Got this email from ibvpn

Dear xxxx xxxxx,

Ready for media streaming with no speed or reliability loss? We hope you are, 'cause we're adding a "little extra" for FREE to your ibVPN subscription.

It's called ibDNS and it's a service that unblocks geo-restricted websites with NO speed or reliability loss in terms of connection. So, with ibDNS (Beta) the speed you get is the actual speed of your regular internet connection.

To learn more about this service and enable it for free, please click here. Since we’re still in Beta with this service, we’re looking forward to hear from you and your experience with our ibDNS (Beta).

Happy Media Streaming,

Best regards,
ibVPN Team

Could be of interest for BB Canada & US, and very cheap.
I hope it works properly, I found IBVPN to be quite irritating for this year's US streaming with lots of that circle with 'loading' underneath it.. eventually settled for an *ahem* alternative streaming source.

BB Canada update
http://bigbrotheraccess.com/big-brot...update-354843/

Unclear about 24/7 live streaming. Streaming from 2am EST (7am BST), so it might be something to watching while we're eating our cornflakes!

Yeah Im thinking this way aswell. Will check out the CBB launch while still on holiday but after that I think I will give up on it. Whats the point now when we have two superior formats of BB now in both the summer and winter? BBUK would have to pull something very special out the bag this year to keep me interested which is unlikely.

You can still watch the highlight shows, I suppose broadcasting live feeds costs quite a bit of money and I read some where the show sadly dosent have that big of a budget. On the other page someone posted they are doing after dark so I assume Live Feed is being broadcasted 24/7

Without the live feed I feel there is little point in me watching the highlights, they're highly manipulated.

Yeah, says on their twitter that they're doing After Dark shows. Haven't quite worked out what times in Canada they're being filmed/taken from.

Been experimenting with the Slice TV catch-up service
http://www.slice.ca/watch/
and BB site
http://www.slice.ca/shows/bigbrothercanada/default.aspx
They're geo-blocked, and Hotspot Shield doesn't work, but the ibvpn I got for BBUS works fine with no buffering.

For catch up i'm hoping that www.1channel.ch will have the episodes.

Yes, now we can officially get excited...!

Live Feeds Confirmed For Big Brother Canada
By: Matthew Boyer (GTP) |

Big Brother Canada

A big question has been answered for the upcoming Big Brother Canada series: will there be Live Feeds? The answer is: yes!

According to Slice’s Facebook fan page for BBCA, and uncovered by Big Brother Access, the houseguests will be part of live streaming Internet feeds:

Fans of Big Brother Canada will be able to connect with the series outside of the 3-day-a-week broadcast through a myriad of digital extensions including live streaming and social engagement opportunities that allow online users to impact decisions in the house.

So not only will there be Feeds but also various social media events that will directly impact the game and its players. Hopefully that means something a little more meaningful than picking their Have-Not food of the week, but we shall see.

Do you plan on getting Big Brother Canada Live Feeds? We can’t wait to see what Slice releases next for the quickly approaching BBCA season premiere!

As for how Americans can watch, you will likely have to watch online streams or youtube. No word yet as to whether there will be live feeds.

I hope your gut instinct is accurate. It probably won't be worth the hoops we'll be jumping through without it.
