Don't like the fact that faces are made up of 5 pixels.

I feel ill when the camera moves too fast. When it's still, it's just about ok. The kaleidescope quilt had no clarity in it at all until the last second when the camera stopped and the spiral quilting appeared.

I tried watching in the slower format but after the 25th stop to gather information during the main segment, I gave up.

That's two shows I've not enjoyed. It could still be my end though, don't know how but... :?



I am not sure about your hook up and format but I find when I went to a video site with my old computer I had to let things load for a while before watching the videos..... I hooked up ... went and made a cup of coffee or tea, got a snack then settled into watch.

I know my hubby has to do this when he watches the tv shows on HULA. He just loads the shows for 10-15 minuets then comes back to the feed. He says it loads the rest in the background while he is watching the tv shows.... they have less commercials too...something he actually misses cause those were his get a snack break times.

I had the problems as rgold...so jerky it is not watchable and I have a brand new PC with a quad processor and 4 gig of memory. I don't think it's the PC...I think it is my internet provider, hughesnet. They claim to be high speed, but are not much better than dial-up. They can get away with that because us rural folks have no other option. I never had any problems with the previous system.

I have Hughes Net too... I am very disappointed with them especially with the FAIR USEAGE LIMITATIONS... I would have to get up at 2am to be able to see the shows... my poor body just can not do it.

Amanda, I have no problems, and my connection is a BT medium price range broadband, plus a 5 year old computer, and we are in the same country.

New format for viewing shows 25 Feb 2010 19:02 #43885

Thank you!

I never would have stumbled on that on my own.

I also didn't understand what some were saying about the full screen. Now I know!

Thanks again!

Just move your mouse a bit and a bar will come up across the bottom of the screen where you can pause, or move forward or backward in the show.

I feel like I have missed some important instructions on using the new format.

Is there a way to pause the show? I always get interrupted when I watch a show. I have to have a pause button! Or a way to reverse to where I lost my place and go forward from there!

Thanks!

I am finally getting a chance to watch the Carol Doak show, and I am not happy with the new format. I get to watch a few seconds of the show, then everything stops for a few seconds to let the next bit read it. It is taking an two hours to watch a one hour show. When the show stops in mid-word, I miss words. I can not just stop the play and let it read in (I can do this on other sites). Any suggestions?

Hi Capt'n John, I tried viewing a few minutes of the new show this morning, and this time it looks just fine! Visual and audio nicely sync'd up. And I even tried on full-screen (I have a 22-inch screen). Lovely! So, evidently my problems were with my Internet service somehow. Thanks, Robin

I LOVE, LOVE ,LOVE the new format. I have a Mac and it worked fine.
I was hooking my old laptop to my tv to see the shows but don't have the hookup for this one yet. It will be amazing when I do.
Is everyone remembering to download they recommended?
I hope we keep this format. The older shows are not going to be able to be switched to the new format? That would be nice.

My computer is several years old, and the show was just fine with DSL. I'm so glad I needed a new monitor awhile back, because it made the picture even better. When I first signed up for TQS, we had Hughes satellite and I'd have to get up in the wee hours of the morning to get even a half-way decent speed to watch the shows, and even then it came through jerky. Needless to say I was thrilled when we got DSL out our way, which is a rural area. Fi in No. CA
