Iceprincess | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 03:28 pm     ARRRRGGGGHHHHH I have such a headache from the scrubbing noise of tonya and that darn foot thing.....I want to shove it up her bum sideways!!!!!! |
Katrina | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 10:03 pm     Sunriverose, I read your post, which was linked over to this thread, and I understand well your technical angst. What a frustration that can be. I wish you good luck...... I was having trouble in the beginning, but it's running pretty well for me now on an old system. (FWIW, I'm runnning a Pentium I, I think at about 200 MHz, with 112 MB RAM and Win98SE slimmed down with 98lite.) I am happily using the shortcut links that were posted elsewhere on this board. (For example: http://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb3&url=bb3_1.smil&rpcontexturl=_keep) I have read that you need at least Win98 for RealOne, that Win95 won't cut it. Also, I am running ZoneAlarm personal freeware firewall. I have configured ZoneAlarm to allow RealOne to access the 'Net but not to allow RealOne to act as a server and to prohibit the RealOne Dynamic App Launcher from accessing the 'Net at all. Additionally, I am always running a freeware program called RamBooster, and that might help RealOne to run well on this old system. I hope you'll be able to find a way to get more favorable results on your system. Good luck! |
Sunriverose | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 10:11 pm     Thanks, Katrina (my original name was Katrinka) <No bashing moderators> Mod(14) Kat, I also have a pentium 1. I'll check out your link. Thank you. <No bashing moderators> Mod(14) <Please check your email. > |
Kaili | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 10:15 pm     Sunriverose, start the topics in the tech area- not in general discussions. Also, if there is a similar thread do not bother starting a new one. They are removing them because they need the space and it gets too cluttered, the same things are being posted in multiple threads, etc. They are not censoring, per say. They are not preventing you from making your point. Just please do so in an area that is already made. It's not to bury your complaints. The mods keep this site working- and they do an excellent job of it. They have been for a long time. If they are removing your new topics, assume they have good reason for it. |
Delilah | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 10:18 pm     Sun, I replied to you on the other thread that there is a technical link for RealOne/Feed probs etc... and it is at the mods discretion to maintain the boards and they can delete or move threads to save space and confusion. The BBFC takes up a lot of space and the board really heats up for BB. They do not want off topic comments in threads and if you have a problem with the feeds, you can find help in the technical area. I have had problems (like many of us) with the feeds and have found helpful and cheerful posters to share their knowledge with me (and I have shared mine with them.) I think your post was moved/deleted because there was already a thread for Feed problems and you didn't need to start a new one. Don't mean to annoy you or anything, just my two cents  |
Delilah | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 10:20 pm     OMG Kaili, GMTA! I just posted my comment and boom there is yours! We almost said the same exact thing at the same exact time - spooky!  |
Sunriverose | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 10:30 pm     Well, Kaili, thanks for the good words. BUT...AND AS WE KNOW, BUT...MEANS YAY, BUT NO, I TOTALLY DISAGREE. My post doesn't belong in the tech area because there are far too many people experiencing the same difficulties, and many of those people wouldn't know to go to the tech boards. They come here expecting to answers to their questions. They feel that they aren't smart or experienced enough to learn why RealOne won't work for them. They are afraid that they lack the knowledge they need to make it work for them. I POSTED MY BOARDS TO SAY......"even experienced, pretty puter savvy, 2 year BBFC vets such as myself cannot get real one to work AT ALL. <DO NOT BASH THE MODERATORS> Mod(14) |
Ryanc2002 | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 10:33 pm     General discussions is for BB/in the house discussions, not computer problems. |
Kaili | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 10:40 pm     Su riverose, I'm sorry if I upset you. I guess I don't know what to say. Did you try going to the thread for "Questions to Moderators"? I'm not trying to be argumentative, but a less aggressive approach may be more useful to you than the road you are currently taking. Ask them where exactly you should post and if they could create a link above the live feed thread that takes people directly to a help with Real Player Page maybe. I don't know. That may help other people who cannot find exactly where to go. I can't find the Questions thread right now, but I am looking. |
Delilah | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 10:42 pm     questions to moderators There ya go Kaili Hopefully we can move on now |
Kaili | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 10:44 pm     Hopefully this will help you, but please be nice to them! Questions to Moderators |
Kaili | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 10:45 pm     Oh, you beat me to it! there we go again! Thanks Delilah! I agree- hopefully this issue will be resolved and out to rest! |
Delilah | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 10:47 pm     Kaili, I was just about to say OMG we did it again, twice in a row! Sorry if we're taking up space by double posting Ryn!  |
Oregonfire | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 10:53 pm     One thing I don't like is that the cameras keep switching suddenly from one place to the next. I don't get the point. Are they trying to irritate us on purpose? Do you think each cameraperson has a view of what the other cameras are doing? They seem so uncoordinated. |
Misslibra | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 11:10 pm     The best place to take any complaints about RealOne is to go to the RealOne site, and complain to them about their live feeds. There isn't anything the TVCH/BBFC can do about it. Like you said many people are having problems and RealOne should know about it. |
Ryn | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 11:17 pm     If you want help with Real - check the tech area - thats what it is there for - there is also the real 800# listed in several places, I don't have it hand here. |
Ryn | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 11:20 pm     I always figgured this was a general release frustration thread Live feeds have actually run ok for me of late - but the wuality of what I see is often lacking!!! |
Mygetaway | Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 11:44 pm     I want to start a thread called: FOTH, FOTH, FOTH!! Tonight is bad. I think we are being punished! I think the girls are doing it on purpose, and I don't know why we can't get the other feeds while the girls are doing their thing! I may just have to go to bed early tonight. |
Angelsluv | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 01:13 am     I sent a really nasty feedback email last night to cbs.com complaining about the feeds, and how it's fine for the hg's to talk sex all the time but once anyone begins a convo about voting or the game, boom! to FOTH. I'm actually waiting to get a reply informing me that cbs.com has contacted RealOne and that I've been banned from watching the feeds *LOL* |
Mystery | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 11:18 am     Yes, Angel, and could you please stop singing?
|
Bastable | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 11:35 am     Everyone, for clarity: CBS should receive all complaints about feeds, FOTH, coverage, etc. The network is responsible for the feeds. RealOne should receive all complaints about player software or your subscription--that's all. (This is according to the live but otherwise clueless Real rep I finally got on the phone.) |
Justin42 | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 01:00 pm     There is a link for "feedback" at the bottom of pretty much all cbs.com pages. Let's all use it-- the worst that happens is nothing, the best is maybe they take the hints there's some discontent about the service we're PAYING for. |
Iceprincess | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 01:03 pm     I have written them and I will keep on writing them on a daily basis. |
Angelsluv | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 01:23 pm     I can't sing!!! *LOL* How about this?? "doo, dee..doo..bee.. la,la,la, doo" *Trying to mimick the Theme music* Aaaauuugggghhhhhh!!! Even with my eyes closed I still see the FOTH |
