BBUS Live Feed News- CBS asks that you don't feed the Canadians

[BBfanUSA]

per Hamsterwatch, No they will not be free. I guess they want Glass House/BB Can type feeds but Superpass couldn't host it. No Word if Flashback will be available as well.

This will be the first time since BB2 that they'll be on CBS.com

[Josiah.]

That's great! I'm still mad that feeds aren't free like BB1/BBCanada/TGH.

[BBfanUSA]

If you buy from affiliates. Don't worry you can buy the feeds through them still.

I wonder if Real can't support it because CBS is switching BB to HD? (I have no idea what's the quality of Real's feeds that's why I'm asking)

[Josiah.]

From what I've seen through screenshots and heard through Rachel and Porsche, the quality of live feed from Real is good. I'm thinking about how CBS will do the live feeds if they switch them over to the BB website.

[Donovan.]

I hope they do add some type of public interaction and public voting through the website, but I hope it isn't for anything silly like what type of party the HGs should receive or what type of punishment the have-nots should be given.

I'm surprised that no one else here has noted that this could spell bad news for Canadian fans since CBS.com is GeoBlocked.

Well they get what they deserve, they geoblocked US fans from their big brother feeds. turnABOOT is fair play.

Some more feed news per WLBB,

In America they're moving after dark to TV Guide Network and it's been knocked down to 2 hours.

TV guide isn't a pay channel so it'll delayed a bit. Some nights were anyway (IE Endurance Comp wasn't done, Delayed Eviction week, HG is getting kicked out) But it won't bleep out Cuss Words. FCC doesn't govern any Cable channels so Cable channels can do whatever they want just as long as it's around Midnight to 3AM because of Parents that are too harsh on what their kids watch

CBS actually just bought into half of TV Guide Network just recently. I don't know if this will mean if we get BB reruns or a Spin Off Talk Show.

[Donovan.]

This might actually be a good thing. TVGN is available to more people, is centered on pop-culture, and has a much less crowded line up(in the sense that it is mostly reruns). Sure, losing an hour of BBAD sucks, but maybe this means that we'll eventually get another spin off.

[Brekkie]

CBS have confirmed details on the live feeds - much the same as before except they're on CBS.com, but of note here is that they're no longer available outside of the US.

After Dark will be commercial free for the first week of feeds.

Also there will be photobooth inside the house this year. Bad news is we'll have to unlock the pics.
