The TV shows are posted online on the official CBS / Big Brother site a day after they are shown on TV.

The live feeds are not geo-blocked as far as I know. If anyone knows differently they may chime in. Anyone can buy them and watch them with an updated browser - CBS is using a Flash based broadcast website. The live feeds are produced by a completely independent production crew and last year the feeds were very improved technically compared to previous seasons.

There is also a 3rd party utility for Windows PCs that has been available for the past few years called BBViewer for subscribers of live feeds... the author updates it every year. He may do this again this year. The utility is donation-ware but a paid subscription to CBS is required and the app is not sanctioned by CBS.

There are streamers that stream both live TV shows and live feeds on the internets. We can't post links here due to this forum's rules.

There are several online forums for BBUS but if I had to pick one it would be Jokers Updates for all kinds of info about BBUS, from tech info to discussion and everything in between.

See you online

[... edit ...]

From another post below, apparently, CBS is not accepting non-US credit cards for payment.

The live feeds are geo blocked and you need to have an American credit card and a corresponding American billing address to purchase them this year.

Any torrent site will have the episodes uploaded the morning after. I also use a big-brother channel on MIRC that has been running for some 10-15 years. Very few people would know about it or know how to use it but they have all the big brothers shows on there pretty quick.

As far as I know, the Amex gift cards thing doesn't work for the folk in the UK even using a US address and VPN etc. According to a post on Reddit you can use Entropay with a vpn but I've not used either.

I know someone with an account they don't use often so I'll be using that.
