For some strange reason it is not going to start until 'after' the first eviciton, 'after' being the key word. Not 'on the day of' the first eviction, not the 'day after' the eviction but just 'after'. Therefore, it could be weeks away!

Channel 4 are just making excuses.

Yep I got it going too, not much in the way of choosing camera angles though, just feed A or B, and then 2 delayed feeds (2hr and 4 hr) Not amazingly exciting, but at leats we got it!

[EDIT]

Also it seems that it is only 25p to vote on Interactive, not 50p as I have read elsewhere.

The main feature I was hoping for,was to be able to overide the main e4 programs to continue watching bb...and you can.

Nice 1 E4

Yup I agree there.... that's fantastic stuff from E4 then.

But does that mean it will be LIVE 24 hours a day?

Quality if it is,but then again if it is 18-21 hrs a day you`ve got the 4 hr delay to catch up if anything good happens.

It'is good that you can view Big Brother Interactive while E4 shows other programs,
but annoying that the ad breaks are still there.

But sometimes the sound isn't cut similtaneously, switching between live A and B can sometimes still give you sound! Like when they were discussing proxy voting earlier - live A had trains, live B had talking

There is a plus side to the ads,you could be watching live and want to watch big brother little brother,and instead of flicking out and loading back up you would no exactly when to exit ....Genius

one thing that sum people have been suggesting is that E4 be pin locked so coverage can be shown without the train sound interruptions. but inevitably this is not going to happen due to cross-platform problems. But surely as the camera angle option is only available on sky, Live feed B could be pin locked and show coverage without gaps.

I agree or pin lock the interactive on sky so all 4 feeds are live and unedited.

There wont be a PIN even on the Interactive Sky Digi feeds. Why?

Well E4 need the "profanity/swearing/libel censoring excuse" in order to chop up whole conversation's that will instead be broadcast on the Channel 4 show.

Case in point..the slagging off Penny was giving Stuart, Bubble, Amma all the rest that are blanking her etc was giving earlier today in the girls bedroom. Narinder and Brian were the eager listeners and so should we the E4 viewers have been too but unfortunately Penny must have been been using bad words to describe them non stop and constantly for over 20 mins.

I'm sure they will show it tommorow night so we have not missed anything really.
