CBS has the first BB eepisode available on their innertube page, but I can't get the thing to play.

Anyone else having problems, or any suggestions on how else I can get to watch the show?

(My partner is from the US, so we really want to watch it.)

Thanks Steph. I could get the "Animate This" and "How I Met Your Mother" clips to work, so pressumed the BB one would too.

Thanks Steph, and for the PM.

I have just tried again and it didn't work, but looking at the URL that comes up as part of the error message, it looks like you were right in the first place.

Although the URL is malformed, which I think is what is causing the error message, the first part of it leads to this image.

"This content is not available for viewing outside of the United States"

Sorry about that!! I actually was hoping I was wrong. If I find a great site with downloads, I'll let you know.
I am in a similar situation here. I'm unable to watch BB UK online...It's a bitch!!

Thanks, I'd appreciate it. I've tried having a quick look, but a lot of sites that had d/l's last year, are now pointing to the CBS site for this years episodes.

Argh...It's so frustrating.

Nightswimmer, you can trust Jokers. I myself am a member. It's great for 'catch ups'
I myself have been out and only just got back. I read their updates (when i don't watch online)....But it does look like you could have a reliable source.

Good luck....

Click on the episode link then on the next page scroll down past the ad and look for the link that reads "up-file all 4you".

When I bought the feeds last year for $29.99 a VAT charge of $4.50 was added which made my total $34.49

For this year I've again ordered on the 6th for $29.99 with a promotion code of "bb7early" but notice on my billing history I would be charged $39.99 a recurring month. I contacted Real.com support and they replied with:-
Customers will be charged $39.99 for Big Brother subscription if they are signing up for the first time. As you are an active SuperPass member, you will be charged only $29.99.
I am still in my 3-day trial period so nothing has been charged to me yet so I can't confirm the final amount.

Same here, I used the promo code.

Let us know when the charge has been confirmed.

Thanks

Are all you guys in the UK? I have said before, I actually don't pay (due to work). I have Superpass all year round.

I find those charges JUST for BB ridiculous!! I actually think Superpass is 29.99 per quarter!!
Free music, free games....Live streams. (I sound like an advert!) Just something to consider

BB, for me is just a bonus.

Oh, and I really hope these guys get up soon!! Who is it snoring!!! lol

I'm in Europe but I think the vast majority here are in Britain.

Yes Superpass is per quarter and should cover the duration of All Stars. As for the other stuff like games, music etc well I can't be bothered with all that even though it's included.

Janie gave up the HOH room to George & Howie because they snore.

Direct Realplayer links for the first Housecalls.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 1 looks like this:
rtsp://real.sportsline.com/g2demand/entertainment/primetime/bigbrother7/house_calls/070706/housecalls_070706_pt1.rm

....so hopefully future shows will be the exact same format so you just have to change the date.

Not had any success trying to figure out what the show URL could be

LOL!

I went out last night, and didn't watch much. Today, I have been watching Wimbledon. Just nothing exciting happening.

The fact you have the free music etc...use it!! You may as well get something for your money!!
