I'm getting everything working with Hotspot too! So relieved because I didnt have the feeds last year but managed to get them for BB11 on realplayer and think this year is going to be fab! |

The problem I have with Hotspot sheild is that although it lets me play videos outside of this region, it slows down my normal internet browsing, and in some cases doesn't load websites at all.

OK, I'm really confused now.
I've just watched the Pre-Season interviews and bits of BB12 Flashback without using either a VPN or Hotspot Shield! It worked fine. Have Superpass removed the geo-blocking? Is it some by-product of them rejigging their site? Or just some temporary thing? Guess we'll have to wait until the live feed proper starts to find out. It'll be good if it's going to work OK, especially as it's looking less likely that we'll get live feed with BBUK this year. |

Wondering if it's worth the risk to subscribe....at least for the 3-day free trial to see the feeds come on.
Updated my Hotspot Shield to v2.06 which I would recommend. (works at CBS) |

Hmm, if they've stopped the geo-blocking I'd subscribe, but today is the last day of the Early Bird special and I don't want to risk buying it if it is going to be blocked again tomorrow!

This means your Laura is definitely one of the secret pairs.
![]() Seriously though, wouldn't it have been amazing if Jeff got, like, got struck by lightning or something, and they brought Laura back. I'm genuinely still disappointed she didn't make it very far at all.

There is a 3 days trial which you could have tried first, I got it today well yesterday and if the live feeds fail on me due to geo-blocking I will cancel after the 3 days free-trail ends on Friday.

Thanks.
![]() Can someone with Superpass log in, and then go to this website: http://junketdrawer.com/b3vviewer/he...perviewer.html Because if the sample videos are playing on that site (without the use of a VPN or Hotspot Shield) then it probably means the live feeds are no longer geo-blocked. |

With my VPN it works and show the test card. Hang on while I try with Hotspot Shield. edit - it shows the video OK |

If I connect with no IP-cloaker it gives a black screen.

Thanks for doing that.
So it seems the actual feeds will still be geo-blocked, as they are run through a different feed than the pre-show interviews and Flashback feature. Lucy's idea of doing the 3-day trial then cancelling if necessary seems good though. My impression of the latest Hotspot Shield does a better job (maybe to satisfy Hulu users), but also superimposes more pesky ads. |

Just signed up and get a black screen with and without Hotspot.
Flashbacks not working for me but the clips work anyway without Hotspot. Flashbacks should be working so something at my end it seems. |

Tried today and it's working with Hotspot.
Edit: although subsequent attempts have failed. ![]() Edit again: Ok, well it really depends on what VPN IP I'm assigned. Some work, some don't. |

I am having a bit of a dilemma. To sort out a new VPN and relax back, but knowing I am paying, or to stick with hotspot and see if it works later and then if it doesn't, rush around trying to find one that works.

There's an update for the BBLite viewer already.
No point trying to experiment with the live feed as it won't be turned on until the Launch show has aired on the West Coast - 6am BST ! The "Live Feeds" tab will go live on SuperPass at 5am BST, next to the "Live Interviews" tab. I've just had a snooze to get my strength up! |

Chelsia's note
Hey guys, I'm still getting a BUNCH of questions about the bblf's tab on SuperPass and mobile apps. I would love you forever if you could help me communicate this out: - The "Live Feeds" tab will go live on SuperPass at 9pm PT/12am ET. It will be next to the "Live Interviews" tab. - You will be able to access the live feeds on your iPhone/iPad at 9pm PT/12am ET. We will not have any more info until then. - The mobile android app will not go live until 9pm PT/12am ET. It is called "Big Brother" but we won't have any more info until then. They can also check cbs.com for more info. - The live feeds will start at 10pm PT/1am ET after the live show airs on CBS on the WEST COAST. This is also a great reference: http://superpass.custhelp.com/app/an...me/Big+Brother Y'all ROCK! Keep kicking ass! Happy BB13! -Chelsia |
