A message appeared about 10 minutes ago on interactive ticker saying BB interactive will close at 9pm and back at 10:30pm... Are they saving the whole of Brians party for broadcast on channel 4... I think we should be told

Not at all happy

The thing i can't understand is why does it go off? I mean the [COLOR=red]PRESS RED[/COLOR] thingy now stays on there between 9 - 10 :30 and when you press it it says 'there is no fault. bla bla.." but the streams are still going on behind it as you can hear the housemates for about 5 secs before it goes off.

Im going to e-mail E4 to find out why you can't acsess the interactive service between 9-10:30, because I can't see a reson why we should't?!

The reason is to make the viewers switch over to Channel 4 for their coverage. (The earliest 4's coverage starts is at 8.30pm (Fridays) and the regular's finishes at 10.30pm (Mondays to Thursdays).

Although, they shouldn't stop the live coverage on a Sunday night since there are no programmes on Channel 4 about Big Brother.

On Friday the interactive feed was off from 8:30 to 11:15 - encompassing both programmes.

Apparantly, the reason is due to censoring. When it comes back on it was a warning of adult content (strong language etc).

This can't take too long to set up, though, as there is no dwon time when it goes back to watershed viewing in the morning.

Has anyone tried loading it up before it goes offline? Maybe if it was already running on your digibox, you could continue to watch it.
