The Real Superpass FAQ said that they don't accept prepaid cards since they check the card address and prepaid cards don't have addresses. Can someone who has used one in the past explain how they avoided this problem? I would like to use one if it is possible. just put the value you want to spend on the prepaid card...usually they'll take a few cents out of one's account at first (meaning your prepaid card) just to make sure it's active. Try it with a few bucks at first and make sure it works. Their verification process is non-existent. Real's system is shit. Take advantage of it. I wish I took my own advice...I got an email yesterday about how they double charged me on my legit card, and then refunded me, but now I have to call and make sure that's the case...so annoying.

The Yuku elves must be busy polishing our special avis so diligently that it's taking a while, right? When our avis finally reappear, they will be all sparkle-y and bright! ::blows tdug a kiss::

I haven't done used a prepaid card myself, but I remember someone talking about doing it. They said they had to register an address through some web site (the card issuer's web site) and then it worked fine with superpass. Katled, I got the same email. It's pretty annoying. Superpass is not off to a good start.

The printed page gives the instructions on how to download it that do not show up on the web page. Help please - any suggestions. A try with anti-virus turned off didn't work. And a click on something said that Google's link was from July 30th but checking 'properties' the page said it was from today.

BBLite's website is: http://www.bigbrotherlite.com/ Below the picture of the wet caveman, you should see the following: Available for download during the week of the premiere. (Real has not been cooperating with us as much as they originally indicated) So it looks like they're indicating they're not ready to release the program to the general public for download a this point -- we'll have to keep checking their website for updates as the premiere approaches and prior to the feeds going live.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought I was missing something when the printed version included the information on how to download it. I've never run into the situation before where what I saw on the screen had more information when printed.

Posts: 4380 07/04/11 03:38 PM More Recent Posts	The BBlite facebook gives more up to date info: Bigbrother Lite We have got BB Lite working with this year's live feeds.. all without Real's help or support (they haven't given us much at all). It will be available for download during the week of the premiere. :) Please feel free to share. June 25 at 9:03pm Bigbrother Lite If we added one click video recording (start/stop) to .MP4 format as a paid for add-on, would you want it? 18 hours ago Personally, I'm a little worried about only being able to download the player right before the feeds start. Hopefully, "during the week of the premiere" means tomorrow or Wednesday.

Hopefully, "during the week of the premiere" means tomorrow or Wednesday. The problem is that until Superpass opens the BB feeds viewing section of superpass you don't know what they have done that you need to support. Last season I wrote that B3V player a few weeks in advance but then when the feed page became a available, we learned it was a completely different video streaming system than the rest of Superpass uses and I basically had to rush back to rewrite it. That's why they usually don't come out until a few days before the feeds, you don't know for sure if it will work with last minute tweaks by real. Sounds like BBLite has had access to Superpass's beta site and probably has a lot of those kind of changes done, but I know Real was still rushing to get things done just a week or two ago so who knows what will actually be there when they release the feed pages. You'd think 9 months was plenty of time for Real to get their shit ready for the next season but apparently not.

For those of us who have used Blistering's viewer or BBLite or whatever other alternative viewers there might be -- you may be stuck using the Real website initially while the alternatives get their stuff worked out

Posts: 11148 07/05/11 03:25 PM Registered user More Recent Posts	Superpass is supposed to be turning on the BB feed pages today i think. As soon as they do, whenever that is, I'll take a look and see what changes are required. If the changes to the streaming system aren't too crazy, should have any update before the premiere.
