well they taped the launch show for air tomorrow...14 HM's for now, but they're starting out with a twist- they're in the backyard, but aren't allowed into the house until they decide among themselves which one to evict before they go in...

Hey Rosem!!
Im trying to get things figured out for us mac huggers. A nice poster named Geoooo on the BB AUS site is trying to help. I dont have the tv show thing working yet, but here is a link to the thread. Let me know if you come up with anything.

Ive downloaded the mac Torrent file she said i needed, but now I need something else for my Quicktime, but I dont know what, Yeesh!!
Im hoping that the feeds work, since the video works on the site for me. I think they may broadcast a bit of the feeds for free, so we can hopefully see if they work well for us or not.
Looks like the show premieres at 2am CA time, so the feeds should be on then, or maybe before. Its sounds from the BB boards like they put the feeds on earlier then they do here in the US.
Let me know if you figure out anything more!!

Birddy, how do the feeds come on?? are they in their own pop up window like with the Real Player, or are they just on a section of the BBAUS webpage??

Woot! I was able to get all signed up and now I guess I'm just waiting for the feeds to come on.

the first show hasn't aired yet dipo- they taped it Sunday night (because of the hosts' other commitments), but it's not going to be on until tonight their time-the feeds will probably be on in about 12 hours, say about 4-6am Eastern or so...

this year with the new hosts it is all being worked around their commitments..such as I said nominations happening right after eviction..Kyle and Jackie are available one night per week..where Gretel had nothing else on her plate

btw..just a little gossip Bree (FNGames host) is now living with Bodie from last year...

Hi Christiii! I've been away from my computer most of the weekend, and just saw your message.

I'm at work now, but when I get home tonight I'm going to see if I can get any feeds. I'll let you know. I have torrents and quicktime, so I'm hoping that's all I'll need.

We'll see!

I'm looking forward to seeing BBAU and chatting with you guys.

This last season of BB in the US just sucked!

and now the Australian fans are compaining about the fact they've not started the feeds yet (looks like they won't start them until after Tuesday's eviction)...

Just a heads up for new Australian BB viewers...

My experience has been that the feeds the first couple of days are very spotty, so be prepared. They just don't seem to have the bandwidth to cope with the initial demand. It gets like that also when something significant is happening in the house, like the aftermath of an eviction, especially a surprise one.

But, overall, BBAU is usually a great experience. You just have to give it a chance.

how do the feeds show up?? are they in a seperate window, like Realplayer, or are they just a small window on the main BB website?

Christiii, as I recall, you click a link and the media player opens, just like with real.
