Where to get the free versons of Real software (legit)
Freydnot | Saturday, June 28, 2003 - 09:33 pm     Here is the URL for that elusive link on the Real home page to download the non-pay version of realone. http://www.realnetworks.com/info/freeplayer/ NOTE: Once the feeds go to a pay system, you will still need to pay for OnePass or whatever they are calling their monthly subscription service. I just wanted to install RealOne on my machine to get it all set up and tested before getting forced to provide a credit card. I'm hopeful CBS will provide the feeds free for the first week or two before going to the pay system. I'll look at the 14 day trial at that point. |
Jadeis40 | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 08:41 pm     Ok I am already frustrated. I tried to just use the free download and it still reequired my credit card. I went ahead and ordered the BB4 for the 24.95 a month. I tried to sign in and there is a white screen at the realone sign in. Can anyone help me please? Many thanks, Jade |
Angelsluv | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 01:41 pm     Jadeis, When I went to D/L the new RP after paying the $24.95, I wouldn't even get the log in pop-up, leading to an "illegal operation". Reinstalling 4 times, I found that my old version of RP would not update, so I had 2 versions on my pc. Then I uninstalled the older version thinking that would fix it.. No such luck, same problem.. I next uninstalled both versions, rebooted and then reinstalled the new version. This worked, but so far I have yet had to sign in (or got the pop-up to sign in). Works fine.. |
Scorpiomoon | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 03:45 pm     You can get older versions of Real here: http://www.oldversion.com The thing is, you can't use them to watch the live feeds. The feeds only seem to work in the newest version. You can try though. |
Litafreak | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 07:31 pm     I've been watching the show on tv for all 4 years and reading the live feed posts here for the last 3 years... now i'm ready to take the plundge, but let me get this straight before I charge up my visa... I have to pay for real player AND the live feeds from cbs.com?? Thanks in advance for the help. I'm sure I will have many more questions. |
Justareader | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 10:34 pm     litafreak - I think you will really enjoy having the feeds!! the Real One Player is free, you must pay for the BB feeds. I suggest this: First go to the link at the top of this thread and download their free player. Then make sure that real is working by clicking on some of the free content they have available. Once you know its working you should have no problem with playing the BB content once you have signed up and paid. Hey, I am no expert but I noticed no one else has answered ya! I suggest you use the links provided in the Real Player issues as they won't time out on ya! |
