Bonza, I have to keep myself from watching at inappropriate moments...LOL!The technology of the new Android phones is amazing! If anyone is thinking of getting the HTC Evo...it is well worth it! Paired with a Blueant Bluetooth with voice commands, I can do everything handsfree! It reads my texts and emails through my earpiece. I can access my calender etc...all handsfree. It will play music and stop when I get a call. I just say answer or ignor...to answer the call. And the phone itself does everything!

That sounds great! How is the battery life?

Jimmer, when I first got the phone the battery life was good. I don't know why everyone was complaining about it. Then they did a software update that made the battery life great! If you just used it for calls and normal internet usage it still lasted 2 or 3 days. If all you did was stay on the internet/music etc....then maybe a day or so, still good! Since the 2.2 upgrade it has reverted to decent battery life...but I hear they will have a fix for that, as they did before. In any case it still makes it through a day's use. The good thing about it, is that unlike the IPhone, it has a removable battery. So if you really need heavy usage you can just swap out the battery!

LOL - At the risk of sounding like a broken record, that is impressive! I can see why you are loving it.

And the price is good too. It $129 plus $20 (for the 4g) a month for the 2 of us. Unlimited text/internet etc. Free calls to ALL cell phone carriers. Free evening landline minutes etc. AND we get 25% off the already low bill because we qualify for a discount through DH's work! So...very happy!

since this thread was near the bottom of the page, I'm guessing noone is having problems with the feeds?
it was smooth sailing for me until last night - now the feeds freeze several times an hour, and I have to restart them - very annoying - I've tried with bbviewer and bblite, and it happens with both 
must just be me having this problem now - just wanted to vent to someone. LOL

Someone posted something somewhere with instructions on how to cancel online without having to go through talking to someone. Is there a way to cancel the feeds online? Thanks

Maris - someone posted the following info: you can cancel online, therefore avoid all the talking they do to try and get you to stay with them. Just go to Real player, click on my account(my info), change info in location/lang. preferences, not billing address. Here are the changes you need to make...Lang.- English-Canada, Zip 243-8511, Country- Japan. Then go to billing history, cancel feeds. Just remember next year, if you sign up again, to go back and put the correct info in before you sign up.

Thanks Mystic. Lol Sea. I have to say I barely watched the feeds this year and only occasionally showtime. This was very much a yawn season for me. I realized that every year we wish that there were more players who were into big brother and really knew the game. Seems to me like next year I hope they are all clueless aobut the game. Who wants to spend their summer watching people memorize and recite who won what competition when.

did anyone ever figure out if there is a way to watch live feeds if you have an old computer (Windows ME). We paid all year and cant even watch it..and kept thinking someone must have found a way to do it..

Thank you, Mystic. Feeds canceled, so satisfying hitting that "Cancel" button after this train wreck of a season.

I really can't take credit as I copied and pasted this info from someone else and saved it in my e-mail. So glad that it is working for all of you - I've heard that it is pretty hard to cancel by phone!

i canceled by phone, it wasnt hard but they did try to encourage me about all the other things they offerded. (movies, music, games) they were very nice and said they had a lot of cancelations this year and that real has no longer any control over the feeds. its cbs total control.

I made a donation to BBLite today and got a very nice thank you email. With their permission I will post it here - the best news - they will be back for BB13!
They have an excellent app that enhanced the feed-viewing experience for so many of us. If anyone can pass a few dollars their way...
=======================
"Hey Julie,
Thank you so very much for your donation. It is truly appreciated and definitely helps support the effort. You are a wonderful person.
Don't worry though, we definitely plan to be back bigger and better next season!

I feel lucky in a way - there were never viewers for Mac all these years so I was always stuck with RealPlayer and no options. So - lucky that my first viewer option is such a great product. :-)

I have a mac and I didn't use Real Viewer for the past few years. I think I used BBViewer one year the other the prior year... I never knew the difference so just downloaded whichever everyone here was talking about

An app called "cloud browse" was posted in this thread over the summer so that people could see the new flash BB feeds on their ipads and iphones, and I wanted just wanted to share a new one that just came out. It says for iphone, but it's for ipad, too.
Skyfire
http://www.skyfire.com/product/iphone
It says temporarily sold out right now, but it will be back soon. I just wanted to post it before I forgot about it.

I much prefer Skyfire over CloudBrowse for the simple fact that it runs and looks better. Last summer I did use CloudBrowse for BB feeds and have not yet tested Skyfire as I don't keep my SuperPass sub year-round.
Both apps do indeed run on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.
