Foolish choice IMHO...you would think CBS would be smart enough to want to encourage everyone to get the feeds. What makes people do something? When they feel they are missing out on something others have they will RUN to get it.

Plus I would think most of the folks who bother watching Housecalls online have the feeds, although I've heard some call in in previous years and say they don't. But bet the majority does. So win/win situation to discuss feeds IMHO. Sad they aren't saavy enough to get this point!

I just watched Friday's House Calls SNOREFEST. Gretchen tried so hard to make us LOVE America's Player Eric and LOVE the whole America's Choice angle. I will reserve judgment on this new angle, but not because of Gretchen's over the top (annoying) encouragement.

I'd like a host that didn't act so oblivious. Perhaps a past contestant should start their own house calls type of podcast. Janelle, Dr. Will?? Are you reading this???

Hurry and get a guest host with her CBS!!!

Too bad The Fishbowl is no more. It would have been great to have Janelle and Dr Will cohost it this season. Maybe someone will get Janelle or James (I kinda doubt Dr Will would actually do it) to host a pod cast. Heck, even a show on TV Guide channel. HC is really boring since they can only discuss the show, and since it's just Gretchen. It would be great to have something discuss current events from the live feeds...heck, have the quad cam on in the background.

I just finished Friday's House Calls, Gretchen was so annoying. I didn't enjoy her false, animated voice. (I call it too happy) She needs a co-host to tone her down.

Can anybody else get House Calls to work for them today????

It's not letting me choose Media Player as my player. It doesn't load in Real Player saying I need updates to play. When Real checks for updates, it says there are no updates.

I've tried in IE7, Firefox, and Opera. No luck with any of them.

Argh I should have checked here sooner. I thought it was just my puter and it was about to take a fast trip out the window. Needless to say nothing is loading for me and I am getting that same Real updates message!

I've tried both IE and Firefox and neither one work. They have definitely screwed something up! Not a good way to start the season.

It wants the latest version of Windows Media Player. I'm not sure why it is trying to open up RealPlayer. Try this link http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother8/ maybe - it's working for me.

I had to d/l the media player 11. thought i had all the upgrades...now my mp has messed up everything.

If anyone is a computer guru, it doubled all of my CD's in the library and I am afraid if I delete one of them from library and computer I will have to reload all my cd's :-( Any suggestions?

House Calls' archived copy for yesterday is not working either. I did manage to write down the phone number for the show from the first broadcast: 323-CBS-1000 in case anyone wants to call in during the next show. I'm wondering if CBS knows there's a problem.

I tried too and get a bad link message for yesterday's show. I just sent cbs.com a message through their feedback form. Maybe if enough people do that, they will do something about it.

Gretchen did say she would have another guest host today but didn't say who it would be.

I wish they either bring back marci or someone who actually watches the feeds. Gretchen only watches the live shows thats it.
