Delilah | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 03:46 pm     Hiya Cinders, yup, the free real one doesn't work with the feeds, I had to upgrade to the realone superpass yesterday - the free trial version. After the first two weeks it is $9.95 per month and I will cancel it after BB and go back to the free realone player. The reason I am not going to go through CBS is because of their player, also the realone player has alternative "programming" when we go to FOTH (which is enevitable! Aaack, the music just started in my head!!) The most important thing to do though is remember to cancel the $9.95 per month after BB. Also, I want to see what the big deal is between the free realone and the pay one. If it is indeed better, I may stick with it because I use my player every day and $10 is cheaper than going to the movies these days. Gateways rock! They have cool cow commercials too  |
Delilah | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 03:53 pm     Crazy, I think there will be, it may jump to $29.95 or so. While this is purely speculation on my part, last year if you didn't order the feeds in the first few weeks the price went up. Also I have read several articles saying the price will go up, I just can't remember what the jump is. Also, I remember if you ordered the feeds in the LAST few weeks, it was cheaper, they had a deal to squeeze a few extra bucks out of us once we were hooked LOL. |
Kador | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 04:00 pm     Are you sure that the CBS deal won't include the full player? I think the full player is REQUIRED for the feeds to work, so I'm sure it will be included. Besides, if you still have the RealplayerPlus from last year, I believe it automatically upgrades to the full version RealOne Player. |
Delilah | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 04:06 pm     Kador, I really don't know, again, my post is just speculation (as everything is until the action starts tomorrow night.) From what I have read over at Real and here on the board, I just picked a route to go and am sticking with it. I had already upgraded yesterday and this new CBS info just came out today. I don't know what the better deal is but I am sticking with mine for now. I figure I have two weeks to decide before Real starts charging me. I also figure we will all compare our deals (the one through CBS or Real) and when we all figure out which one is better, we can relax about this. Right now I just want to see those cute lil hamsters! |
Jennypoo | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 04:09 pm     Well I am ready to go! Got the 14 day free trail then I will get the 24 dollar package! Tomorrow I will clean house really good so I won't have to worry about it for a few days! I am all set just waiting. I feel like a kid at x mas waiting to open my presents! |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 04:18 pm     For less than the cost of going out just for one evening you get three months of some pretty good stuff. and we all know we aren't going out for three months.. |
Delilah | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 04:22 pm     I found this and I guess the deal is the same with one exception - if we join through Real, it will be more expensive but we will get additional programming (is it worth it?) If we join through CBS, it will be $5 cheaper but won't get any additional programming. So now what do I do? LOL. I guess I will go with Real for the trial and then decide if I want to save $5 or not. Live Feed Information. Courtesy of Bigbrothernation.com Tuesday July 9, @ 2:45pm CBS and RealNetworks®, the global leader in Internet media delivery, today announced that they have joined forces for the second time to provide exclusive, 24/7 live video streaming from the Big Brother 3 house. The webcast, which premieres Wednesday, July 10, immediately following the east coast broadcast of Big Brother 3 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), can be ordered through the official Big Brother website and through RealNetworks' RealOne SuperPass subscription service. The live webcast, featuring four live camera feeds, will be available only as a subscription service.

Cmc209 | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 08:31 am     When does real plan on making the feeds active? I haven't seen any major ads on the homepage showing that they are going to do the BB thing again... the press release is the only thing I've noticed, but that was because I found the link here. |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 08:36 am     I have the same question Cmc. I've tried to get Big Brother on my Real One player and can't find it! |
Iceprincess | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 08:54 am     I believe the feeds go active AFTER the East Coast Premire. It seems so secretive this year... |
Ryn | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 09:03 am     10pm EST folks....... Count on it - you will prolly have to log on via the CBS website. |
Jennypoo | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 09:15 am     Yes that is what I was told too... as soon as the show is finished you can hit the link thru CBS and presto 24/7 BB I can't wait. This is my first time with live feed. |
Mssilhouette | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 10:01 am     Okay..now that my head is spining...9.95, 24.95..14 days..RealOne Superpass...ACK! Is there a reason why people are calling Real instead of just signing up online? Is it easier to call the company than to trust it to point and click? Also the 24.95 quarterly price for the RealPlayer won't be availble until today..or was it yesterday? I'm just trying to get it all straight before I click or call. |
Star20999 | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 10:20 am     I was told last night by Real that at the end of the show tonight they will start streaming... Yeah... Also, today I had to call Real because while trying to log on at the office this morning I accidentaly ordered SuperPass again. While she was fixing my account, I innocently asked when did they change their trial from 30 days to 14 days. She said she didn't know but did I want an extra 30 days free? Of course I said, "that would be great, thanks." So I now have 45 days free before I have to pay. Note, I did not make any mention of CBS or Big Brother this morning when I called. Not that this would make a difference. |
Jennypoo | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 10:32 am     Just called real one and guess what the are giving me it free till Aug 23rd right on and they are sending me a e mail so I can cancell thru it if I want too. so COOL!! |
Delilah | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 10:32 am     Missil, we know the feeds will be up at 10pm EST tonight but I am concerned that I still don't see anything about it at Real or CBS site! I have my super pass fired up and ready to go but as the time nears I am getting nervous because I see nothing regarding the feeds. I just emailed CBS (used their feedback form) and if I hear anything I will let you all know. Btw, I signed up online and my super pass is working (I tested it by watching some of the All star game last night online, something I wouldn't have been able to do with my free real one player) Have a great last day before the maddness begins!!  |
Delilah | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 10:37 am     Guys what is the number you called, I want to get some free time too! What did you say - word for word please, I don't want to screw it up! Are the worried they will lose peeps because CBS is offering a better deal? Thanks in advance!  |
Therlin | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 10:41 am     You say "the fat guy flies at midnight" And they answer "but only on Christmas eve" Then ask for 30 free days. Nothing can go wrong. |
Delilah | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 10:45 am     Therlin! ::::Delilah rolls eyes and laughs hysterically::::: This is serious money-saving business here, I need a script LOL! I never get anything for free and I do not want to screw this up. |
Star20999 | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 10:51 am     1-866-745-7636 Choose option 2 I just asked when they changed from 30 to 14 days free trial? |
C1mag | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 10:54 am     REAL ONE has the link to the vids now! Look in there browser on the right side. It says at 9pm est time they will begin broadcasting. |
Iceprincess | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 10:54 am     The FEEDS are coming the FEEDS are coming...LOL I just logged into RealOne and it is posted:

C1mag | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 10:57 am     hahahaha I beat you Iceprincess. |
Nurdreams | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 10:59 am     I called Real this morning and told them that I had tried to get the $24.95 for 3 months offer. They told me that it was a random offer. I told her that I saw it and when I signed back up using my account from last year, the sign up process it did not give that offer, it only gave me the $9.95 per month. Then she said that she would give me 30 days free and set it up. I got an e-mail confirmation back and I'm ready to go! |
Star20999 | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 11:03 am     I have been seeing commercials saying that the premiere will be 7Central/8Eastern, and everyone keeps telling me I am wrong, but I don't think so. I think this Wednesday (Today) only it will be at 7 Central/ 8 Eastern, but next week it will be at it's regular time. I just saw another commercial last night with the 7C/8E. DK |
