Big Brother 7: All-stars ***SPOILER Thread***

[gypsydoodlebug]

OK, got this info on fixing the sound problem from Morty's site.. It took a couple minutes,but it worked...My sound is perfect now..This is a copy and paste

Hey all

Ok, I called Real today and talked to their tech support. I am posting what they had me do (it has solved my problems with both video and sound, except I can only watch in LO mode, HI still has choppy video). Hopefully this will help some others and you won;t have to sit on hold for 45 minutes to talk to someone

Please note that I am using Windows XP and have a high speed cable connection and a wireless router.

In Real Player:

Click Tools ---> Preferences
On the left side click on Connection.
On the right
For Normal change the setting to DSL/Cable (256 kbps)
For Maximum choose DSL/Cable (768 kbps)

below that add 20 seconds to each of the 2 boxes. Mine was set at 20 and 90, so now they are 40 and 110.

at the bottom make sure the box next to Assume I am online is marked

Then back on the left choose Proxy. Make sure that all 3 lines in the box say No proxy specified.

Back on the left choose Network Transports

On the right, check the box next to Manually configure settings.
Click on RTSP settings and UNCHECK the first three boxes, leave the last one checked. Click ok
Do the same thing for PNA settings

Click ok to close the preferences box and then close and restart RealPlayer.

It worked for me and now I finally can watch what is going on. Hope it maybe helps someone else.

TY, Jenny! Hopefully, this helps my sound issues.

Are they not alllowed to sing or do they just want Howie to stop?

 

[Stephieann]

Are they not alllowed to sing or do they just want Howie to stop?

they can sing just nothing that is copyright. if CBS do not have the rights to the song the HG can not sing it on cam. I think that is why. seems like i heard that several seasons ago

 

[Stephieann]

howie cracks me up with that hotterwer and hotterwer

 

[Good Ol Gal]

I'm back from work and I want to watch the feeds!!

I really, really shouldn't I have to be at work at 745 am.

 

[Stephieann]

Hi Kliz

 

[Good Ol Gal]

Will is sitting around talking to the cameras asking the viewers to "send banner planes! Lots of them! Even if BB puts us on lockdown, I'll run out and read it and get everyone to say it" "You'll make thousands and thousands in advertisers fees."

that is one thing I don't like about this season so far, they seem to be talking to the live feeders. Some have even said stuff to throw us off.

Janelle said that she hurt her leg in the competition and it's swelling up.

 

[Stephieann]

awww poor janie! NOT!

 

[artvandelay]

Anyone notice how quiet Jase is being this time. Very low key, under the radar.

[Microbio]

I to have the live feeds and they just stink! They are so choppy ..I did try what you mentioned Jenny, It did not work for me. I tried it twice.

I hope they do not think I will pay for "choppy"!

 

[Stephieann]

usually takes a few to get all the bugs worked out. i think they started like that last season and got better!

 

[Michelina]

I tried the suggestions for better video and it actually made it worse .
I switched back to the old settings of T1 and LAN connections and it made it better.

Read this on Silly Hamsters blog, it seemed to help a lot with the sound quality:
Tip: How to enjoy the best sound when watching Big Brother LIVE feeds

Heard about this yesterday in the live feed chat room:

To enjoy dramatically improved sound when watching the Big Brother 24/7 live feeds, just follow these easy steps.

In your RealPlayer, in the menu at the top right of the player:
<li>Select "Tools"
<li>Select "Equalizer"
<li>In the pull down menu for "Settings", select "Voice" Try it out, it really works! YEAH BABY!

 

[Stephieann]

OK what is the freaking purpose. Janelle is outside with short shorts on with a long sleeve shirt in the middle of the day!

 

[Stephieann]

[Good Ol Gal]
