Yes, spy. That would be pricey just to watch the BB Krazies

I'd hold tight and see if Real Player 8 actually will work. I'm holding off on upgrading to RealOne player until we find out for sure.

Hi Everyone. I'm not new, I was here last year under my daughter's screen name Juliee. I got a new computer and a new account. I am having a terrible time signing in to real player. The screen is blank everytime I try. I am also having problems on other sites. Wouldn't you know this happens right before BB3. I never cancelled my real player and now I can't even watch the live feeds today. I hope Dell can help me. Anyway just wanted to say Hello. :)

Same here, Freydnot -- I'm perfectly willing to subscribe and all, but if I can avoid downloading the Real One monster, that's what I want to do...

If any of you have gotten the free 14 days, call back as they are now giving an additonal 30 days for free. I just talked to them about signing up and mentioned this and she offered me the 44 free days. If you want to see all of BB, you will still have to subscribe to BB for 2 additional months to cover the entire 12 BB run at $9.95 per month

Apparently some (all?) at real are no longer giving that 30 day automatically, though there are rumours they will do so if you threaten to cancel at the end of the 14 days.. I say try anyway, and if it doesn't work, try again in a little less than two weeks..

RealOne is loaded and ready to go - just one question..
Has anyone figured out how to remove the "channel bar" at he bottom of the screen. I can usually figure these things out, but this one has me stumped!!!!!

I'm still getting lovely "radio".

Sigh.. This is a new computer, think I'll try my laptop.. I installed the new player earlier. I know things will shake down but... arrgh.. I hate this.

(Not to mention that AOL media player tries to take over)

Me too, Seamonkey...mine is a brand new computer too. The video is non-existent, but the sound is good.

Sorry the link did not help Moon...I think for me it is my crappy slow dial-up. Oh well...better than nothin'!

Okay, I'm picky I know...I apologize beforehand :-)
I have the feeds up and running fine. But for some reason I seem to hate that chat log on thing on the right of the feed...anyone know how to get rid of it?

I'm not getting a very fast feed from Real, but maybe that's part of their plan. I get about 28kBs, which in modem speeds (kbs) is about the equivalent of 12 times a 28.8 dialup. Everything else on the net comes down at about 159kBs, which is the default Bellsouth DSL speed (1.5mbs).

It's a pretty good picture nonetheless, but I'm wondering if anyone knows for certain why they are not letting us get the full bandwidth.

Skeldragon, you can right click on the vid and uncheck the showrelated info at the bottom that should do it!

Just FYI -- I've been connected for an hour and ten minutes without a timeout. Weird.

Thank you! I don't know why that bothered me so much....I better calm down, the season has hardly started!

My video isn't great. It is a bit blurry. Any suggestions? I have seen some screen shots you guys have made and mine video is NOT that clear.

Wyndie, what is your connection speed? Are you on dial-up?

All of the images I post on my website are from cable modem. I connect at 201kbps.

If you are on dial-up, the blurry image is the best you will be able to get.

Try to adjust your video controls in your RealOne player. You may be able to tweak it into a image that is a little more clear.

__Tera - I too have a cable connection. :( There are times it is more clear but in general it isn't as crystal as some of the screenshots other have posted.

Actually, right now I am having another problem with Real. Ugh. 60% of my real window has like a plaid pattern through it. Lovely. I thought rebooting would take care of it, nope. I have done that twice. Still there. I am about to call them and see what they suggest. I figured if it wsa happening to everyone there would be a thread about it. Hm. it has been happening to me for about 12 hrs now. *shrug*

UGG-- right now I am not getting BB's feed through Real. When I click on the 24/7 the player simply puts up an ad for me to subscribe to real.

Now I know my free 14 day trial isn't up. Are the feeds down? Anyone else having this prob?

I am about to call, but need to find their number

Lauram, I came here because I'm having the same problem. How are people connecting to the feeds? Are you doing it through the official BB site or from Real's home page? I don't have a lot of free time during the day and it really ticks me off that when I finally do, I can't figure out how to connect the feeds.

Jules, I'm about an hour north of Little Rock, on Greers Ferry Lake. If I knew where to find my folder, maybe I'd fill in the personal stuff.
