There's a way for everyone to enjoy the Starz! Movie Channel for FREE! on your home computer. It's a great way to catch some great movies you've missed at no extra charge. Whatever is playing on the actual channel will be playing on your computer with this one link. It's great, and I plan to use it. You all should too. First of all, I'd recommend a broadband connection. Dial-up people might not have the best quality. Also, it requires Real Player. If you don't have RealPlayer, download it from here, free of charge.

RealPlayer 10: http://www.download.com/RealPlayer/3000 ... 55189.html

Once you have that, just enter this link into your address bar, and it'll automatically open RealPlayer and start connecting you to the Starz! Channel stream. Once you have done this, you'll see what's currently playing on the channel. For me, it comes a little distorted the first minute or so, but just wait, and the picture will become crystal clear, as will the sound.

Maybe soon, we can all watch the same movie one Saturday night. Ya know, a razzie winner or something. :razz:

Enjoy! :wink:

Cool! I'm not getting the best quality. The picture and sound are great, but the images go from one shot to another without movement...and I have broadband. :???:

I don't know, I tried it (yes, I have the right version of RealPlayer), and nothing came up after a good 5-10 minutes.

Am I doing something wrong?

I'm 'watching' Freaky ?Friday right now. It's in black and white (which I can tolerate) and it's in full screen (which I can BARELY tolerate) but my streaming is, apparently, very bad. I get a new picture every 15 seconds or so.

EDIT: I reloaded it, and now it's in color. Still don't have any decent streaming.

Try the following, Libs.

Open RealPlayer. Go to file and then to open. Copy/Paste the following: http://play.rbn.com/?url=realone/starz/ ... twidth=330

You should see Freaky Friday :razz:

sommie, maybe the quality's bad because we've all been watching it. I don't think Starz! Ticket has many customers as it is...

Freaky Friday is now on.


But can't watch it unforunately. I'm getting more of a sloooow slide show of pictures than a stream.

Same for me, except mine's in color.

That happened to me too. After a minute of two, mine was fine.

The stream speed/req. is like 600 kbps. Sooo...

Or your alls cheap ass's could just get the subscription :wink:

Sooo...what does that mean? :razz:

Perfect Picture and sound!

Wow... This is pretty cool. \:D/

*edit* it goes out every 2 minutes though...

Well, I got the movie (in color) and audio.

But the picture doesn't move. I'll give it some time.

:-/

I went into Playback Statistics. I'm recieving an average of 76ish kbps. Ouch.

Working good for me, I paused for like 5 minutes, then the playback was perfect after a slight distortation

It's encoded at 600 kbps. If you're internet connection isn't that fast, chances are you aren't going to receive the feed very well.

I'm averaging around 560...It'd be nice if you guys can all check: Tools-Playback Statistics

Okay, it's working perfect for me now.

i got the same problem as Libs, im going to try to do what hans did!

Ave. of 480

Turning off messaging services helps a bit

it isnt working ....

you can download the upcoming movies?!?!

...............:evil: i got this message: Outside Geographic Boundaries, STARZ! Ticket on Real Movies is only available in the United States.
We detect that you are you are accessing this service from outside the United States.

bleh!!!

Same here. :grin:

I'm averaging about 230, but it's going at normal speed.

No, you can only download the upcoming movies IF you have Starz! Ticket. That's what I have (er...the trial). The Starz! channel stream is part of the package for the $13 or so a month (crappy service. unless you want the stream once it's "privatized" it isn't worth it).

The stream works for anyone. The movie downloading (if you've paid!) only works for people in the US.
