For the whole season (till the end of September i think) is $24.95 (£15.25) which is what i will be taking although as the topic says you can try a free 7 day trial.

Here is a link to on how to d/l the tv eps from...

http://www.geocities.com/gluedtothescreen/

I would also try efnet.demon.co.uk and #channel0

The key for channel0 is chanzero (leave a space after entering ch. name).

There is also a great newsgroup for everything BB at alt.binaries.tv.big-brother where you should be able to download tv eps from the next day until E4 coverage begins. See the tutorials forum on www.shemes.com/grabit for more on newsgroups.

Im off to sign up in a minute. Feeds should begin after the opening show has aired.

looking at the US site, they all look really self obsessed, Hollywood rejects. Too plastic, and love themselves

Existing Superpass users will be able to watch BBUSA without any further charges, right?

Take a look at last years plastic bunch.

Can you spot the mother who was a joke of a mother to her kids, did coke while pregnant, lots of other things i cant remember.

All she was bothered about was going out and didn't give a shit about the kids. Yet she projected an image on BB as being a great mum even though she was the totally opposite but the feed viewers knew the score.

Also last year the girl called Chiara, if you thought Justmean was bad...pfft...some of the things she came out with made the tampon with ketchup gag look acceptable behaviour.

You'll have to let us know neil.

Thanks Coljj

If Lisa goes this weekend I may just log-in for this on Saturday ...

Sound interesting

I wouldn't of thought so, there is European Superpass and US Superpass, for BBUK you have to have European Superpass, for BBUSA you need US Superpass, of course real point out you can have both, they would be more than happy if ya did! lol

Thanks for those links Coljj. I'm surprised that someone doesn't put the US BB daily programme on a file sharing network. It wasn't there last year.

Cheers for that, much as I feared. I only ended up with Superpass because I signed up when drunk, dammit. I'm trying to get them to switch me to the BB account now, but I doubt it will do any good. What a bloody waste of money, I wouldn't mind if I could have watched the American BB...

Why on earth you would want to watch Americans sitting around talking nonsense about themselves seems weird to me. Don't you have your fill with Friends, Will and Grace and all the other terrible sitcoms that we are force fed. Now BB africa or BB Brazil, that seems much more appealing.

Sounds about right steveuk. Oh and i will admit it is a strange transistion from UK - US. When i watch the US it will seem very Hollywood but if i was coming over the opposite way round UK BB would seem so....plain.

Papyrus you could give bit torrent a shot. The best place once figured out would be the newsgroup though. I think the first show E4 viewers will get is HoH nominating the 3rd person for eviction.

I think Ep1 is on CBS in 30 mins so feeds should be up for 2am.

Well I've just completed the transaction and signed up for the feeds, and now it's just waiting time. Coljj, you download the episodes through mIRC the same way you download movies, but what time will the episodes be available for download? Will I be able to see the first episode tonight, straight after it has been aired?

I think you are right Steve. We can sign up for the live feeds just now from the BB USA website (live feeds will start in around a couple of hours) but I think you need the US superpass or else sign up for the whole BB USA season solo pass thing ($25 ?)

THe USA superpass is around $10 a month.

whether they will start showing it with the European Superpass (say tomorrow, or after BB UK finishes), I dont know.

Eps are rls'd by the big groups just an hour after it airs however it takes a bit longer to make it to irc. Im banking on some bots from #channel0 serving it this year. If not then newsgroups is the next place. Then #survivor-central on that guide which always comes through with the eps.

#channel0 is the biz for most things but BB is frowned upon. However im hoping the Ex factor brings the buzz kinda like the boys v girls twist in their last Survivor which led to more people serving it.

Oh and good move on signing up Coca Cola. There will be many on here who will wished they had done the same as you after the first few days of it on E4.

What will the quality of the feeds be like? I have broadband, so does that mean my feeds will be high quality or do I need a fast computer etc as well?

I would guess about 220k. There are 4 feeds aswell as a 5th which is those 4 in one window.

I'm all signed up and ready, watching Oz BB now. Hope the US show is as good as the Oz one.

Never thought Id see the day when I'd be so uninterested in the UK BB. Sort it out for next year please.

These direct links should now work, they are for me.

Of course, some of us liked Chiara :-p

What is the spec of your PC Coca Cola and what OS do you use?

If your processor is anything over 500mhz with 128mb RAM and Windows 98 or better then you'll be fine...

Your feeds will be good quality at 220k or so.

Thank you geolander, for watching more than one BB.

The reason I say this is because I believe that eventually the interest will be there to encourage people to watch BB live for 365 days a year etc...

Not that I am classifying you as anything ...but eventually it will be possible to actually spend a lifetime doing nothing other than watching people doing virtually nothing.

It's really is nothing more than a mad thought of mine...

One day I may take a complete year out to devote time to study as such, and to quote Fed:

“Despite my best efforts to detach myself from such mainstream populist paraphernalia, I too have contracted this debilitating, possessive disease which renders its victims defenceless to the fascinating banality of normality!”

...but as yet can only afford to take 64 days out a year.

Coljj I've tried some of those url's you printed but I just get a search engine page. Any tips? and do you have an address for Channel 0?

#channel0 still dont have the episode.

The info is in the 2nd link. when you have installed mirc connect to efnet and type /join #channel0 chanzero in your status box.

Still no sign of the episode here, I've tried many newsgroups, servers, peer 2 peers and still no luck. It must pop up somewhere surely.
