Hi

Does anyone know anything about when E4 will start to shown BBUSA? I believe I heard that they have picked up the rights again but I hope they won't just do a catch up weekend like they did after our BB finished last year. By my reckoning, we'll have missed about a month of action in the BBUSA house by the time BBUK finishes. However, I reckon that's what we'll be stuck with

Any news?

We had missed about 3 weeks last time I think so missing a month probably wont be sooo bad...

Why can't they just time shift it by a month after BB UK ends (instead of the 5 hours or so it was last year)?

The first couple of weeks of BB USA are scheduled in such a way that some weeks only two episodes air, so it won't take long to catch up.

I imagine E4 will just screen the episodes this year, and I don't see any reason why they couldn't screen the second and third series as well following the fifth series.

Episodes I'm not sure about, but http://www.welovebigbrother.com and http://www.mortystv.com/big_brother.shtml are both very good for clips of the key events.

Thanks I have another address that may be useful. Anyone who wants it should send me a PM.

Just looking at that second link. It says 3 hours and 15 mins til BB5 starts. Surely it doesn't start at 8pm UK time? I thought it was 9pm in America?

Hi StuL, Let me clarify a few points:

-- Right now they're showing the FISH CAM on the LIVE FEEDS for the "QUAD CAM" (which will have 4 different views inside the BB house) with the soothing sound of bubbles on the audio. It's really cool! See this screencap at jokersupdates.com:

http://www.jokersupdates.com/ubbthre...mrd=1089150148

These are the URLS for each of the cameras - but you need to get REAL SuperPass (which has a 3 day FREE trial) to get the live feeds here:

http://www.real.com/partners/bigbrot...rc=247mainpage

rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb5_live&url=cam1_225.rm&rnrtspmethod=a
rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb5_live&url=cam2_225.rm&rnrtspmethod=a
rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb5_live&url=cam3_225.rm&rnrtspmethod=a
rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb5_live&url=cam4_225.rm&rnrtspmethod=a
rtsp://start.real.com/rd?pid=bb5_live&url=quad_225.rm&rnrtspmethod=a

This is the large actual shark & fish aquarium that's been installed in the new in the BB5 House. Hopefully, they'll show this (instead of that horrible FOTH=Front Of The House) with the BB theme playing in an endless loop when they have to temporarily break away from the HouseGuests.

-- The CBS special 90 minute premier of BB5 USA airs tonight at 8:00 PM (Eastern USA Time) which will be followed the the 90 minute premier of the new season of The Amazing Race 5.

-- The LIVE FEEDS officially will be shown commencing tonite (July 6) at 9:30 PM (Pacific Time) -- (12:30 AM Eastern Time) in the US.

Thanks for the info mate

Was I the only person who liked the BBUSA theme music last year? I thought it was cool and hope they use the same again

Am hoping to get my hands on the episode that will be shown tonight from a website. Can't wait a whole month for E4 to show it!

Only half way though the show and I am really enjoying it.

The feed is not too bad quality wise, but then I do have loads of browsers etc open at same time.

I emailed C4/E4 and 'there is currently no plans to show BB USA 5 on any of Four's channels'.

So that means they probably are, but they are arguing over the price!!!

if this is for the first show, is the first part missing? ie them entering the house.

and will you be able to post the links for future episodes as they are shown, or do you know where I can find them?

and I find it interesting that the cbs.com/bigbrother site has 16 squares in the housemate table, but only 13 housemates!!!! suspicious!!!!

The shows are on the link I gave on the following days: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. They come on at 1am or 2am our time. There is a tv guide for that tv station here:

Brilliant link Mirage

Stupid to ask really - just wanna make sure this is gonna be available all the way through. What exactly is this link - I mean is it available through front of house or is it a less formalised approach to online tv .

There should be a .torrent and a version on the newsgroups (alt.binaries.tv.big-brother) sooner or later... there's already one for Amazing Race, I'm assuming BB has a capper this year.

The link seems to be a satellite intercept of a CBS feed from ohio - it has commercials cut from it just broadcasting programming, but does broadcast Ohio opt-out programming... I use it for 60minutes and breaking news coverage.

A torrent is now available if you look in the "supr nova" organisation... (that's a hint )

We can't post the link for legal reasons.
