[Official] Big Brother Brings Back Live Feed

[OlderBlagger]

BIG BROTHER BRINGS BACK LIVE FEED & GIVES 1000 FREE PASSES TO FANS

Channel 4 is to bring back 24 hour live streaming from the Big Brother House for its final series which starts on June 9th. The move will give viewers the ultimate reality experience, literally enabling them to follow the action in the house as it happens, around the clock.

Live streaming of the house (see notes below) will be accessible via the official Big Brother site www.channel4.com/bigbrother. Viewers will pay a small fee to access the footage; 49p for a day pass; £1.99 for a week pass; and £14.99 for a season pass for the whole 13 week series. The money generated through the sales of passes will cover some of the costs it takes to run the streaming.

As a nod to the fans who have watched and supported the show for the past ten years Channel 4 is giving away 1000 free season passes for the feed. The giveaway will begin at 7pm on Tuesday 8th June, the day before the show launches live on Channel 4. Fans will need to register on the official Big Brother website (channel4.com./bigbrother) at this time and if they are one of the first 1000 registrations received they will be given a free pass.

Channel 4 Commissioning Editor, David Williams said
"Years ago streaming on line was less popular due to the limitations of technology, however now we know that the vast majority of fans will have access to broadband and are very active online. This is a great way of Channel 4 giving the fans the all-access action that they want, and thanking them for following the show for the past eleven years. "

The live feed will start from the very first night (exact time TBC), once the new housemates are all in the house.

In addition to the online streaming there will be live streaming on television in the afternoons on E4 and overnight on E4 and Channel 4, as occurred for Celebrity Big Brother 7 in January. Other TV programming includes E4's ultimate fanzine show Big Brother's Little Brother and the late-night Big Brother's Big Mouth hosted by Davina following each live eviction.

Pay???

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

Why are they making us pay for the last series?? Come on BB!!!

[Stu]

The website and live streaming are currently only available for viewing in the UK by UK residents.
Oh **** right off.

It's 2010. What the hell is C4's problem with making it multinational? It's hardly a great technical undertaking.

[ILoveTRW]

£14.99 isnt that much, if i dont win the pass i will definitely be paying

[georgehudson]

What the ****?!
Im not paying for live feed, ****ing cheapskates.

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

Why not available to the NON UK residents??

[ILoveTRW]

you have always had to pay to watch it over the internet for the recent series

[Stu]

Why not available to the NON UK residents??
I would suggest bombarding C4 with emails. It was available to non UK residents before. This is riddiculous.

[DigitalSid]

The ****.

Sorry, but they're right to impose such restrictions, BB's not a children's show (as I was saying to annoyed mums here and on D.S. complaining about the timeslot last year despite it being the show's natural and oldest home).

Anyway, told you ;)

[Jack_]

I'd rather have to pay than have nothing at all. It is the last series after all, might as well.

[bansheewails]

Damn u BB, has ireland fallen off the face of the Map? :'(

[DigitalSid]

I would suggest bombarding C4 with emails. It was available to non UK residents before. This is riddiculous.

Most television sites now restrict by country. Doesn't matter, someone will stream it internationally on justin or ustream always do.

[*mazedsalv**]

But if we pay, what does it say on my parents bill?? I dont think i can watch if its going to be money!!

Aye ;)

Yep, just thought of that.

I suspect if C4 want money though then they will have people on the illegal streams cases 24/7 closing them down :(.

It's weird, because I didn't think they would restrict. I can watch 4od.

[Patrick]

So horrible that we have to pay isn't it.

How would we get the money to them?
Please say it isn't credit cards! :(

Im going to have a go at this Free Pass thing on Tuesday *Makes a note*

Better than nothing, remember online live feed has no ads or at least didn't last time.

Tut, call yourself a BB fan :rolleyes:.

[Jack_]

Does anyone know whether the streaming will be a fixed camera or a choice of multiple cameras? I'd imagine the former, right?

[eye sea]

Then why axe the damn thing?! :mad: What a stupid ****ing way to behave. They should have had the 24 hour live feed for the past three years, instead of making excuses and saying no-one wants to watch the show.

I am grateful for the 24 hour live feed, but what he heck are Channel 4 playing at?! last year they said they couldn't have the live feed, now they can. Idiots. :mad:

I rarely watch live feed anyway, I have a life...you can be a BB fan without being stuck in 24/7 watching it you know. :rolleyes:

Would be pointless me paying to watch it a couple of times through the series

[Jack_]

Fixed.

Thought so, thanks.

[Spike]

Yay! Great news!
I'm willing to pay to watch, £14.99 isn't bad for 13 weeks

Umm yeah...I didn't mean that at all.

I have been known to sit in watching live feed for hours a day (during bb4 would you believe :laugh:) but saying I am not a BB fan because I refuse to pay to watch it, when chances are, I wont be watching it...is silly.

Think I worded that totally wrong

Thats why a free pass is my only hope :(
Does anyone know where I can regiester for the site? I dont see a Sign Up button, I dont want to sign up right now but its just so im prepared on Tuesday.

They are these dummy credit cards you can register for and top up in shops like phone credit. No contracts, no bank thingys, no bills. You just top it up in shops and use it like you would with any other credit card. Get one!

I have been using them to buy from eBay for ages now.

It says it will start at 7 which is good but I would of rather it be like at One in the morning, not many people would think to go on it or be active enough apart from some people on here who love the show which would give me better chances to get on.

What I am assuming is the sign up will be free.

Such as last year, you could sign up to the site for free to post comments and so forth, so what I think will happen is you will sign up for free, and the first 1,000 to sign up will be emailed by channel 4 to say they were the first 1,000 and they will get a free pass

Other than that, there will have to be an extra sign up for the live streaming, as the signup will have to be "secure" due to the fact it will be handling bank card/credit card details.

I was joking, though I do believe it's true, and you (and a lot here) are missing the point behind the argument. None of us are planning to watch it 24-7 we just want the option to, we just want to be able to tune in whenever and it be on, it was the main selling point of the show's first 2 series and is the whole idea behind the format.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

It starts at 7pm on tuesday to sign up so we'll have to make sure we get there first :wavey:

Oh right Jordannn:thumbs:, i didn't see that when i read the press pack, we had to wait untill tuesday to sign up for the free pass:hugesmile:

[JohnnyBB]

i just think there takeing the piss there useing us hardcore fans to make a bit of cash cause its the final show why couldint they just do this when they axed the live feed why now im calling for a boycott untill they agreeeee to give us live accesss for FREEE!!

It's free for the first 1000. Stop moaning for a change JohnnyBB.

[Patrick]

What I am assuming is the sign up will be free.

Such as last year, you could sign up to the site for free to post comments and so forth, so what I think will happen is you will sign up for free, and the first 1,000 to sign up will be emailed by channel 4 to say they were the first 1,000 and they will get a free pass

Other than that, there will have to be an extra sign up for the live streaming, as the signup will have to be "secure" due to the fact it will be handling bank card/credit card details.

So that means even if I won this sign up for LF thing.. I'd have to give Credit Card details?

[OlderBlagger]

So that means even if I won this sign up for LF thing.. I'd have to give Credit Card details?

No.

[Jayson]

Great news. I'll go for the free pass thing and if I don't get it then I'll probably just buy a season pass. £15 isn't much for what you're getting.

[JohnnyBB]

well whatever ill pay ya'll can watch it ilegally here, http://www.justin.tv/bigbrother11uk

[DigitalSid]

Use a debit card.

[Nicklol123]

£14.99 isnt that much, if i dont win the pass i will definitely be paying

Same!

[OlderBlagger]

well whatever ill pay ya'll can watch it ilegally here, http://www.justin.tv/bigbrother11uk

Thanks for the tip off.

Ok, shouldn't really have snapped like that. Having a very bad couple of days, shouldn't really take it out on random strangers on the net :/

[DigitalSid]

You don't have to pay or watch illegaly (and don't make the dumb mistake of posting the link here, this forum doing that meant they kept moving and get made private invite only last year) just be here when they say and get a free pass. Simples?

[JohnnyBB]

im just happy they'll be more press now theres live feed. all the papers will be signing up to it woopieee!

[Patrick]

No.

Good :)

[Billy]

To clarify, I have a bank account and debit card, but not a paypal accountttttttttttttttt, can I still buy?

[OlderBlagger]

Yes.

Thanks :)

[Barracute]

The last time ch4 provided a 24/7 feed on the official site was for BB8 - it cost £10 for the whole series, with no daily options etc.

I think it is the best we could have hoped for - £15 is nothing for 24/7 for the last ever BB, considering it was not exactly expected that there would be any at all!

I will def buy it, if i miss out on a freebie, those freebies are an excellent idea too!

I think we should be thankful that we have full 24/7 feed online, whatever the cost or conditions

- the last BB as suddenly got very much better!

[vesavius]

No way am i paying for it...even though it is pretty cheap.

Will find streams somewhere, or do without...

/sigh...

You say it's cheap and then still refuse to pay around £1 a week to use it?

I guess you never did want it that badly.

[vesavius]

To clarify, I have a bank account and debit card, but not a paypal accountttttttttttttttt, can I still buy?

it takes a few mins to set up a paypal account, even if they dont accept straight CC payments (which I doubt).

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

omg i didnt know they accepted paypal! i might get the season pass if thats the case i just couldnt be arsed putting my bank details on the C4 website im lazy

[bbfan1991]

Hope those who are paying for it enjoy it:). I ain't paying but will enjoy the last series of BB regardless, although more excited about the WC:hugesmile:.

[Claymores]

/sigh...

I suspect you'd have to be very dense to be unable to recoup £15 over the course of a season - you can use live-feed to become one step (day) ahead of the game on gambling markets for evictions (ie to see what will eventually turn-up on the HL show and guess how the public are likely to react/vote).

At an even more basic level, there are gambling markets for "walkout" and "ejected" this week and you can use use live feed to bang the bets-in before the market has reacted.

Another example was BB7 when Paddypower unwisely opened a market "Will Ais wear THAT blue dress on finals night?". If you were watching Live Feed about the time they opened this market, Richard had just told her to avoid it like the plague as he's heard from the house next door it was being ridiculed by the outside world. So you just wapped £500 into "no" for free money.

Interesting stuff, Claymores. I might dive into the world of BB betting this year.

No I didnt...never said I did :/

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

kick his ass

[Claymores]

Interesting stuff, Claymores. I might dive into the world of BB betting this year.

Evictions have been a nice little earner for me since BB7 - I'd estimate about £35k since I started. It is becoming too well known as an easy way to fleece housewives of the housekeeping money, and C4 keep messing things up so you've got to be fast and careful

[Boothy]

Has anyone heard any news about Live Feed being uncensored? I said I would pay £15, but if it's gonna make me listen to birds tweeting while the housemates swear and stuff, I'm not sure it's worth it.

[ButterflyGirl]

Good news but I won't be paying, hopefully someone might put some footage on youtube or somewhere else.

[Claymores]

You also had to know Reverse Ferret (another website if you know what I mean) quite well to get the nom results texted to you in advance of the reveal.

Yeah, I'd be willing to pay if it's uncensored, but if not, then **** it.
Am gonna try my hand at this competition like, and see what happens.

This is a very good point.

If it was totally uncensored I would definitely pay. Even if theres chance I wont watch much of it.

Also they need to stop moving cameras whenever something interesting is happening, just to save something for the HL show :/

[DigitalSid]

D.S. the happiest I've seen it since Rachel won BB9.

[Patrick]

What are my odds of winning this freebie?

[DigitalSid]

Good news but I won't be paying, hopefully someone might put some footage on youtube or somewhere else.

Tis £15, an hour and a half's wages, seems a bit silly.

[President]

So how do I pay? Is there a link on the website where I can register to buy the LF

[DigitalSid]

What are my odds of winning this freebie?

I'm pretty certain if you here before half 7 Tuesday you'll definitely get your hands on one.

[DigitalSid]

Not yet, Tuesday.

[President]

I'm pretty certain if you here before half 7 Tuesday you'll definitely get your hands on one.
Really! I think they'll all be gone by 7:10pm.

[JohnnyBB]

everyone person for themselfs first come first serv some upset lil bunnies :bawling:

[vesavius]

No I didnt...never said I did :/

Well, yeah, you said 'pretty cheap', not 'cheap', I give you that.

No way am i paying for it...even though it is pretty cheap.

Look, I didnt mean to attack you, I guess I just reacted at the way people were actually complaining about spending just over a quid a week on something they enjoyed and stating that they would rather find an illegal stream then fork over that miniscule amount.

FROM CHANNEL 4/BIG BROTHER:

Late Night Streaming
E4 will be providing some late night streaming. For scheduling details check our TV Listings page http://www.channel4.com/tv-listings

Sound Dips
On occasion, during our late night streaming, we may need to cut the sound, as with any programme shown on TV, the output has to adhere to Ofcom's Broadcasting Code. The cuts are made for a number of reasons, the most common being:


Music
As you may know, all modern music is copyrighted, and any use of such music in a TV programme - however brief - needs to be cleared with the holder of the rights and a payment made for its use. Some music will be specially cleared in advance for inclusion in the main Big Brother shows - such as the 'wake up' music or music that is played for a task or for a party - but will not have been cleared for Streaming. During these, sometimes prolonged, times we have no choice but to dip the sound for the duration the music is playing.

But this rule doesn't just apply to published music - it also extends to any music 'performance' and this includes all singing, humming, whistling and any music played on instruments by the Housemates.


Privacy Issues
Housemates sign contracts allowing Big Brother to show them 'warts and all', but this may not necessarily extend to very personal and sensitive or medical information that bears no relevance to the other Housemates or to the Big Brother game. Any mention of such detail will be cut out of respect for the Housemate's intimate privacy.

Equally critical is what we call Third Party Privacy. Housemates often talk about friends, family, colleagues or former employers, and while some of this information may be deemed innocuous and harmless, we would mostly cut this type of information as those parties have not given consent for personal information to be disclosed on television - though it does depend on context. If, for example, a generic, non-offensive and well-meaning remark is made about a parent, or something said about an un-named, un-identifiable friend or relative, then it may be deemed fine for broadcast.


Libel
Libel or defamation may arise when a comment is made about an individual, or a company or its products/services which would tend to make a reasonable person think less of them as a result. At worst, this may be an allegation that they have acted in a criminal way, or it may be a much less serious suggestion, for example, that they have lied, acted dishonourably or been hypocritical.It is therefore very important to identify when such comments are made and remove them accordingly in line with the Ofcom Broadcasting Code.


Due Impartiality and Undue Prominence of Views and Opinions
All Housemates are entitled to express themselves, including their beliefs and opinions - but we have to carefully monitor for balance. For example, if a Housemate or Housemates should decide to use their time on Big Brother as a soapbox for extreme, one-sided and/or political views, for example, then the audio may need to be cut at such times. However, if the views and opinions are balanced by those of other Housemates, then they may be fine to show.


Commercial References
As you may know, the production team go to great lengths to cover brand names on food and household products used in the House, and cover up any prominent brands on clothing. But should a Housemate, for example, try to pitch themselves as the new face of a leading cosmetics company by always using their products in full view around the House, or constantly mentioning one particular brand in a promotional way, then we would also need to cut this in accordance with Ofcom's Broadcasting Code.

[DigitalSid]

Really! I think they'll all be gone by 7:10pm.

Might do, obviously the sensible thing to do is be here dead on 7.

No mention of sound drops due to swearing there, but it does say it applies to 'late night streaming'.

[ButterflyGirl]

I'm not being silly, I could just think of a lot better things to spend £15 on, maybe i'm not just that big of a BB fan.

[President]

Do Ofcom regulations apply to the online feed? I would think not. I remember the BB1 hourmates were shown naked on the online feed mid-afternoon!

[JohnnyBB]

don't get me excited oooo the possibilty of seeing real minge on live stream!!!

No, Ofcom doesn't have any control over the Internet.

[Stu]

.
Aha. I knew I saw them swear filter breaks get removed.

[alfiegreen]

No, Ofcom doesn't have any control over the Internet.

i also wonder though, will we be able to control the camera, like.. switch between different ones?

[OlderBlagger]

No.

No.

so if somthing dirty is going on, c4 will probally switch the camera then?

BIG BROTHERS BACK!!! VBTRp80Q64U

[janaddy86]

No.

Can you ask them to make the feed in a pop-out window please so that we don't actually have to have full browser tab open for it?

Thank you, you will get your reward in heaven :)

[President]

To sign up for the free live feed spots, do you think they'll ask for our bank details etc?

[OlderBlagger]

[President]

No.
Cool :). If you don't mind me asking, could you please answer a couple of questions about online live feed:

1. Will there be any adverts during the online live feed?
2. Will there be soundips before 9pm if there is swearing on the online live feed?

Thank you :)

[billy123]

I can't believe people are complaining still. Jesus christ.its absolutely crazy isnt it im not suprised c4 want rid of it all.

[billy123]

Someone will probably stream the live feed illegally on justin.tv. So I'm sure people who don't want to pay will find some way to watch it.
thats one of the reasons it was scrapped in the first place because of theiving little chavs.

[Stuart567]

Will your internet connection need to be relatively strong? i would hate to fork out £15 to find i can't watch the streaming. As i stay in the country my connection isn't the greatest and its a struggle to watch BBC iplayer

[janaddy86]

Would it be payable by text/phone by any chance? How can we find out.

I'd imagine full details will be available on launch night, if not the night before.

[Joe.]

So when will we be able to pay for this :o Dead exciting!

I'd imagine it has to be decent yes. You could try a couple of the daily subscriptions to try it out first over a couple of different periods.

1. Tbc - not as I'm aware
2. Yes

[President]

Do we get to apply for the 'free stream' specifically?

Or is it just the first 1000 that apply for the 'online stream' that get it free.

[Joe.]

1. Tbc - not as I'm aware
2. Yes

Answer my two questions please :)-

1. Will we be able to select a room to watch?

2. From when will we be able to pay the fee- Launch day morning?

[Jack_]

1. Tbc - not as I'm aware
2. Yes

So essentially it'll just be the E4 stream [being edited by the same people for the same type of audience] but on a 24 hour loop?

Hmm... I see where this is going!

I'm guessing: Basically people will have to apply for the normal stream, give payment details etc, but the first 1000 will get it free. So you can't specifically apply for a 'free stream'.

[Patrick]

1. No

2. Be patient



Yeah but like you know if your in the first 1000 people to sign up on Tuesday, would C4 Email you and inform you and then on the launch after it we can just watch it live there and then?

[OlderBlagger]
