I haven't been able to find a way
![]() It's looking more and more likely that we wont be able to have feeds here anymore, hopefully we can find and share links once the feeds start. |

Very unfortunate they have changed the set-up for viewing live feeds. There are a lot of pissed off Canadians as well who cannot sign-up.
I tried an American Express, MasterCard and a Visa (in my name) using an US address, my own address and the usual workaround using the numbers from my Postcode then adding three random digits to the end. NONE of the above worked, so called CBS helpline and they confirmed they use a safeguard that only US Credit Cards work which cross-reference address and zip code information. No legal way round this ![]() ![]() Thankfully, a bit of "unethical" google searching found a way of accessing it. I would rather pay, but CBS don't give us an option. http://s2.postimg.org/4k425s1nd/image.jpg |

I can definitely understand why Canadians are pissed, considering the highlight episodes actually air on TV out there.
I don't understand this new block down. Do they legally have to do it? It just seems strange to me because they are knowingly preventing people paying, which will result in less money for them. |

A lot of production/distribution companies are getting increasingly annoyed about regional blocking being so easy to get around. Sony's email leaks last year showed just how annoyed they were getting. Everyone has been asked to get better at that side of things, this is just an easy way to do it.
But as butterflies84 has said, there are unethical ways to get around it, but is it really worth the bother? The live feed and show was absolutely garbage last year. I pretty much only watched an hour or two of livefeed a week, that was the few hours after Veto when all the gameplay was done and over with for the week. After that the house may as well have gone to sleep. Is it really worth getting into again just for some god awful twist to kill any sense of game or drama out of the feed. |

I think the only way around this is to find a friendly and willing U.S. resident to create what would in effect be proxy accounts.
I've asked these guys http://www.buyfrompowerseller.com/pages/FAQ.html by email if they would create a CBS all access account for me. I haven't had a reply yet but if others are interested they might see a worthwhile market. Who knows? On the other hand I thought both BB15 and BB16 were atrocious and stopped watching weeks before they ended. Maybe CBS are doing us all a favour by blocking us..... |

Has anyone tried any temporary gift credit card accounts? I've seen them online a couple of times... I don't know much about them.
Maybe I should start a business... providing US based credit card accounts for non US-ers What's the demand? I need to present a business plan to my financial backers

Would appreciate it so much Totes, the UK has mucked us up so much that I really enjoy the US live feeds.

Looks like CBS has succeeded in excluding us. I can't find a way to get their all access and I can't watch BB without the live feed. I've never tried "free" feeds before (I've been a subscriber since BB7) so don't know how reliable they are. If anyone knows of a good one I'd appreciate a pm.

I don't see what the problem is. If we're willing to pay for it what's their issue?

A reminder if you want to watch the CBS shows when they are broadcast live.
***.ustvnow.com (replace *** with www) Totally free, no credit card - all it needs is a Facebook account. It's a 45 day trial, so I recommend creating a couple of new Facebook accounts for the full season of BB. By using this service, you avoid all the up and downs of the free feeds elsewhere and it is full HD on your desktop/laptop or mobile device. |
