I'll put £50 on the table now it will have not started by midnight. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's still not up and running by tomorrow evening. As far as a breach of law goes, I doubt it would be worth it to recover 13p for a the loss of a day's BB streaming, but I do know where you are coming from.

I very much doubt it, since they are providing all the other stuff they said they would. They are also offering it at a month's free trial, so it isn't like they have taken any money from you. Now had they said pay us a fiver and we will give you BB streaming today and they didn't, then that would be a whole new ball game.

IMO

I'm on the main 'Broadband Access All Areas' with the Big Brother screen...BBC News, BBC Sport etc is underneath it. The mouse cursor changes to a hand but when you click on it, nothing happens. I've got my settings to allow popups.

Probably not. There will be a statement in the T&Cs that will say that they reserve the right to change the content at any time, and cannot be help responsible for loss of service, blah de blah..

Sorry in advance for the bad grammar

When I signed up for ntl broadband they offered me 750k for 17.99 a month, I said no I will just have the 13.99 / m package, after trying to convince me to go for 750k and failed they then said oh since you are a new customer you can have the 1mb for 17.99 / m So i thought hmm sounds good to me so I signed up for it but now when I get my bill I have been charged extra for installation that I wasnt told about and am now recieving a monthly bill of £24.99

Yes I've done that but nothing happens when I click it. I've also right-clicked and changed the Macromedia settings to Allow....zilch happens.

But thanks to you and also Mirage for trying to help.

It doesn't work no matter what I click. I've eve closed the whole thing down and tried again. NTL sucks bigtime.

No probs. Thanks anyway. I think it's gotta be down to NTL's sheer laziness and not our settings.

Knowing NTL that Tuesday that's there now probably means next Tuesday.

Maybe Channel 4 and NTL have fell out with each other, hence there being no live streams to NTL customers (apart from E4), and NTL are just stringing its customers along hoping the issue will be resolved soon. - Just a thought.

It's NEVER been on NTL Interactive, not that I can recall anyway. And they have the cheek to bring back the chicken game - that was from *BB4*!!!

I have just gone to NTLWorld to see if there are any signs of the streaming yet and the sods have now taken off "coming Tuesday" and replaced it with "Coming Soon" where the Tuesday was.

They could string us along for days, weeks or anything now. I think if you really want the streaming to escape the frog, it is going to be far easier (and more expensive) to subscribe to C4 for it.

And be put on hold for 30 mins? No, thanks.
I believe Mirage tried it yesterday only to be told they were still "testing" the service. Same reply one would get today, I bet.
