Jabell... The thumbnails are SO off. Some are even from completely other times (one this afternoon was really from last night).

I read a tip on another site about a little program called NetBalancer - it lets you limit how much bandwidth a program uses - so I set BBViewer for 180kb/sec, which is around half what it would normally use - it's as low as I could go without it buffering
you can google it - I got it from majorgeeks.com - there's a free version and a paid version, but the free one is just fine
once you install it, you run the program and it shows all the programs you have running - locate bbviewer in the list, right click on it, and click on "limit" and set it for what you want
if you don't use bbviewer, I guess you could just choose whatever browser you're using from the list and do the same thing...

Its the 1st Sat night and my reload is constant...I hate to see what is going to happen when we all try to watch the Live endurance HOH's we love.

I wouldn't mind the browser thing except no full screen. This sucks.

I have Windows 7 and also the NetGear Push 2 TV adapter. I've got the feed on my 46" tv. Then I used the magnifying tool to make the picture bigger. I used full screen and 125% to 150% on the magnifier to make it a bit bigger on my screen. I didn't want to go too much bigger or it gets way distorted.
Still and all, this sucks and I want the Real Player back!

They should not have put a whole 24 hours in one file for flashback when you only get a few inches of a slider. Trying to get within even 15 minutes of an event you are looking for is so aggravating when 24 hours are jammed in such a small space. They shouldn't have gone over 2 hours per file so we could find things easier.

This is about to drive my batty...
I click on a feed only to have it repeat itself a few minutes later.
I click on a thumbnail and it's nothing like it's showing.
I click on a DAYTIME feed and watch a few minutes of HGS sleep last night.
Best, I click on a live feed when it should be 9.45 BB time and they say it's "maybe 9." (This one worries me, as I am hoping their clocks are off and the feeds are not being delayed. I know yesterday morning the times were matching.)

Just saw this on another board and thought it was a lighter take on the whole Real Player feed issues:
"Seems like the BP feeds from the bottom of the Gulf are more stable than the BB feeds from LA."

Don't rely on the small feeds on the right. If you want to know what's on the four feeds, go to the quad feed and then select a cam from the right. What you see in the large feed is live, but not always in the small screens to the right.

geez, I've been clicking like crazy on the top thumbnail, thinking THAT looks like a good conversation going on, but I kept getting the bathroom feed...this is so dang annoying it isn't funny!
whoever designed this should be fired!

Lyn - I've had that problem. What was that movie where they weren't really on the moon? James Brolin? LOL, maybe this is all fake. Kidding, really.
Anyway, when it happens I reload my page and it goes away. Annoying.

Tvwatcher I'm with you ... I hate clicking on the thumbnails trying to see something different, and it ends up being the same feed you're watching.

I see Twoshot2 is our conspiracy theorist! But this issue of having feeds from different days really does make me wonder what's going on in the BB house.
(I am going to be really watching for a HG to say the date and time...)

Just tried to watch flashback from last night.
Picked 1am and when the feed came up it was daylight.

Ya know...I did not pay for this crap. I have been getting the feeds from day one of season one. I had absolutely no problem with last years feeds. It was what I expected.
Do any of you think we could get a class action lawsuit going on this? At least I could get my money back and just watch the tv show. The Dream house has MUCH better feeds then this crap.

Last year, I didn't cancel my SuperPass, knowing that I'd be signing up again this year and why bother. Now I'm about to call and cancel my subscription. Therefore I've paid for a full year of service for absolutely nothing. I wonder what kind of BS they'll try to sell me when I call to cancel.

I wake up, turn on the feeds and always think in middle of the night when hamsters are sleeping Real went in and fixed things. You would think by now they would of made the screen bigger, fixed the thumbnails to today and the silly hiccups/repeats.
Who do we write to complain and feel we have been heard ?
When is it too much we cancel feeds ?
Any thoughts ?
Twoshot2 I loved that movie lol

YAY, too! Can you hook speakers up to a laptop? Someone mentioned getting external speakers to help with the volume and I was wondering if there was a way to hook up external speakers to my laptop to get better volume. Of course that won't help with the fact that it echos, reverbs and loops all the time, LOL. TIA.
