They were just saying how the feeds via the browser are so much better and easier than through Real Player... I beg to differ

I'm watching in IE without any extras no probs...just that the quality is a bit bad (out of sync) etc.

I hope I can at least watch the feeds this way.

So if the feeds end up working without any Hotspot Shield or anything, then do you reckon Real would allow me to subscribe again for the reduced price?

I'm not ordering again now, because I've already ordered twice and cancelled. But if when the feeds start I find out that they are working with no problems, Real should still give me the cut price because it would have been their mistake for telling me that the feeds won't be available for countries outside the US.

I saw a tweet that you can still buy the feeds for a reduced price until Midnight Pacific.

That's midnight tonight though right? I think the offer ends 7th July, which is obviously today.

I'm not ordering again without knowing that the feeds are definitely working.

Thanks If they're offline it probably explains why I couldn't find the tab.

USA forums hot with indignation that the live stream isn't working yet. Can't see why - as long as it's working in the morning that's all that matters.

The flashback works on jokersupdate.

I hope we'll still be able to watch live feeds on realplayer...streaming in a browser will be a mess.

So I'm here complaining to Real about the geo block... And do you know what the assistance guy said? "Use a proxy"

I think it's 3 days after you bought them. I get billed today I think - I thought the trial started from the first day of feeds when I was buying them.

I think that the feeds will work though. I was getting the WBRB screen yesterday on the feeds page, using Hotspot. And I agree that it'd be great if we had the option to stream through realplayer, I think it would be more handy. Hotspot might not even be required if we can, because flashback (which plays on realplayer) seems to work for some people without it.

So I'm here complaining to Real about the geo block... And do you know what the assistance guy said? "Use a proxy"
lol! This just makes it even more silly. They obviously like the fact that people from other countries want to pay for their service, so why on earth do they make it much more difficult for them pay? I hope they make less money from it this year so maybe they'll consider lifting the geo-block next time.

Thanks. What is the benefit of downloading hotspot shield for livefeeds? Also can you post the direct link so i don't use a dodgy version.

I downloaded it from the link SBBA gave here:

Join at http://www.real.com/superpass/bigbrother
Go to
http://anchorfree.com/
Download and install Hotspot Shield (free)
Connect with it, then go to Superpass site

Works fine. I'm watching the pre-season interviews now.
Hotspot Shield should help get past the geo-blocking, but I don't think it's worked for everyone. You can try it out with the pre-season interviews on Superpass and see if those work for you.

I had the same...but just now I installed Hotspot Shield and once it connected, the feeds came to life with FISH and the theme music.

That's what I get too, when I'm not using Hotspot I have the pic of a man digging. But then the 'We'll Be Right Back' screen comes up instead with the music when I connect Hotspot Shield.

By FISH I mean floating multicoloured bubbles and "We'll Be Right Back message"

I just looked at the Hotspot Shield FAQ. There's a 5GB bandwidth limit per month per user so I think it has to be used sparingly. I can easily stream 5GB in a day

Oh heck that's not very much at all. I usually have streaming on from mid evening until early morning.

Is there something else we can use or do?

I now have the 4 streams with bubbles, but it's not very big is it. I had to put it on my daughter's old lappy, as using hotspot stopped my UK stream running.
