Thanks so much Tera! I just bookmarked that and I have a feeling I will use it often.

Oregon, I don't know about that, sorry Are you still getting a big toe sized screen? (Wasn't that you?) Have you tried calling Real about that? I can't believe how crystal clear the pic and audio are on mine (better than my TV) What's driving me nuts is the slow-mo pic, for the most part I am just listening and just watching when something juicy is happening. I have tried keeping the clip on top but it gets in the way of the message board!

I wish I could help with the audio, and big toe sized pic, there has to be an easy answer, no?

The sound is much better, thanks for the tip, Lurk! Now the program is saying out of memory. Hello? Can't be possible. Sigh. Why couldn't they just stick with last year's format? Everything ran w/out a hitch. Why does this application take up so much memory?

Stupid "improvements."

Don't worry--I'll sort it all out. Hi Delilah--I'll call Real Player only as a last resort--I usually find any customer service unhelpful and maddening. I think I'm out of luck with the big toe cam, as I only have a 56k. At least the Big Toe Cam is at "real time" speed. It doesn't really bother me much--kind of funny, really.

Glad it worked Oregon...we all have to stick together here! Kinda like BB1, "it's us versus them at Big Brother

Real is a system hog..I think most of us have been running out of memory regardless of how much we have. It's been a HUGE problem for me. I was almost done with a file download I REALLY need from Morpheus when it just nuked me. I'm leaving BB closed till I finish it. GRRRRRRRRRRR

Least I have a fat butt cam not a big toe cam hehehe...I have DSL. So when Real destroys my pic and system it is nuking a big, good quality pic LOL.

PS forget last years format...I wish we could go back to year one...free aol feeds with the nice 4 way cam so we knew which feed we wanted to choose. I never had a problem then, and I was on a modem that season.

I just got that no smil error message and just wanted to say thanks again for the reloader link - it worked!

You would think the folks at Real would appreciate all the extra money around this time and would fix the freakin' bugs in the system. Just when I think everything looks great, pic and audio are in sync, something interesting is happening etc... I get booted.

Just used the reloader three times while typing this message, thanks again!

This is driving me nuts, I have to go take a chill pill and fold a zillion loads of laundry. Hope it isn't going to be like this for three months

I am getting the XML erro on feeds 3 and 4! Feed 1 and 2 are of Josh and Chaira washing towels with the sound from the group in the pool.

What or where is this re-loader link?


Any word from Real about this error?

I am getting the same thing for the cam's 3 and 4. I went to the reloader site Half provided, but it is not working for me. Any word on this yet?

This is so frustrating...Feed 1 and 2 are the only ones working, but I'm getting absolutely NO audio...anyone else? 3 and 4 jst give me that error. The reloader site is not working for me either.

Cam 4 is working again, with the correct audio, yeah! 3 is still down, and audio is off for 1 and 2.

Great We can watch people doing laundry like our grandparents did. I dont get it. You give them a hot tub, you give them this new fancy malt liquor, but but they have to do the laundry like it was 1800. Help me understand.

LOL Maris! 1900 House! (PBS reality show last year). It's because the noise of the washer could cover the sound of "secret talks" going on.

Just had to share this one thing I just discovered (for you esp Oregon!) If you go to Tools, Equalizer, settings, you can choose "voice" and it cuts out a lot of the background annoying noise.

Okay, this is so annoying. Amy is outside reading (reading? the Bible?) but you hear Gerry and some guy in the kitchen! What a load of...whatever. I simply must go do some homework anyway, so here I go.

Must be shift change time in the BB control room since nothing is working right!

I have the same thing Oregon, and this is the only video that is "moving." No audio though (just static) Cam 3 and 4 are not working and this is driving me up the wall!


Has anyone called Real to complain yet?

Jade- The link in my post above takes you to the technical area where Halfunit posted the reloader links.

Ok I have a question for everyone. Do you have RP One or the RP One Superpass? Is the Superpass more money? It seems like all the little tricks everyone is doing on the feed players are working on something different than what I have, which is the RP One.

Tracic- I believe most have RealOne (the player) with Superpass (the subscription). Although I have heard the old Realplayer 8 works too.

ALright what is the deal? Four feeds, and all of them showing the same thing? Are there not 12 people they could be showing?

Not only are there technical issues, the content sucks too. Two cameras are usually focused on one scene and the other two feeds are uninteresting long distance shots in which the audio is not even tuned in so that you can hear the conversations.

I agree Funky! This is the first time that I have gotten Live feeds and I am very disappointed so far! When they do start to show something worthwhile, they switch to FOTH!!!Its so frustrating!
