Someone told me last year that the sound on feeds is much better (for whispering and such) if you wear headphones, and my computer has a headphone jack this year, can someone confirm what I've been told?

This true headphones come in mighty handy when watching the live feeds. :)

Yes that is true. You also have an equalizer in your RealOne player. The defalut settings have too much bass for voice. It is great to be able to adjust it to pick up even the softest whisper, or to help filter out the hot tub bubble noise.

I don't know if it's the new RealOne that makes the difference but my audio and video are MUCH improved over last year!!! Bright colors and no "too dark" screens anymore. It is too good to last???

Cathie my picture is crystal clear and sound is great. I have to agree with you on that. I have no complaints here. :)

I'm sure it's true about the headphones. I'm single, but I have a set of big head-squishing wireless ones and I love them! Wear them all the time when I'm listening to music, I like total surround sound, plus you're not tied down to the computer.

I'm really enjoying the new computer I have since last season. I had a cable connection then, but couldn't appreciate it because my processor was too slow, just got a still shot. But this one is BLAZIN' and it's WUNNNERFULLLLL!!!!!!!!

Cathie, I agree, the feeds are much better this year, except for front door LOL, and I like the chat feature also. I use headphones, I don't want to miss a thing LOL!

Wearing headphones also keeps your boss from hearing what you are doing :)

If you resize the player, the HTML-based buttons on the screen seem to stop working for me...

You can either set it back to 100% then press a button, *OR* you can save each camera under View > Favorites > Add Favorites and not worry about the buttons at all. This has the added bonus of eliminating the need for the "Real browser"...

They're also great to block out the kids when they start their silly whining about wanting dinner or some such inconvenient item!
