Big Brother interactive

Big Brother interactive on Sky Digital is a bit cack this year ain't it?

I mean the whole set up is rather strange and annoying. And those two screen are hardly viewable as well! Deffo not as good as it was in the last two years! But still i might get used to it as time goes by

Is the interactive on Telewest still crap then anyone?

yeh we could last year and the year before that!

But this year we can't? Don't know why. I keep pressing Select in hope that the screen could get a little bigger lol, no such luck

Yes, it would be nice to have a full screen option.

on the plus side. watching interactive means you dont have those annoying text messages.
and also, when the sound is cut on the main feed, its, more often than not, fine on the other feed.

eg. this morning, Tanya started to sing a song(well, just sort of said the first line anyway), it was cut on the main feed, but not on the B feed.

whilst the layout and graphics are a bit cack, the screen size has always been a quarter screen (just this time you get to watch both feeds), previously you used to get the 8th of a screen matrix, and the pic would only fill up that space.

still lets hope for a full screen option

It's sooo distrcting having the two feeds at the same size at the same time!!! It looks kinda like they couldn't really be arsed to produce a good app this year...

Very disappointed. I was expecting something very similar to the Sky News Active-8. Not something crapper than the previous series. They even cut the logos up so it doesn't look right. I'd expect this as the Friendly TV interactive service, not BB.

Yeh everywhere I've read it's said that we were limited to tiny quarter screen views, but you could make them full screen last time.

Still I quite like this design. you can see what's going on in two locations in fairly good sized screens and flick the audio between the two instantly with the press of the yellow button.

Also if you change the vote option to the news by pressing what ever button that was (red I think) and put the ticker up instead of the logo (blue) then you've got quite a good setup.

Also watching E4 on Sky Digital interactive means you don't get that god-awful text message ticker scroller!

you could never make them full screen.

you could press 0, which would take you to the e4 coverage (which might be friends, holioaks, or bb live etc)
