went to , tools, preferences, hardware & under video card compatibility, slid it over to most reliable, closed Realplayer & restarted it & it worked fine. Good Luck!

OK.. of all nights, I have to have problems! when I try to watch, I get a pic and a few words and then black screen, then like the opening screen and it says "communicating" and goes up to 99% a couple of times and stops.. black screen again... a few odd noises and then (which scared me to death) a voice says my secure link has expired .... HELP!

go completely out of Realplayer....sign in on the sign in page for BigBrother...access the feeds from the SUperpass site.

however, do you have your realplayer set up for BB alrady? youve been watching already>? and it is just now that it is black>?

Indybarb, did you try what Aerojunki did above? Try closing it and going back in. It is on Vortex right now. We don't get to see the live feeds while the show is on. However, you shouldn't have a black screen.

Also, if all else fails, go to Preferences, Network Transports, and check Manually Configure and check Use Specific UDP Ports. If you have a PC, the numbers 7071-7071 should already be in the UDP Ports opening.

Click okay and see if that works.

Cricket... my fingers are crossed... have never been so happy to see the old quiz questions and hear the FOTH music. Well, rats... it appears to come and go for me... but good at this second so maybe it will be ok.. thanks again.

Can someone take a screen print of their equalizer who is not haveing problems with reverb please. Ever since I started watching BB on realplay (and having reverb) I am getting it on all my other stuff. Like when I am trying to watch BB Australia on media player. It is making me nuts.

Dipo it's on the first page of this thread.

Sorry you're still having problems, Skootz. I'd try calling Real in the meantime.

Going to toss this computer out the window soon, this is so frustrating. It was working early this morning then it told me to get the new url for the page from the site, I did that and all ths problems happened. I am so angry.

My laptop will show the show, however I cannot see what settings it has as when I hit anything under preferences I get an error where my saved files are going etc, holy crap, can this day get any worse.

don't know what a bbviewer is and I cannot get on keyhole to view (perhaps that is what you mean?)

On hold with bb right now....could be a while {sigh}

Bbviewer is just another program to watch the feeds (but it still uses RealPlayer). If the keyhole didn't work this probably wouldn't either.

Sorry for you.
