Can't we fake a US zip code and just get our proxies as usual?
There are such things as UK zip codes

I would expected VPNs to work, but obviously can't say for certain.

This says just putting a US zip code will work, at least in Canada

Should we be panicking? I haven't tried to sign up as of yet as I've not been paid. As soon as payday hits this week I shall be trying to sign up with my vpn.

I only embarked on feeds from last season and I'm so mad at myself that I ddin't think to bother for earlier seasons. I'm sure the internet will find a way.

How does that work? the billing information will still say US and the credit card that you have to pay by will query that and stop the payment.

Apparently a few canadians have tried this method and they were already able to sign up for early bird feeds. It's all very good having the vpn to watch the feeds but it's billing information that's going to be hard.

Not in full panic mode yet as got a few weeks yet but I want to get in on the early bird special

Well, I just used my usual UK address but with a zip code and the state that matched the zip code. Then put my basic card details in and I was subscribed... Confirmed by e-mail too.

This is to inform you that your recent CBS.com BigBrother Live Feeds Early Bird Season Pass subscription order has been successfully processed and you can now enjoy all the benefits of CBS.com BigBrother Live Feeds membership starting June 11th.

I have a VPN if Hola doesn't work, I hope the flashback is good because I work days now and not nights.

The early bird special is a smokescreen, the reality is just $3 difference from regular price.. the 20% discount they talk about is compared to the price of subscribing month by month.. So don't be too panicked if you miss the early bird

more or less my panic was whether I got feeds so I'm happy that it's done. Worked it out and you are right. BBUK hasn't got me this fangirly since the Davina days, lol

if you're looking for a sure way to watch the feeds after you pay for them then i would recommend this:

http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/9630...vice-32year-or
at $5.45 a month it's totally worth it
(i pay 7 a month but that deals gets it to 5.50)

i used it for the canada live feeds, i'm in the usa so i don't need it for the american version but i still use the service just to browse the internet and keep my ip private and to watch geoblocked content.

and if you want to watch stuff on websites like if i wanted to watch the bbuk youtube updates channel i could use it.

it's really easy to install and use, you install the program and a driver and then you open it up and choose which server:country you want to connect to and can easily disconnect and reconnect, etc.

no, i don't work for the company or anything haha... but i've used it for about 3 months now and i'm satisfied.

I haven't yet either. I am still confused about paying via credit card. Surely if I only give a bit of my home address and add USA and a Zip code, they will query it as being incorrect.

I am just the same.
I think its best just to wait and be safe than sorry on this until we get a tried and tested method what to do.
