Sorry Tom.. I thank you for posting the better version of details.. you are a life saver to those that cannot access the red button :cheer2:

[Rory]

Tom! You're using my signature. Please please taking it down!

[Amy]

If you are finding it hard to do this.. you only have to change the frequency to 12.480 ... as long as you select the channel at the end and go to other channels you can view straight away.. works well honest and is easier than a red button

[Amy21]

This is too complicated. I hate doing stuff like this. I have remembered a better solution. Virgin Media do live feed on their website and I have foudn it now and watching it from there. So Ill stick with this til the red button comes back on E4. Its free this live feed on Virgin Media.

[MR.K!]

cool thanks tom07.. il give it a try :thumbs:

[Razmataz]

Is there anything that can be done to freeview?

[Gap]

I can get it on sky but I don't think it's been available on freeview since BB6, the button's also black and gold in the BB7 colours, abit random I know but they should be bothered to change it :)

[Sunny_01]

cool thanks for that Tom means more hours for me to annoy my hubby :colour:

I have to say guys I agree with Amy. I've been using channel 12005 for BB live feed since BB6. It's really quick and easy to get into as well and as Amy says it's easier to use than the red button which you have to wait for then press something else and wait for that to come up.

The free live feed on Virgin Media broadband is good too ;)

Yeah mines been buggered all day today aswell, nothing on the 'secret channel' either. :puzzled:

[bananarama]

Yes. My reciever locked up when I tried.

I have also tried the frequency set up on "other channels" and get a technical fault report.

For anyone who does not know you can set up the red button channel as another channel.

Frequency 12480 V
27.5
FEC 2/3

Perhaps it's the great British weather we are having.. all should return when the weather calms down maybe?

I was watching them in the caravan.
I think the women in the big brother house are deluded. “Men in a relationship don't check out other women”, I've got bad news for you dears they do. Maybe it should be that way, but it just isn't. Men are basically programmed to look at women.
Their reason for attacking the twins was also quite feeble saying they are more intelligent, as Amanda added up the shopping list herself. Yes but they haven't seen her doing it as 4x80p isn't £4. I don't think they are stupid just more in trying to have fun and no one can keep an act up 24/7.
It was a real bitch fest and showed some not very nice aspects to all involved.
