Thanks Suzsmarmie...the quad cam prob. really is a pain. I'm basically only seeing cam 1 while on quad, so I have to keep switching between all the cams and it takes soooo much time. I just don't understand why some people are having this problem while others are not. If anyone else has the problem let me know...and for anyone who finds out later that theirs was fixed let me know too.

So basically they are admitting they oversold their service and are hoping customers go away to solve the problem.

There is some truth in that, as customers will cancel if it is not up to snuff.

Thats basically it Cross. And I don't buy that the problem is too many watching. I think it's the same problem as yesterday. It's a problem with the high bit rate stream on all the cams and they don't know how to fix it. Can you believe they told me to lower my speed ... LOL I told them they must be kidding. The main reason a person acquires Cabel is for the high speed content.

Don't know if anyone is interested but I'm using ME and that's not listed as one of the systems BBLive supports. I'm happy to say it works with ME too! Ooooh -- So far I REALLY like this BBLive set up!

I'll be honest, my RealOne player, as well as BBLive, and highspeed connection are working great. Clear video, clear sound; nothing is choppy at all. My Quad Cam looks fabu too.

I'm sorry to hear that others are having problems.

One suggestion, go to Tools -> Preferences -> Hardware (bottom left) and change the Video Card Compatibility from Best Performance to Most Reliable. (Quit Real and then re-open Real so the settings are sure to take effect.) Perhaps this will improve things?

Good luck!

ok can someone tell me how to set up this bblive thing please. I guess I'll give that a try. I'm using XP. Thanks.

Ok so I dloaded the bblive thing and that does nothing except a little window opens up and all my choices for the feeds are for Australia bb. So whats up with that?

I downloaded bblive and keep getting an error message saying: System error &H80004006 (-2147467259). Unspecified error. I downloaded visual basic, but was told I had it. BTW, have WinXP home. Any suggestions?

I have BBLive set up is there a way to only have audio from only one window if I select to shut of sound to one of the windows they all are silent. Thanks in advanced...

C1mag, did you try my suggestion? Adjusting the video card settings? Did that do anything?

Regarding setting up BBLive. You have to put the feed addresses in yourself.

Go to this thread for more information (read from the beginning):

Just to add, here are two pictures of just how clear my feeds are after adjusting my RealOne video card settings:

Wendo thanks for the suggesting about the hardware video settings. It's been working better for me for almost an hour now. ::::knocking on wood::::: Getting streaming video instead of a slide show! I'd D/L'ed BBLive earlier today and it was still choppy. The video setting so far is the only thing that's helped me so far. Thanks!!!!

Wendo you are my hero!! You're suggestion to change the video card settings has solved my problem. Sending a cyber smooch your way You rock!!

I'm having the same problem with sound as Deenni (shutting off sound in one window turns it off in all). Any suggestions for us? Thank you!

Lily-- There's no solution to that problem with BBLive. All your windows will have sound, or none will, unfortunately.

That's why I only use 2 windows; a big one with my current camera at 225k (with frames for easy switching), and a small one with the quad at 80k(direct version w/no frames), that's usually on pause... I just use it every few minutes to decide on my cams...

Are multiple copies of RealOne the same way? All with sound, or none? I'm at work and can't check.

Thanks, I'll set my windows up that way and try it for a while.

No prob Bbrock and C1, anything to help. Glad it worked! (I needed to do it too since I have a newer video card.)

Bastable, if you're reading this thread, go read the technical discussion where you posted problems with feeds for the Mac.

While I watch BB on my PC now, I did test it on my OS9.2 PBG4 and the feeds are working as I type this; all cameras including the quad. (Using Adamblasts high speed links.)

Thanks a bunch for the response Adamblast! I thought maybe it was something I'd done or was doing. I'm entranced by this thing--it is sooooo nice!!! I shall certainly try your suggestion too!

I cannot get the bblive.exe to work. Now I keep getting the Au choice. anyone else have this problem?

I've been having problems all day with quad cam being totally screwed up, feeds breaking up...
I've tried evrything everyone has suggested (thanks to each of you) and nothing seems to help. This is crazy and if it's no better tomorrow, I'm calling RP. Maybe I'll get lucky (?????) like C1 and get a free month. Sounds like they really don't have any answers, but at least I can gripe to somebody besides you very helpful, very patient folks.

saggkl, you have to set the feeds yourself in BBLive (it's easy and well worth it).See Wendo's 12:04 posting above and go to that link. Read from the top. It explains exactly what to do.

Help! As a Mac user (9.1) I am told that I can't purchase (or even view) BB this year. :(

Is that true? Has anybody found a workaround?
