How does Big Brother Canada work?

Big Brother Canada is a hybrid of both the US format of Big Brother and the format that the rest of the world follows. A guide as to how the US format works can be found here. (http://www.bbspy.co.uk/bbcan/features/0301/how-big-brother-canada-works-usa-america) However, whilst BBUSA typically shies away from any public influence, BBCAN will occasionally involve the public in the larger twists that come into the game. For example, Canada could be made HoH for one week - meaning that the public gets to make all of the decisions bar the eviction. Another twist could be Canada deciding who the Have and Have Nots for the week. It's a mixed bag that adds a new dynamic to the US format.

Who are the Houseguests this time round?

You can view all the Canadian Houseguests and their profiles here. (http://bigbrothercanada.globaltv.com/houseguests/)

Where are the house pictures?

You can view the BBCAN6 house pictures here (https://www.bigbrothercanada.ca/photos/tour-the-bbcan6-house/#1).

How can I watch the show live?

You can watch the show live via a streaming site. These can vary as to which are taken down and which are still active - you can find some sites below:

http://videobrother.net/
http://bmx-tv.net/

If you have an iPhone/iPad, you can screen mirror these sites via an Apple TV, or by installing the AirReciever app for only £2.00 on your Fire TV (https://www.amazon.co.uk/龙方儿-AirReceiver/dp/B00L5HQRGS)/Chromecast (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.softmedia.receiver&hl=en_GB). This will also work if catching up on episodes/watching Live Feeds via a VPN on the official website (see instructions below).

When are the shows on?

You can see what time the show is on and discuss the episodes here (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?t=336148).

What if I can't watch the show live - how can I catch up?

VideoBrother or BMX typically upload the episodes after they’ve aired, though you can also try searching YouTube the next day to find the episodes. Alternatively you can watch the episodes via the official website with a VPN (see instructions below).

Where can I find/watch the Live Feeds?

Easy, just go to the Big Brother Canada website: http://bigbrothercanada.ca/ and click on the "Live Feeds" tab. The feeds are FREE - though they may be blacked out at times (this is because the producers will want to save some parts for the main show or because the Houseguests are discussing some issues that production would like to avoid being broadcast).

The best way to watch the feeds on a laptop/computer is via Liquid8d’s BBViewer, which includes bookmarks to key moments on the feeds. Find instructions on where to get it here (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8555562&postcount=2422).

If you’re watching via a mobile/tablet, you can access the feeds via the official website, though you will need to have a Canadian VPN installed to bypass the geoblock. HideMyAss (https://www.hidemyass.com/en-gb/pricing) is the most recommended for security and reliability, though you will have to pay for a subscription. Alternatively you can install TouchVPN (https://www.northghost.com) for free, though it’s not as reliable.

What if I miss something on the feeds - how can I find out what's happened?

OnlineBigBrother (http://www.onlinebigbrother.com/)'s got you covered - they regularly recap the day's feed action in a write-up and have all the latest clips. Alternatively, you can follow @_BBCanada or @Hamsterwatch on Twitter for the latest quotes/screen grabs.

(If I've missed anything out, please suggest below and I'll include it here).

OnlineBigBrother.com has a guide on how to watch the feeds internationally. You should link it here.

I've stickied this so people know how to watch BBCAN.
A lot of people seem interested in the series this year.

BBCAN producers are genius for thinking of this international twist.

Thank's for the suggestion about OnlineBigBrother guys - I've included it in the OP. Thanks also for sticking the thread Andy - hopefully this will help people out on how to get involved :D.

Sadly it didn´t work for me, but you others should test it.

Hmm - that's a bit odd. It's worked for me on Chrome and on my iPad - perhaps it's a location issue? Another one that I found that works is Tunnelbear, but there's a data limit on that unless you sign up to the paid version. Perhaps you could give the free version a try?

TouchVPN is working for me but it's veeeeeeeerrrryyyyyyyy slow, idk if that's the vpn or the BBCAN website but either way it's kind of painful. :laugh: Still if it works for the feeds then I'm happy, thanks for the suggestion!!

Does anyone know if the streams work for mobile devices? There's no stream for me on any of the links but is that just because the show hasn't started yet?

I haven't tested the links on mobile devices yet but I know that if you get the VLC Player app (available on iOS and Android) and paste the direct link to the VideoBrother stream (I'll paste it below) into "Network Stream" then you can access their stream that way.

It says that I have to enable my location settings, which results in them taking my actual GPS location.

Re those having feed problems on mobiles - unfortunately I can only find this link for camera 4 (it's the only one working on bmx-tv.net) - http://vaughnlive.tv/realitytv101

All I can suggest is to keep trying with VPNs to access all of the streams on the BBCAN website - it sucks but it's the only solution I can find :(. TouchVPN seems to be working on my iPad but there are alternatives (which unfortunately might mean paying in some circumstances).

Dominic
06-03-2016, 09:38 PM
On my phone I've tried Touch VPN, Hola, TunnelBear and SuperVPN and they dont work </3 The struggle with the feeds for me is distressing :laugh:

It requires flash, so I would need to download a flash browser but I think the videos are very laggy on them idk

I haven't read the thread so I'm not sure if it's been mentioned by anyone else, but when I tried the 'Watchseries' link earlier, I got pop ups and virus warnings, so I ended up just using youtube. The videos only cover about half the screen for copyright reasons, but at least it's definitely safe.

Oh you should always use an adblock when using those sites.

The VideoBrother stream is playing K-Pop atm meaning that it should be up for the show!

If anyone doesn't have time to watch the feeds or misses a day, but hates reading through the thread or a long recap - the RealityBBQ forum posts a short daily summary of all things you need to know that happened on the previous day.

Great news everyone! liquid8d off of Jokers is back with his BBViewer :cheer2: I've not been able to get this to work the last two seasons or for BBUS but it was amazing for BB1 and hopefully will work perfectly this time! He's been working on an update for about a week and here it is...

http://goodiesfor.me/bigbrother/download.html?v=5.0

You will need to first download Adobe Air, then the viewer itself. It's full of different features (some which he's still working on I believe) including pause, flashbacks (like, full, proper flashbacks that BBUS has) and even better - there's also a Global feed running 24/7 that you can watch the episodes on!

And the best part of it all is that he's at last enabled it so you do not need a VPN! I am hoping this lasts the duration :D

Oh yeah I thought I recognised his username, I used to watch them when I could, before they'd get removed.
