Yeah, I'm thinking that the guy didn't have any idea what he was talking about, although he did put me on hold to talk to his "supervisor." I even told him that someone I knew had gotten the deal this morning, and he still wouldn't budge. Very aggravating. Maybe I'll try again before my 2 week free trial is over.

Is anyone else having problems signing into Real right now? I can't bring up any of the feeds in Realplayer. And when I go to Real.com I get the home page, but I get a server error when I try to check my account.

I called Real on Monday to request the annual pass for $69 and was told this was not available. They would only sell me the monthly or 3-month pass. I told them I'd think about it and hung up. Today, I went to Real.com and went into "live chat". There, I requested the annual pass for $69 and they gave it to me! I checked my account a couple minutes later and found that it was activated.

Also, regarding Showtime - my satellite provider offers a trial viewing of channels to their existing customers. Last time BB was on, I called and asked for a 3-month preview of Showtime and was given it for no cost. Today, I did the same, and they are giving it to me once again! It may be worth a try to anyone who is undecided if they actually want to pay for Showtime channels strictly to watch BB After Dark.

Thanks, Christiii, mine's back up now. I guess I'm just impatient this morning. :-)

Chandler, thanks for the info re live chat, that's good to know.

Jimmer, thanks for the link. I am ready for tonight, got the Real Player and BBViewer all set.
Its going to be neat this year knowing someone. Josh went to school with my son, and his sister went to school with my daughters.

If you're on the 14-day trial, do they charge you immediately when you switch to the yearly pass? I'm trying to hold off with the charge for the feeds until after my credit card cycles (Friday) and would prefer not to get a "surprise" $69 charge for this month's bill!

Oh that's really cool Nansco! Maybe you can give us some special insight into what he is like, on and off the show.

Justin:

Last Friday I signed up for SuperPass through BB Reloader. Then I found out about the yearly rate so I immediately called Customer service and upgraded. Real immediatlely charged my credit card. I also ended up paying for the BB Reloader as the Reloadeer freebie was only good for those who signed up before the 11th and only for the normal season of SuperPass, i.e., BB9.

Hrrm, thanks. Maybe I should sign up and try to switch after Friday. Hopefully it won't be too well known for them to kill it before then.

Some chatters have mentioned the rep they talked with was offering the year pass for $99.99 and would not budge off that amount. Good luck!

could someone give a quick comparison of BBViewer, RealTv and BB REloader, (and anything else I may have missed) and also where we go to get them once we have decided? Also, is there a reason to use more than one? I'm probably making this more complicated than it needs to be!
Thanks...

I asked the same basic thing pages ago.

SinceBB1 answered Friday, February 08, 2008 - 1:30 pm

Sun...I have used all three; BB Viewer, BB Reloader, and RealTV Player. If I remember right, you can't record on BB Viewer. RealTV Player was easier to record with, but BB Reloader promises (in their email to me) better recording this year etc. They say "Simply click the Record button and record any feed while you're watching it. You can also set the Reloader to record a feed while you're away with the AutoRecord feature. This season you can have AutoRecord break your recordings into multiple files, allowing you to record for much much longer intervals. Newly implemented this year is the ability to encode to more codecs, like DivX and Xvid." RealTV Player does not break up the recordings.

I actually go back and forth between them because the picture or sound is better on one or the other.

Also, the support is much better with Reloader. Probably because you have to pay for it. The other two are free. Although RealTv Player did eventually answer my emails. Reloader is a bit more user friendly, in my opinion

RealTV is nice to open more than one window and that way have two different channels open at same time

i've used BBviewer for a couple of years.
and for some strange reason I could not work it with Realplayer open (real kept closing itself)
BUT it is free.

I cache up hours of BB on the Realplayer while I'm watching the other feeds on BBviewer. Then if I read in Live Feed Transcipts that I missed something good, I go back and watch key parts of the Other feeds.

but that started screwing up too. I'd fastforward to a spot to watch...or Reload it to watch again and Whoops, the realplayer would disappear!

I think I will most likely stick to BBviewer again as

I use 2 computers. I will be recording with BB Reloader from 9pm to 5 am. When I'm not recording I use RealTV to watch the live feeds. I downloaded BBViewer this year but haven't played that much with it. If I could only use one of them it would definitely be BB Reloader as its feature set keeps improving. Oh, I also watch BB AfterDark live as I am on the west coast and its on ShowTime2 from 9-midnight. The next morning when little if anything is happpening in the house I watch what I recorded the previous evening.

For those of you that were told that SP was $99 and not $69 (as I paid)...The first time I called, the person did not know what I was talking about. I hung up and called back. The second time, I got the price I wanted. I think some might be more knowledgeable than others.

I also will be using all 3 (BBReloader,BBViewer,RealTV Player) we will see how they compare this year.
