Well the good news Dipo (I think anyway) is that briefly last night you WERE able to access it, so that answers the question of whether we'd be able to or not. I find it SO strange though that some are getting it just fine and others (quite a few others) are not. It's now nearly 6AM in Australia right now, HOPEFULLY they'll be working on it bright and early. Although, again, I'm really shocked they didn't have someone there to work on it ASAP, considering that hello, people paid for it.

Flagg, the guy that caps BB Australia is a mod in IRC, so it's put on the bot relatively quickly. Sometimes Usenet will get it before, sometimes IRC will get it before, not sure why.

Yea I think in the past there may have been a few people capping it. One of them would always post it to usenet first. Oh well it should show up eventually. usenet is so ridiculously fast for me and I'm familiar with it. I don't feel like figuring out how to do it via IRC, plus usenet is more invisible. on irc they can see your IP number.

I get and have always gotten my shows from tvguy. As far as I know there have been backups, but he's been the one I've mainly seen posting it. He's also the mod in IRC I've posted about.....I'm about 35 mins. into the opening show right now and I am SO wanting the dang feeds even more! I've used IRC for the past few years and feel the most comfy with it, so I'm the opposite. Hope it's up for you soon!

Yeah...I think the other two go in tonight (when some of the other twists are supposed to be revealed...there's the white room, and someone called "Mr X"...)

Here we are at almost 8AM Australian time and still no improvement. This HAS to be a joke. This is year SEVEN for them and they can't get the website working properly? I think I'm about to quit trying for the night, if anyone manages to log in PLEASE post here.

I was hoping they'd have it worked out by the time they got up in the morning, looks like that's not going to happen. You would think they'd acknowledge it on the main page with a notice or something, but there is no sign that anything is wrong on the OS. I'm just finishing up the launch show , I bet we'll have the monday show before we have streams.

Well, it's a blog by Lil' Sis..... http://bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/news.html?id=9 and someone at BBBA called TEN and they said they should have all the problems with the Premium section and the OS in genreal by tonight their time....those who signed up for PS will get an email apparently..

Okay since the site still isn't working right, maybe it's my paranoia working overtime....BUT....I noticed something. On the OS, the scrolling HMs ticker. Instead of 2 empty spots (for the HMs entering tonight, I'd assume) there are 4. Now, I don't know if that's just a glitch or what, but there are 4. And, I know Gretel said that the "White Room" wouldn't be a punishment OR rewards room, but I couldn't help but notice that the White Room had exactly 4 beds in it. Now, my mind is probably working in OVEDRIVE right now, so don't mind me, I just found it all very interesting. And about Lil' Sis.........could it be possible that she's one of the HMs? Could THAT be how she has all of the inside dirt? I know Gretel said something about only one person knowing about both relationships........more things that make ya go hmmmm.

Here's a link to a board that has ratings information if you're so interested.... http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/eblah/b-TVnews/ and care, maybe those 4 spots are for the 2 in tonight, the Golden Key winner, and another HM who comes in later? Lil' Sis is most likely a production blog...BBBA mentioned they had something similar for their version of AI...

I don't know any of the details on the white room. Just that there's a feed for it. As long as I can see the feeds, who cares about the rest of the original site Though it would kind of suck if it turns out I wasted $34 for nothing.

Well, reading the OS.... The 4 remaining possible HMs entered the WR and were told by BB that this would be where they're living. They're all dressed in white (which Kyra has already complained about). They can leave the room whenever they choose by pressing the red button in the middle of it. BUT, that means they leave the room, they leave the house, and their BB experience is over. The last man or woman standing will enter the BB House as a Wild Card. ALSO, Billy has entered the house along with Susannah and Zoran. Billy is Hayley's ex-boyfriend.......Hayley hasn't said much to anyone about it, she's not even sure that BB KNOWS he sent her ex in (she did possibly tell Joel or Thomas that she and Billy "used to be together")....apparently Billy's mission will be to cause problems for Hayley and ANDREW, who are either an already formed couple or are starting to couple up in the house....that part I have not gathered yet. I want to say they're an already formed couple because I see them spending time with everyone else rather than always with each other. So, my guess is when Gretel said one person would know about BOTH secret couples.....it'll be Billy who will, of course, know that he used to date Hayley and will also know that Andrew & Hayley are an item. Whew........I'm already spent! And after getting the LFs to work for hours this morning, I am getting a blasted white screen. :/

apparently, Billy's mission is to get Hayley/Andrew to admit that they're a couple....and if he "Gets his own back" by trying to get back with her/bust them up, that's a bonus for the producers.... and it may not be "slop" like the US, but it's close...the staples for the HM's are an all-vegan diet... and my over/under for the first person to press the button? 4 days (I think since the HM's know about the White Room, they'll have the chance to muck about with the enviroment or such)...This twist has been done before according to BBBA, but it sorta backfired as the first place it occured (Norway/Sweden), 3 of the 6 players originally put in the room lasted THIRTY DAYS...BB eventually had to have a competition ot decide who went in...

Time to once again get used to all of the strange Australian idiom and speech patterns. Like adding "..so, yeah..." as a conclusion to every story or conversation about themselve Nice to see some of the guys up early and actually speaking rather than just working out all the time. I do look forward to premium just so I can hopefully get bbreloader to work. Has anyone discovered how to get the feeds to keep playing without the timeout all the time and having to reload from the OS

Good question Flagg. My question is do you just get a window that shows the stream. No headers or footers or anything. I have been trying to figure out if it is even WMP, since I can't get to file or any of the other commands when it is on.

Mine has the big brother logo at the top of the window, unless you go full screen. The normal also has a phone ad at the bottom but the white room doesn't. I have extracted the stream url and watched it in WMP but it still times out after 10 or 20 mins and then the url doesn't work any more and you have to reload from the OS.

BBBA tends to harp on a bit too much about the task copying. Whats so bad about redoing some of the better tasks from other BBs? I guess BB AU makes it worse by crowing about all the "world firsts". Must be an Aussie insecurity that they always have to be "first"

How did you extract the url? Oh, I just found if I right click by the timer, I can get the properties which has a huge url, is that the one that you have used in WMP? Maybe someone can figure out what it is in the code that sets the time.
