Watching from Ireland..
 
Well it's no secret that Channel 5 doesn't air in Ireland (i think) but besides, my T.V broke.

So.... does nayone know if I'll be watch it from their official site (like you could on C4) or is there a site that someone will be uploading the shows o.O

Just wondering..






Man.. it's been a while since I've been here.....

InOne 02-08-2011 11:58 PM

Quite ironic the presenter is Irish yet it's hard to watch in Ireland :joker:

BigOz 03-08-2011 12:06 AM

Yeah it is... xD

So is there?

Tv3 are pursuing rights to broadcast the show....

BigOz 03-08-2011 12:18 AM

Well my T.V is said to be broken -.- and to be perfectly honest it;s not like we need it (no one really watches it anyway)

So.. how about any ways online?

Boothy 03-08-2011 12:37 AM

There's a Channel 5 on demand, I believe.

BigOz 03-08-2011 12:58 AM

I just quickly tried on Demand, and unfortunately I'm getting
"Not available in your coutnry" or something right that (i don't know why but I find that extremyl discrimanotory).

Vicky. 03-08-2011 01:00 AM

I shouldnt really advise this...but use a proxy. Should be able to get on it that way

Ramsay 03-08-2011 01:02 AM

Vicky you rebel!

BigOz 03-08-2011 01:06 AM

Well thanks anyway, I'll see what I can do when the launch night comes.... which is when btw?

Boothy 03-08-2011 01:12 AM

Google 'Hotspot Shield'.

And I don't think the launch date has been fully confirmed but I think it's the 17th. Either that or 18th.

Vicky. 03-08-2011 01:14 AM

Hotspot shield totally ****ed my laptop a few months back. never again :bored:

Boothy 03-08-2011 01:15 AM

Oh. You might not wanna get that then :D

I've never had a problem with it, mind.

Vicky. 03-08-2011 01:23 AM

Im not sure if it was that...but it happened right after I downloaded it. Everything kept freezing...took the shield and a load of other crap off and it worked fine again D:

you will struggle to access 5 on demand or catchuptv (you could watch it live on there) using a proxy they are pretty unreliable and most dont support flash the best way is to subscribe to a vpn service https://vpnuk.info is a good one it costs £4.25 a month but is a rock solid way of being able to make it look like you are based from whatever country you like.
and it encrypts everything so your isp wont have a clue what your up to its worth researching vpn services they are the way forward :)

Why were 3e not able to acquire the rights to the show? Channel 5 looking for too much money?? Irish viewers are not able to see streaming on any of the Channel 5 sites either so we basically screwed! Luckily I have Channel 5 tuned onto my Sky dish but the majority of loyal Big Brother viewers will not be able to see the show and I think its disgraceful!!!

Niamh. 03-08-2011 10:02 AM

I have Channel 5 :D You can tune it in if you have a sky box

Novo 03-08-2011 10:19 AM

Time to pack your bags and move to England

saraholeila 03-08-2011 01:10 PM

Why won't Sky add Channel 5 for us in Ireland I wonder? That would be amazing!

You can tune it in if you have a sky box on extra channels, someone explained how to do it in an other thread, I'll try and find it

saraholeila 03-08-2011 01:34 PM

Hi Niamh, I have it tuned into 'Other Channels', but I'm a Sky+ addict, and I hate not series linking stuff like BB in case I miss an episode :) Annoyed with TV3 and C5 deal not working out.

armand.kay 03-08-2011 01:37 PM

how do you program it into your sky box ?
