I think the feeds are on delay because they are censored to a point where as Showtime doesn't need that. They were talking abotu handlers, singing and stuff on Showtime, that's all stuff that they cut out of the internet.

I think it's the same "delay" you might have if you are running the feeds on more than one computer at the same time. I do it and notice they are never running exactly the same. It depends on the stream you have accessed.

I didn't mind the commercials. It gave me a chance to go to the bathroom.

I live on the West coast and have DirecTV. Our Showtime package includes only the East coast ShowToo so that BBAD airs beginning at 9pm here. I don't mind the commercials, as I use that time for a potty break or for whatever.

BB-AD is on here at 8pm. Works good for me because I'm still in bed by midnight. Must say as I've never watched the live feeds before, that I thought the whole After Dark thing was a bit confusing and sometimes downright boring. These are some pretty boring folks. Wish we had the After Dark option last year.

Question - What was up with the girl (was it Jen?) going into the HOH and messing with the remote control and monitor. Did I see her remove the batteries from the remote? Did she put them back?

Help me understand. If I get Show Too East Coast and Show Too West Coast, I could watch 6 hours of live feeds each night? Or is the West Coast a recording of what people watched on the East Coast?

Reiki - it's the same 3 hours (9pm - Midnight, House Time) shown twice.

Reiki

ShowToo only broadcasts 3 hours a night. If you have multiple sources the other airings are simply a repeat.

Yes, it is.

Snowgal she was trying to get the remote to work and would take out the batteries and put them back in to reset the remote.

Thanks Typingfool! I thought maybe she took the batteries out so that it wouldn't work any more. Guess she's not as crafty as I thought.

There was a conversation between Nick and Zack, I think, in the bedroom. They were whispering, so I muted it, and backed up and the closed caption transcribed every word. It was GREAT!! Has anyone else tried that? I LOVE MY TIVO!!

Holy Batcave Theowl I never thought to put on closed captioning. I couldn't understand any of the whispering last night. I will do that tonight.

having a Deaf daughter I always have my captioning on (even though she moved out on her own, old habits die hard)
That has to be the best thing about BBAD.

It's not a recording; it's live. The WC would get it from 9:00PM-12:00AM; while the EC gets it from 12:00AM-3:00AM. It should be on in all the areas of the U.S. at the same time. CT gets it from 11:00PM-2:00 AM.

WC gets it from 12-3 wc time ...but its a repeat of what EC saw from12-3 their time

only way WC-ers can watch at 9pm wc time is if they have ShoE (showtime east coast feed)

Showtime airs as follows:
If you have direct or dish midnight eastern.
If you have cable like comcast midnight your timezone.

For example, I have dish, I live in Utah, it came on 10pm. Sanfranjosh has comcast, he lives in california he got it at midnight pacific.
Edited to make it more understandable.

Kiari, Showtime didn't "pick it up" CBS owns Showtime and was looking for another way to profit on BB.

I tried to watch the feeds on Showtime last night and again this afternoon. It seems the camera only likes to focus on Danielle, whether she is speaking or not. B-O-R-I-N-G. I hope this season gets better! I do like the uncensored aspect of the show.

I didn't even realize I got the second showing at 2 AM here on the showtime west until I looked closely this morning at the listings. I am very relieved because I thought I was going to have to miss all my night time talk shows all summer.

Anyway, besides the wonderful picture quality compared to the internet, I find myself enjoying the wonderful TV sound quality even more.

All in all, I give "After Dark" a major thumbs up.

We watched a little of it right after BB last night (we have DISH on the west coast, so it came on at 9:00 here). It was so boring, we only watched a few minutes before going to bed. I did record it. Did anything happen worth watching or should I delete it?

I think this will be more interesting to watch as the weeks go by....when they start plotting more. I think they are still on good behaviour, but that will change

It was switching last night from boring convos to some interesting game talk whenever Dick was on camera. Babyjax - it's just like the feeds - some of it is very interesting and some of it is very boring. If you want to FF to all of Dick's game talk, you'll see how he is trying to control things early. There was also an interesting bit with Joe & Amber in the storage room.

Pamy - agreed.
