O.K. I know that I am behind the rest of the civilized world, but I am on dial up access. I have always had the feeds on dial up. Watching the guinea pigs, my audio is very choppy. I am used to the video being like a slide show but, I have always been able to hear. I tried downloading the newest version for Real Player (11.5?), but could not get it to work. I uninstalled and went back to version 10.5. Does anyone have the list of settings that I should change in my preference tab of real player to optimize my viewing?

I'm right there with you, I've watched for years on dial up and as long as I get my audio, I can deal with the choppy feeds but this year I can't get it to work. I hope someone can help us soon.

sounds like your buffering might be not adjusted.

Tools-- preferences---under general you should see PLAYBACK settings Livepause I set to 2 hrs. Enable turboplay and at the bottom you should see an area in which to SET the amount of time to Buffer. I set it to 30 seconds.

Under Connection it should be a good idea to 'Test Connection' that might help as well. Good luck

Keep in mind the first night the feeds are absolutely overloaded when they go live-- tonight may not be the best time to tweak. That said, I haven't seen any guaranteed links for dialup connections, although I assume they're out there-- what links are you using to watch? The ones posted here that I've seen have been more high-speed. Try going through the CBS or RealPlayer pages to get more generic links that may push you onto a better feed for dial-up.

Ok, anything else, I've done all that already.

These are the dial up links I'm trying to use, although I have also tried to go through Real. When I go through REal it says not enough network bandwidth, when I go through links, it says that they are inactive or invalid. rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb9_live&url=cam1_56.rm rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb9_live&url=cam2_56.rm rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb9_live&url=cam3_56.rm rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb9_live&url=cam4_56.rm rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb9_live&url=quad_56.rm

Thank you so much for suggesting the use of Real 10.5 - it's working for me. After signing up for superpass and d/l'ing real 11, i was completely unable to even get to the signin page - removed Real 11 and back to 10.5 - no problems now. Hampsters sleeping. World is good again. I have a next problem that I'm hoping that someone might be able to help with.... Had hard drive failure a while back and lost both Bigbrolive.exe and realtv.exe. I found the geocities d/l page for realtv.exe - but it seems to be down (so can't get that). I also found the d/l page for bigbrolive.exe - and successfully d/l'ed that, but it won't open (unspecified .dll error). Tried removing and reinstalling, but no luck.... If anyone has any suggestions (other than paying for reloader - I'm a student and super-broke right now) they would be greatly appreciated.... Thanks and happy watching

Hi all - I am new to using Real Player and at first I could view the quad cam but now I can only view 1 cam at a time... when I try to quad view I get an error message that says "XML: Mismatched tag near line 83: </par>" I deleted cookies and restarted but didn't work - any ideas?

Last night I could get a picture but today I couldn't. I used the link above and uninstalled 11.0 and reinstalled 10.5 and now it works.

Well, I decided to stay on Lightspeed internet (5x dialup speed) and couldnt figure out why the feeds were so bad. And I hated the big grey square part anyways, I got rid of that new Realplayer 11 update and went back to the 10.5 Realplayer gold. it is way nicer to use and is smaller, more compact and uses less juice in this old pc. I noticed that the extraction? files stayed in my downloaded files area even though I had deleted the Realplayer in the appropriate area. So that was easy and now I am quite happy with lowspeed on this pc. YOu know, I detest not have the option of 56k this year. I found when the feeds were really busy and choppy, if you went to 56k, you'd have a slideshow but clear sound.

I agree Sun. I used to use the 56k feeds kind of like you would use a radio. Just for listening in the background.

I am also on Dial up 56k and got this response from Real, Thank you for contacting RealNetworks Tier 2 Technical Support. With technology getting better, video and audio streams require a faster connection to be able to carry the stream. This year the video is very clear, and very high quality. This would be impossible to stream over 56k dial up, as the stream comes over at 225K for High and 128K for Low. Just as the US government is pushing the requirement for TV's to have a digital tuner. We are have to push the requirement for faster connections. This is the way of technology. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

I made the mistake up upgrading real player....thank goodness I came here. Jabelljba, just follow the link above that Jool posted and when you install the older version again, it will detect your other version and ask if you want to un-install it and it will do it for you.

Does any one know how to get the slight blur out of the feeds? (I was also happy to return to the old version of real player.)

Thanks for the link to 10.5!! I've been wrestling with version 11 for a week now, fighting with "tier 1" online techs, waiting to be contacted by a "tier 2" tech", and growing more and more frustrated by the 6 day lack of feeds. GRRRRR! They shouldn't release a version that all the bugs haven't been worked out of. Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions, thought it was just me.
