I've been getting really into Big Brother USA - a million times better than ours could ever be.
But, unanimously we do believe that this feed is crap, right?
All I've seen is the sofas, where Jee has sat in silent whilst the girls are running about the place. All I've managed to hear is "f**cking orgasms"
I'm not sure if I should be blaming E4 - they probably have nothing much to do with it. Or is it just teething troubles? Why can't we just get the same feed as the net?

Anyone know the best email address to contact E4 on and ask whether this is a permenant arrangement?

E4 is disasterous! There has been absolutely nothing! I keep the volume on high to maybe hear something and the adverts just about broke my speakers!...grrrr. I think I'll just have to stick to the weekly programmes.

There is no way E4 will show a wall for 2 months, no chance. E4 are probably as suprised as we are.

Looks like this was all a bit of a badly planned, last-minute disaster. Whether or not we can blame Channel 4 for not actually telling CBS that they're getting sent a feed that obviously isn't being used is hard to tell, but what is obvious is that it is useless, and always leaves you a bit put-off the entire program (but I will of course keep on watching).

I was looking at it after the West Wing (seen it already great season to come) first i saw was the HM's by there backdoor (which looked like someones back yard) and all i could make out was the odd word, the rest was mumbling, then for about 30 minutes they had a view of the empty living room and no sound... followed by a girl in the hot tub with a guy tralking to her... all i could hear again was the hot tub and their voices in the background...

Sound is better this aternoon...

Is there a live feed on satelite in the States like E4 for BB USA?

BB4 USA is much much better than the uk version. The fact that there is soooo much back biting and bitchin is excellent!!

One questions thought, is the feed actually LIVE?? there is no mention on the channel and on the info banner. All they keep saying is that its a direct feed. But has it been delayed somewhat or is it actually streaming live?

Nopes it's delayed as there's a 8 hour time difference between West Coast time and BST....
