The Feeds Are Live!

Dishers, we have lift off!

The high speed feeds are now accessible from the Launch Pad here on BBDish.

The image to the left is what currently appears on the Quad View.

Feed 1 is Nasa, Feed 2 is Cspan...

OK, so it's not quite BB yet, but it soon will be! :)

And a dishchick can always hope in vain for a glitch from the BB Control Booth that allows us all an early peak inside the house, right?!

The launch pad is on the left side bar, just a little way down, and it'll only work if you've already signed up for the feeds.

Enjoy!

  1. How can I access this? I have the feeds for the first time this season and am still learning how to navigate RealPlayer... Anyway you could help walk me through it? Thanks! So excited...

  2. Hi Joy :)

    Just look to the left of the picture of Janelle, where it says "Launch the Live Feeds," then click on the fast ones. :) 1-2-3-4-Q All will work just fine. :)


    Everyone else -

    G'nite Dishers! :) I'll be back to publish comments in the morning.

  3. SO AWESOME! How cool is it that you can adjust all video controls; hue, contrast, brightness, sharpness, etc…

    This is my 1st year w feeds. Will the superpass site have the flashback controls?

    I am so stoked!

    & radical that BBDish is one-stop BigBrother shopping

  4. I'm going to get the feeds by Wednesday. Does it matter where we sign up at? Does it help you if we sign up through your site?

    Goodnite Carolyn :)

  5. Thanks Carolyn, that worked. Just wondering, is there a way to launch them from RealPlayer itself? (I have RP downloaded onto my comp.)

    ReplyDelete
  6. I see no pic of Janelle and no links. I even went in and made sure my Superpass account was still active. What am I missing??

    ReplyDelete
  7. Oh my........I'm quivering with excitement!!!! The live feeds are up. But how on earth do you have them, Carolyn? They aren't showing up on my RealPlayer yet, I can currently only access through your links. Which is just fine!!!! I'm more than happy to go through your website!!!

    ReplyDelete

  9. Where am I suppose to go to see Janelle to click? I don't see her under real player BB tab?

    ReplyDelete
  10. NM, I found the links... I just had to read closer, I was too excited to read :)

    ReplyDelete
  11. Hey Carolyn! I'm new to the feeds this year and i was able to launch them, but i was not sure how to change it to split screen or any of the other feeds... Could you help me? Thanks so much!!!

    ReplyDelete
  12. ...they still aren't reachable if going straight through the realplayer...correct?

    ReplyDelete
  13. That was a little mean Carolyn! lol

    I would love to see live feeds before the first show. That would probably be the best viewing!

    Thanks for all the info girl. Can't wait to find out the truth. And truuuuuly hope the Jesse rumor is just that, a rumor.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I just ordered the feeds!! I CAN'T WAIT!!! WOOT!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Interesting! The empty HG on the CBS website is now stating reveal on July 9th! I guess the read BBDish and knew we all found their error, darn it!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Becca Thank you for asking.

    It definitely matters where you sign up & it absolutely helps if you sign up through the links here on BBDish.

    The live feed signups are how we keep doing what we do.

  17. oksy, so, I think the live feeds are gonna work for me since I can see the quad view by following the link on sidebar..can also watch the other channels, but how do I switch from quad to one of the other views? Where are all these super duper controls we are supposed to have? I've clicked on everything in the toolbar on RP and am just not finding how to switch views, not to mention the really cool flashback feature we've been hearing about...will this stuff show up once the feeds are truly live or is there some setting I need to adjust on my end? Anyone?

    ReplyDelete
  18. I just signed up for this season and took a gander at my account. Wow, I've been watching the feeds since 2005 - really funny to see that.

  19. Hey Everyone!

    Unsolicited advertisement for Carolyn.

    Yeah, use her click through's. That's how she ekes out a living so she can provide us this awesome blog for FREE.

    Click through's and donations!! Don't ask me how she does it year after year, I'm in awe (and almost resent her for what a great job she does, cause I never get anything else done in the summer!)

    ReplyDelete
  20. Woho, I got the feeds!!! Now I'll have to figure out how to use it, as I've never been a big fan of the feeds, just your website Carolyn!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Morning, just got done reading through all the posts to catch up.

    Jesse?! Please not that whiner again. I can see him wanting another 15 minutes but man we don't want him. He gets to be HOH? That seems kind of unfair to the rest of them. I really wish they would let the new people play their game and keep the old ones out. They can come in as hosts but that's it. Oh well, what ya gonna do, right.

  22. Debi - I'm soooo glad to hear they're working for you! :)

    Think of the launch pad as a secret entrance for right now...

    As far as the improvements go, you wont be able to see those from the launch pad right now- only from inside superpass once the feeds Officially go live. :)

    For right now, the launch pad is just for a sneak peek and hopefully a leak!

    In terms of switching views, just for now, click each of the feeds individually from the launch pad, then check where it says "File" and you'll see the different feeds listed there, and you can switch between em.

  23. Krista in AZ - Thanks!! :) I think you're gonna love em!

    ReplyDelete
  24. ok i just finished my free video game of the month. still bb feeds not up? i guess i finished it to quick! since the HGs are in play they wont see a bit of world hype about MJs memorial

    ReplyDelete
  25. I assume there will be a more user-friendly control panel directly on RealPlayer?

    It's funny, every year I get the feeds and every year I find it cumbersome to get to where I'm going again. I always have to relearn. Real Player's navigation never makes much sense.

    ReplyDelete
  26. David - lol :) I'm glad you're enjoying the bonus features! You can launch the feeds from the Launch Pad here on bbdish, ya know. :) The do occasionally offer a quick glimpse inside - whether it's an oops, a test, or a way to generate more buzz...

    ReplyDelete
  27. Hi Todd :)

    Real can't be blamed for what you're seeing now.. It's a back door entrance, and not what you'll be seeing once the feeds officially go live. :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. All this live feed chit chat has my adrenaline surging!!!

    Can't wait for them to "go live" on Thursday..........

    ReplyDelete
  29. How exciting! It's getting closer and closer!

    Just stopping by to say hello!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Carolyn, When the feeds go live do you get credit if we log in from your site? I always log in from my icon on my desktop.
    I will change how I log on if you get credit. This is the best blog ever.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Thanks, Caro! I can't wait until Thursday!

    BTW, I'm going to be on the road Thursday evening. I will have my laptop and computer access though, so...where, on the internet is the best place to watch BB, the tv show?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Kevin - Sorry for the delay in response!

    Yes :) The superpass site will have all the goodies - The Launch pad here on bbdish is just for a sneak peek at what's happening on the feeds now, before they go live to the public.

    Thank you!! :)


    BigWigg That's so sweet of you to ask. I wish!!

    I get credit when people use the links on my site to sign up for the feeds.

    The launch pad is just a service... :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Debi - generally speaking... that would be here. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Mmmmm Mmmmmm! Blue sure looks good in red doesn't he? You would think that would turn him purple. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

    :o)

    ReplyDelete
  35. What time will the feeds go live on Thursday? I don't really need an exact time(I know you probably don't have one anyway. lol) I'm just looking for a ballpark time. I'm going to a taping of "So You Think You Can Dance", but if the feeds start right after the show is over I might skip it. :P

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hi everyone!

    I am so bummed that I can't get the feeds. I have been out of work for over a year and just can't afford it. The up-side is that I have Carolyn, the dish chicks and all of you! Once again I will be here many, many times a day to check in and see what's going on!

    Thanks everyone for all that you do! Especially YOU Carolyn!

    I am so excited!!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Doh! of course! What was I thinking?!!! LOL Well, I'll be here!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I don't know how I am going to do my real job for the next 3 months!!!! Yikes!!

  42. Anon & Godzzla & Anyone else who needs a hand with the launch pad :)

    1. Go to the front page of the blog: http://bbdish.blogspot.com

    2. Scroll down, keeping an eye on the left sidebar.

    3. You'll pass by Dishy Links, Stay Connected, and Get the Feeds, and then you'll see...

    3. It's the 4th category on the left sidebar... "Launch the BB11 Live Feeds"

    4. Choose only from the High Speed options. The low speed ones aren't working yet.

    5. Enjoy Nasa,CSPAN & whatever else they've got on, including, ever so hopefully, the occasional oopsie glimpse. :)

  43. Hi all!
    I am SO SO SO excited about BB11! Carolyn, thank you so much for all you do! I would be so lost in BB world without you! I stumbled upon your blog during BB8 and have been a loyal follower ever since, even though this is my first comment.

    I am very excited about this season. I am quite confident that it will be a wonderful expierence for all involved!

    I also think that someone is toying with us. Personally, i think it makes the season much more fun; With all the speculation and such!

    Again Carolyn THANK YOU! i dont know what i would do all day at work without you!
    I hope everyone is ready for Thursday! I know I am!

    XOXO
    *H*O*B*B*

  44. I am so glad I got rid of my job at the grocery store. More time for the feeds! at home, at work at the library, okay 45 minutes of cleaning work in the evening. i should be able to handle 45 minutes feed downtime? BBdish mobile updates on the cellphone of course!

    ReplyDelete
  45. HookedOnBB - Thank you so much!! :) What a sweetie you are! I'm so glad you've decided to join in the comments section this season!!! :)

    David hehehe :) Spoken like a true addict. :) Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  46. well actually i quit my grocery store job for more time guitar practicing/teaching but i can handle playing guitar with the feeds on. teaching doesn't start till sept.

    ReplyDelete
  47. thank you, i'm just so excited about my favorite show!

  48. Real's about to do a test run of BBExpress Lunch - Spark up the feeds!! :)

    NOT from the launch pad -

    The Real Feeds!!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I still have CSPAN on my feeds. :(

    ReplyDelete
  50. I do too!

    I recommend going through Superpass (not the launch pad here) directly to find BBExpressLunch - If Real's advertising it, it ought to be there.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Hey Carolyn! I've been following your site very closely for a few seasons and I am completely hooked! :)

    Does the feeds have closed-captioning or subtitles?

    Thanks!

  53. Well it's great that you guys who have the feeds somehow have CSPAN and NASA. I am still seeing the BB1o highlights. How do I get to see what you guys are seeing on my Real Player? I have Superpass and everything. It's not showing CSPAN or NASA just BB10 ...


    bummed :(

    ReplyDelete
  54. Carolyn,
    I want to buy the feeds for the first time. I'm Canadian and I'm on a mac, so which one of your links would be more correct? (You are the only site I've seen that gives this choice.)

    Is there a difference between what mac users and/or Canadian users will see?

    Thanks for any input.

  56. Caryn - Actually, the normal links should work just fine for you now. :) Those links are left over from last season. (lol, one more thing on my to do list)

    Melissa - Hmm. They don't come standard with closed captioning, but it's certainly worth investigating!! I'll ask! :)

  57. Heres the thing tho, jessie godderz made facebook poste just yesterdai?

  60. Ok thanks! Dont forget to let me know! :-)

  61. Melissa - I have an email out to someone there. Please message me on facebook, facebook.com/bbdish, so you don't have to try to remember which post you asked the question in. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  62. heck, I remember feeds on dial up connection. At the time I thought it was just so cool to get a feed, even as choppy as it was.. (season 2)
    Its so very high tech now...;)

    ReplyDelete
  63. Blue's wearing red. IndigoPrince has red hair in his avatar. I think red is hot. That in itself is enough to keep me coming back. Of course there is also Carolyn RepX and all the other wonderful people here.

    I'm babbling to keep from cussing about yesterdays leaks and the disgust I feel about who is in the house. If I weren't so addicted I would cancel my feeds and say cya next year, but everyone knows I can't do that.

    OK, I vented. I didn't whine did I? :-p~

    :o)

  64. When do the feeds turn on?

    Just ordered them through your site!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Okey dokey! Just sent you a FB friend request! :)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Carolyn, I need your help! I signed up for the feeds and it takes me to the superpass site for BB with the yellow background. Once I am there how do i see the split screen view of the live feed inside the house? Thanks for your help!
    Alex

    ReplyDelete
  67. You must be extra special or something, Carolyn(well, special to more people than just us dishers. lol)! I don't have an option for the feeds in my superpass at all. I guess I'll just wait for Thursday. Do you guys usually meet here when the feeds go live?
