I realize the game doesn't start for another hour or so, but I'm just wondering if anyone else gets the same error message I do? RealPlayer cannot play this type of document. play.rbn.com/?realone/ocsn/gu/open/live/video-gu-mbasket-031605-225k.rmI am at work, so I could be having a firewall issue, although I think my attempts to access at home also yielded a similar error message. Thanks |

I get nothing when I do the direct link. When I go to it through the GUHoyas site the popup comes up and loads a 5 second clip that's just the real player logo in the window.

I get a recording saying the event hasn't begun yet. Which is true, so hopefully nothing to worry about. GUhoyas better not screw this up...

Someone please get back to me on this because i am a technological imbecile....help. There is a free version of RealPlayer available from their website (its sometimes hard to find on the linked page since they obviously want to push their "premium" product with extra features). As far as I know, the free version should work just fine. Also, thanks for the feedback from other folks - I'm now getting that message about the event not having begun yet. |

Yeah, you shouldn't have to give credit card info.

I just clicked on the link and got an audio message that the event hasn't started yet, but please check back later.
It sounds and looks like it is going to work
OF course the picture is only a few inches across and a few inches tall.
Not the entire screen, or anything close.
I am accessing via cable modem... broadband.

Yeah, you shouldn't have to give credit card info. Unless you inadvertently click on the more prominent links on their page trying to suck you into Gold/Premium versions. Just keep looking for links to Realplayer Basic or free version on any page. The free version doesn't require credit card info - if you get that then you found your way inadvertently (as far as you're concerned - intentionally from the perspective of Real when they designed it) into an upgraded pay version's download page. |

Right click on the small screen and select "play in theatre mode" then select view-zoom-full screen and expand the window.
There you go SirSaxa!

you can right click on the REAL Player application and change it to 'Real Player Theater Mode'... gives you a full screen view rather than the tiny box... (Just started a new thread with this, but noticed you are active on this one...)

It's been soooo long since I actually saw warm ups. I love it. Too bad they cut back to the NIT screen.

Got cut off in the middle of Hey Ya and now I get the event has yet to start message. They must've just been checking out their setup.
