I see it like you're describing. It was good this morning, but terrible now.

I am getting the same thing. I think we are overloading them.

Is it only those watching the free feeds that are getting the weak reception, or are the paying subscribers getting this problem also?

I have no probs with the feeds and I pay for them. The prob I has was when I used that bblive thing otherwise on realone they are great.

Iceprincess: Just out of curiousity (or maybe to prove a point) could you try comparing BBLive using the 'Free' link to using the 'Pay' link and see if it's possibly weak because of overloading on the 'Free' account?!?

Thanks.

LOL My father was right! You DO get what you pay for! I just got a picture of Danielle with her eyes merged together like a cyclops.

I'm having the same problem with the free feeds now - video AND audio.

I knew it was too good to last....

Expirment complete transmitting data:

In BBLive program using the pay feed links the video is the same as using realone.

In BBLive program using the free links the video is choppy crappy cuts in and out.

In realone using the free links video crappy, choppy blacks out a lot sounds sounds like poopie.

In real one using the pay links, video sound normal.

I have a question about these "free feeds". Is it legal for us to be accessing them this way? I don't want to get into trouble. Ethically, I also don't want to use them if I'm not supposed to. What is the source?

Iceprincess....you got the same results that I got using RealOne beta on Mac OSX.

My guess is that the free feed urls spread like wildfire and now a gazillion folks are logging onto the free link servers which greatly degraded the audio and video coming through the free link servers.

Just my guess...

Iceprincess

I have to agree with you, I would assume that the free feeds would be stopping soon either from too many people accessing them and frying something in the process (LOL) or someone will get wise and shut it down.

I swear, last night the quality was pristine. Guess you do get what you pay for.

Nutsy, I already spend *way* too much time on the Board at work. Getting LFs too, would probably not be a good thing. Not that I could turn away!

That was my rationale for not paying for the feeds as well. Too distracting... And yet, here I am, listening to the free feeds.

But the HGs all sound like Darth Vadar...!

I may be wrong, but I think I remember reading something in the tech section about the BBLive program not working properly if you had RP8 or RealOne loaded on your computer.

My free feeds are gone, are ya'all finding the same predicament?

I am behind on things, I didn't realize they offered free feeds at all. I paid for the 24.95 dealie, figured it was only way to watch. Is this a free feed offered by BB or some 'back-door' entrance someone found?

backdoor

Has anyone found a way to make BBLive work well with pay feeds, as it has in the past? I MUCH prefer that window. If so please let me know.

Are you sure about it being a backdoor?

Why would they call a backdoor entry free, like right in the uri?

It must have just been a carrot, its not hard to get hooked.

Isn't that funny?? BBLive was working until last night (even though I have Real) and then just now Real one from within BBLive (I don't understand why Real kicks in) just told me that what I want to watch is unavailable... Oh well, it was such a poor quality that it might as well be gone...

Thanks a lot for the brief fun I had anyway.

My Free Feeds on Real One are gone as well. Oh well, thats what I get for not putting any money forth.

Give it a few days and try again and I bet it will be back up. This was the 3rd time they have done this and I would bet they will do it again.

UGGGGGGGGH! Ok you teckie nerds...find another FREE way in! hahahaha (too cheap to pay for FOTH)

Bump...

If any of you know if the freebie comes back... Both BBLive and Real are giving me the "content is not available" malarkey.

Half? I'd *been* running both of 'em. Not at the same time, mind you, but I did have both installed and running. Running free feeds...

I have been trying to follow this, and I need to know, are there free feeds avalable? When and where?

Tmleafs4life

Monday, August 05, 2002 - 05:22 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Hey Calgaryperson, there were "free" feeds available, but for some reason or another they aren't available anymore. If you go to the beginning of this thread, you'll find instructions on how we got the free feeds. But now when you try to get them you'll get a message like this: The content you have requested is not available please contact the administrator of the referring page

BTW: Go Leafs!

I believe that would be ~ "go flames"....

Well kellirippa For calgaryperson it would certainly be go flames but for tmleafs4life, whose name seems to stand for Toronto Maple Leafs for life...I don't think she could get those words out!

Tmleafs4life

LoL. Actually I don't mind the Flames in the least... but as Jan pointed out, I am a Leafs fan first and foremost!
