Is anyone else getting random flickers of color bars and outages for seconds at a time? I mean, it's happened a lot since the season began. What gives?

Bastable, I can't believe I am going to say this but my feeds are incredible today, I used Draheid's direct links and they are crystal clear and it looks like I am watching TV. Not sluggish, choppy or anything and the sound is awesome too. Hate to brag but..... Seriously I know what you mean, if it wasn't for Draheid I would be very stroppy right now!

Draheid's player links

I used the first set and they are incredible. I know you are on a mac though so I am not sure if that means you can't use these....

Aren't you getting color bars now and then, for a second at a time? It can't be my computer since I also hear the FOTH music for that teeny snippet of time. Anyone else?

Yes, I too get the colour bars... But they are pretty quick.

I get the color bars on them today a lot. Also my sound has been wobbly on occasion today.

Bastable, have you tried Draheid's links? I am telling you since I saved them all in favorites, my feeds have been absolutely perfect. I tell you Draheid is a saint!

I used to get those color bars too. But come to think of it, I clicked off the 'optomize video' setting in RealPlayer so I could capture screen shots and I haven't had them since...Who knows??...

I've had the same thing, Bastable. It SUCKS and if Dave goes this week...I may cancel my feeds. This is really irritating.

OMG, I tried Draheid's and I can't believe the difference.

Delilah

Ark, I know, isn't it awesome? It really is like night and day for me and no timeouts either. It is like watching TV.

I am hoping it works for you Bastable!!! Btw, have you decided what to do with your wireless headphones?

(Edited to add, OMG I just saw your pic in your profile Wadsters!!!! ROFLMAOPMP that is hysterical!)

Delilah,
It's not my best shot ever! I had just put in an all nighter watching the feeds and reading the live posts!

Geez...people always pick on ya when ya have naturally curly hair or what! :)

LOLOL Wadsters! I bet if you called "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" they could help you with your image! Then again, I think your image is already fabulous LOL!

:::::::Delilah just had another look and ROFLed once again!::::::::

Delilah, thanks--I've actually been using Draheid's links since Day One. The issue here is truly coming from the BB control room. Haven't seen any test patterns today, though. A lot better than yesterday. Yesterday they must have been letting the interns call the shots.

And nope--still wanna unload those wireless headphones. Can you use them where you are?

Well goshdarnit Bastable, I am on Day 2 of the fab feeds and I am giving all props to Draheid

Anyway, heck yeah I would love to get my hands on some cheapo wireless headphones! My Dad lives on the upper east and he has wireless speakers that are a nightmare - every time a cab goes by, the static is unbelievable! I live in the burbs so I bet I would be OK, just the odd cow passing by and the sheep crossing the road in the middle of the afternoon *might* be a problem, but apart from that, I think I am golden, what are ya doing tomorrow? Deja vu?

Cam 1 is just a bunch of colors. The other cams are flickering. What is going on? Is it that earthquake we predicted?

Camera one is just lines---others 3 on--but no voice--

Bastable -- I'm in SoCA and if there was an earthquake (and I was waiting at 4am) I missed it! Maybe someone in the control room got some Viagra from Robert's brother...

Honestly... the producers have had three years to perfect feed delivery but it just keeps getting worse, if possible.

Here is Camera One right now:
