We have the same problem with BBUK..
I have to download it everyday and then transfer it to my TiVo.
They're completely different shows. BBUK focuses more on the interpersonal relationships, while BBUSA is far more strategy oriented.
Some of the differences in the USA version, for those who don't watch it..
-HM's can talk about nominations/evictions, in fact this is critical (alliances).
-Two people are nominated for eviction by a HM who wins head of household (HoH), determined by a competition. That HM is immune from nomination/eviction.
-The public does not vote. HMs are evicted by the voting of their other HM's.
-There is no "Big Brother" who speaks or interacts. All house interaction is done by Julie, the host.
-Another HM can win power of veto (PoV) who can save one person from nomination, and the player who holds PoV is also immune from eviction.
-America's Player - A HM is voted to be America's Player and receives weekly challenges from the public. If those challenges are completed successfully, AP wins "something", either for the house of for themselves.
There are a few other differences as well, but as you can see, it's a very different show.
