Lurknomore | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 11:45 am     2ND VERSE SAME AS THE FIRST Wonder if TVCH logs IPs? BTW "Kirby" (hehe just having fun not buying this guys don't worry) if your parents won't let you subscribe to the feeds then why will they let you watch them if someone gave you their pw? |
Kirby | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 11:48 am     Hi Lurknomore, My parents don't like subscribing to anything over the internet or giving out their credit card number. They would let me watch them, they just won't give out their credit card number. Kirby |
Lurknomore | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 11:53 am     Didn't I read there was a pay by check option? |
Sunshyne4u | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:02 pm     I see someone else here thinks that BB4 free feeds is 14 days along with the Realplayer 14 days free. I read very clearly that for BB4 the feeds are only FREE for 7 days!!!!! Then they are going to automatically take THREE MONTHS worth of money from your payment option. So you can't even cancel at one month, you get SUCKED in to paying something like $27.95 US FUNDS. I have tried to get an answer about HOW LONG the free BIG BROTHER feeds are.......still waiting for RP response. Anybody know the answer???? ****** The feeds are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOo boring and the people SOOOOooooooo boring. And here it is SEASON four and they still have only two camera people working. When someone goes into the DIARY room all four cams will switch to the same location. SNORE. |
Jan | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:09 pm     Froggie like Lurk said, setting up BBLIVE is ABSOLUTELY easy. I have no technical expertise AT ALL. For anyone who does want to use BBLIVE here are the really easy directions: click on the link for BBlive and download it to your desktop. It is not a program that you then have to install. Once it is on your desktop , it is there to use. Just go here to download it: BBLIVE Download the download is on the right side of the page. Once it is on your desktop, you click on it and it opens to a white screen with a top menu. On that menu just click on Feeds, then on Add/Edit a grid will open up. In this grid on the left you type in, for example, camera 1 then on the left you paste in the url for camera one. Then you do the same for the other 4 camera views. That's all there is to it. Once that is done, everytime you want to use it you just open the white screen, click on feed and then on whatever camera view you want. You can open BBLIVE as much as you have resources for..eg have 5 BBLIVE screens open, one for each camera view. You get the URL's for the camera views here: URL's for camera views one set of 5 is for highspeed and one for dialup. Choose the 5 you want. Copy and paste them in to BBLIVE one at a time. It is absolutely easy. All you need to know how to do is copy and paste (and if you don't know how to do that..then write the URL down and type it in!) |
Kirby | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:13 pm     It says you can get the feeds free for 7 days and anything after 7 days you must pay $9.95 a month. If you cancel at 7 days, you SHOULDN'T have to pay anything. |
Ryanc829 | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:16 pm     Kirby - I would cancel after 6 just in case. |
Kirby | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:22 pm     Jan - This doesn't work for me. |
Angelbleu | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:26 pm     Wow!! I made those changes to Preferences/Hardware and my picture is crystal clear and sound seems to be much better....thank you thank you thank you |
Lurknomore | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:30 pm     The trial is still 14 days if you order via Real.com and take the 9.95 a month. |
Jan | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:33 pm     Kirby go here for the techies instructions. I was just relaying what I did..but I have zero technical expertise (it's about the 6th entry on the page): BBLIVE DIRECTIONS sorry about that  |
Kirby | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:33 pm     But do you still have to subscribe to the Big brother Feed if you do it at Real.com or does Big Brother come automatically w/ Real Superpass? Thanks. Kirby |
Jan | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:34 pm     kirby BB comes automatically with Real One Superpass |
Laisey | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:34 pm     Just downloaded BBLive and didn't have to add the url's. The cam numbers were already there. |
Ryanc829 | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:35 pm     Kirby - If you subscribe to superpass you get Big Brother 4 Feeds as part of that package. |
Jan | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:35 pm     great laisey..maybe they changed the program. It used to be loaded with the UK URL's |
Laisey | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:39 pm     Jan - and the FOTH looks just great on it. |
Kirby | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 01:14 pm     Sorry to be asking all of these questions , but do you need to be a subscriber of Superpass in order to watch the feeds on BBLive? Sorry again for asking all the questions and thanks for answering them. |
Ryanc829 | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 01:16 pm     Kirby - Nope. I don't think so. |
Ryanc829 | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 01:17 pm     By the way, the only dumb question is the question you don't ask. |
Draheid | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 01:18 pm     Kirby: Yes, you do need a subscription, even when using BBLive, since it uses the RealONE player to access the feeds. |
Ryanc829 | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 01:20 pm     Draheid - Can't he use BBLive if he just has the CBS website deal? |
Draheid | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 01:22 pm     Ryanc829: Yes. Sorry, what I should have said is you must have a subscription to either Superpass OR the Big Brother package. Either will work, but one or the other subscription is required to use BBLive. |
Kirby | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 01:23 pm     Oh. Well, I guess that is why it didn't work. Thanks for your help everyone, especially Ryanc829. |
Kirby | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 02:10 pm     BTW, does anyone know what FOTH means? Thanks. Kirby |
Ryanc829 | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 02:11 pm     Front of the House - It's the camera view we get when they don't want us to see/hear something. |
Angelbleu | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 03:13 pm     This BBLive is wonderful....just what I have been looking for...thank you so much....I have an awful time trying to multitask with RealOne... |
Suzsmarmie | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 04:02 pm     Just read the board for the first time today (out all day with DH at Home Depot; aah the little things we do) to find Froggie & Nathalia saying feeds are fixed...MINE ARE TOO!! Yay!! I'm on the East Coast too, so hmmmm, maybe. Maybe I'll give RealCrap...err, RealPass one more chance. Thanks for the info; I'd all but given up!! |
Jan | Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 10:18 am     For those of you who use Real one to view the Live Feeds, Mranon has made a nice little program that will give you a toolbar for the camera views. You can choose the camera view with which you want to open Real and change views using the toolbar..it is really easy to use..obviously since I was able to do so  Here is the link: Quick Links in your Taskbar |
Justareader | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 12:43 am     if using BBLive you will notice that the F keys are "hot keys" for the cams I just put a piece of tape across the keyboard above my F keys and wrote the feed numbers above the appropriate F key. Yah, low tech but so effective. |
