Rwilliam62521 | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 10:31 am     I got mine back by deleting all cookies that referenced REAL.COM and REALPLAYER.COM, then went to the CBS site and selected the feeds. Now working just fine. |
Kiari | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 10:34 am     Mine was down and just started back up just fine, I think they are fixed. |

Sia | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 12:16 pm     I received an e-mail yesterday regarding how to un-subscribe from a subscription service. This is posted here for its entertainment value: To unsubscribe from this service you must first purchase a Craft-O-Matic Adjustable Subscription Cancellation Unit. The unit can be obtained from most hardware stores and dental clinics. Be sure to obtain the proper permits to operate the unit from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Food and Drug Administration in Washington D.C. USA. Be sure to carefully unpack the kit and place each component in its accompanying mesh safety bag. Mount the Pershing DF4 mesinator on top of the perforated Gerring Mach 77 refibulator and attach them using the eight-millimetre torque fork. Be sure that the refibulator is mounted at a 66 degree angle and properly dispersed so that it is flush with the curved section of the Pyrex thistle tube. Place the four sections of the triangular separation gear into the posture cylinder and lock them into place using the band aid adhesive strip. Insert the wiggling pin into the wobbling hole, making sure that it seated correctly. Place the D cell battery and the eleven 9 volt batteries in the power chamber. The device should be calibrated before operation using the optional digital corkscrew accessory pack prior to operation. Insert the digital corkscrew through the electronic combustion service chamber using caution not to touch the reinforced tungsten igniter control module and quickly turn the inverter drive to 28.6 degrees. Turn the Craft-O-Matic Adjustable Subscription Cancellation Unit upside down and hit the bottom plate with a 48-ounce ball-peen hammer while shaking the unit vigorously. Force open the door to the incineration valve compartment and set the pressure gauge to 719 psi. Close the door and seal it shut with duct tape. The unit should now be properly calibrated and ready to use. Before activating the Craft-O-Matic Adjustable Subscription Cancellation Unit, you must first elevate it to a height of 229 feet above sea level to insure that the unit receives the proper oxygen level and barometric pressure. Point the aerial to 17 degrees north by Northeast to within the parameters of the Telstar GS-2 weather satellite and apply pressure to the wing shaft on the southern most section of the modular accelerator. Using the special ratchet adapter supplied with the unit, rotate the heater core to the "on" position. The "on" position has been obtained when the green light begins to flash, signifying that the red light is about to go off. Once the red light is off, flip the toggle switch labelled "ON/OFF" to the "ON" position and count to 47 before logging on to the system. Logon using your username and password and wait for the prompt. Once prompted you must check the box with the appropriate action you wish to take and then press the pressure release button and turn off the compressor while turning the hand crank at 231 meters per minute. Next, press control, alt, delete, caps lock, shift, number lock, escape and tab simultaneously. Press enter. You will have one second to complete the procedure. If you fail to respond in the time limit allowed, simply purchase a new Craft-O-Matic Adjustable Subscription Cancellation Unit and start from the beginning. Please remember that this is the only way we will accept for you to unsubscribe from this service. We have made every attempt to simplify the procedure for your convenience. Failure to comply with the unsubscribe policy will result in immediate termination of your subscription so please follow the above directions closely.

Lisad | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 12:45 pm     OK - I think I figured out my problem. Previously, I couldn't get version 2 to work & had to use v. 1. All was fine till they played around last night and made me download the new version. They just told me they removed the v.1 link from their site! They also told me that many people who have satellite systems have problems with v. 2 and are fine with v.1 I told him I have a wireless internet and v.2 doesn't work for me - could that be the same realm as "satellite"? Yep. So if any of you having problems getting it to work at all after you downloaded the new version - you might want to try v.1. I was told I can only get it via a special link that Real will email to you quickly. I'm on hold now waiting for someone to get my request in. You might want to try v.1 as it might get you up & running. If I get a decent link to v.1 - I'll post it. |
Fuddyduddy | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 01:13 pm     Just received an answer to my email to the Public Relations folks in the Corporate office. "I am so sorry this happened to you. We implemented a parental control update which caused problems for some users. We have put a fix in place last night and you should be getting your streams now. Let me know if you are still having difficulty. Erika" I responded and said it was not just some but MANY users who had problems, and gave her the link to visit the Discussions Board area and to read this thread and the one about Macs and no feeds. Any one still having problems? Contact Erika at eshaffer@real.com |
Dahli | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 01:33 pm     Oh Sia that was funneeee - thanx for the laugh!! |
Lisad | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 02:00 pm     I just got off the phone with my SECOND tech support guy. Whew! They don't have the link to the older version but helped me out with my problem. I HAVE FEEDS! He basically had me remove all old realone stuff (not just installing a new one to override - they must be removed via add/remote. And also clean the rpt1). Make sure the Proxy settings (under tools/preferences) said this: PNA - No proxy specified. RTSP - No proxy specified. HTTP - Use system Internet Connection proxy settings: No proxy specified. It still didn't work till he told me to go into "tools/preferences/hardware" and move the bottom slider all the way to the left. Oh! I spoke to him saying it was ridiculous they chose last night to play with their system. he agreed and said they've had hundreds of calls and staff are not happy with the decision. He agreed they should have waited at least a day. He told me we can complain here: feedback@real.com Yep - next on my list |
Bb3friend | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 02:13 pm     anyone else just lose the feeds? |

Sunrisedd | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 02:16 pm     My feed are gone, NOT the same problem as last night |
Lurknomore | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 02:16 pm     yup I did ((( Only a few hours left of addiction and no access. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Funny how NONE of these problems happened when aol had the feeds. Real can blame CBS all they want I don't buy it. |
Maris | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 02:18 pm     I lost mine too |
Wtruup2 | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 02:18 pm     Oh, what the heck!! My feed timed out, now I cant get anything either!! Someone HELP!!! |
Sunrisedd | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 02:21 pm     This is like when CBS cuts us off for the season. Live feeds is over (my opinion) |
Minser37 | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 02:23 pm     Mine are gone too. This is the first and last time I buy the feeds! |
Beagle | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 02:23 pm     Yup, mine's gone now too. I timed out and when I went to refresh, I lost the feeds. Guess they're just waiting for anyone who was still connected to get the boot and then they shut the whole thing down for the season.

Sunrisedd | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 02:25 pm     The big clue was showing us the 4 feeds of the HRD room |
Screeminmeemie | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 02:25 pm     If it weren't for this board right now, I would feel as isolated as the houseguests.. |
__Tera | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 02:26 pm     My feeds are still working. L&D are still outside in their pajamas. |
Snogrl | Wednesday, September 25, 2002 - 02:29 pm     I have 2 computers with feeds on. One of them I accidentally let it time out...can't get them back. So I quick went to the other and when I refreshed it I was able to reconnect. Try to catch yours before the 30 min. |
