I was wondering that. I have to be away a whole month from next week and I was wondering if I subscribed to live internet streaming would I be able to watch it on my laptop.
I'm in France and get the live internet stream - (your're only supposed to get it if you're a UK resident and living in the Uk, but I just gave a UK address. (Card I used matched up to the address though).
I watch from abroad using RealPlayer SuperPass. It works even if you pay with a non-UK credit card. You just have to select "UK" for the location in the registration details.
There is a website which last year gave download locations for newsgroups and IRC for all the Big Brothers. However this year it has been down since the start of BB Oz for some reason but might be worth checking reguarly as I'm sure it will come back soon.
im watching big brother through real player, the quality is excellent, except for the past 15 mins when ive got sound but the streaming is just black....im watching from south africa
