uknova is ... like demonoid ... a limited subscription site. that is, they have a limit to the number of people who can sign up. they occasionally open the registration, but I don't know if it's scheduled (like demonoid does it on Fridays if room is available) or if you just gotta keep checking in and be lucky. I have yet to figure out the newsgroups option, although I'm trying. I find the easiest way for me to download the UK BB is through a regular torrent site here is a list of torrent sites ... and you also have to download a torret software, Google for options, I have utorrent http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/romeria/search.htm

Mama ... I had to have a "geek" friend of mine come over and set me up. sigh. I'm just one generation away from the total immersion needed to have this all come second nature. well, a little commentary. the HM (HG? can't remember what's what in each country) have been told to pack for 3 days. rumor is that the Goody family is coming to the house next door. someone is going to be "adopted" ... and it won't be pretty. now, I never saw Jade Goody, so am highly anticipating if this is so. OH ... the live show is starting now!

Hey Mama, I found a link to this site http://bbuk7.up-file.net/ on another site. I'm at work right now and don't have much time to explore it but there is supposedly information (as well as a LOT of other stuff) on how to download the episodes. Like I said, I don't have time to look at it now, but I will try and find out and if I get it I will let you know.

I found some pretty good instructions for the feeds, mama, if you are interested in that let me know. I'm not going to watch the feeds, the tv version is good enough for me. (Do they still show the feeds for free on late night tv? I know they used to do that..) OH and I meant to post these pics of the house for those of us still trying to figure out how to watch lol.

I am so enjoying this. I had no idea who Jade was when they brought her out tonight since I never saw her BB season, but she and her mom look like they will be a fun addition. If I had Dirk as my slave, he would be giving me back rubs all days..LOL That man is so handsome to me. I seem to like them all right now. I was scared I wasn't going to like Donny, but he seemed ok after he calmed down and the booze wore off. One more thing...I am totally stunned Shilpa is on this show. I mean in her country, she is as high of A list celebrity you can get. Also. I was hoping the dirty living conditions would be worse. They didnt seem so terrible.

I have long wanted to see a BB with grownup adult folks. now, while these aren't "normal" folks, they are reasonably down to earth. nothing like some of the flakes/freaks previously (ex: Pete from last year Celeb ...) but folks with kids, dignity, life skills endure the UK BB experience. so was keen to watch this unfold and then ... WHAM ... what a cringe worthy cartoon of a duo. it's almost too forced of a "twist", as much fond of those twists as the UK BB is. painful. almost as painful to watch as the last week of BBAS ... Jermaine has been so gracious trying to calm the waters between Shilpa and (there must be a good acronym we can come up with for "de mutter"... I'm really enjoying Cleo and Dirk. and have missed that "Daaayyeah Two ..." announcement at the beginning of the shows.

I agree with you for sure...It sure is nice seeing some grown-ups. It's funny not hearing everyone call each other "babes"..LOL Well, funny isn't the word...It's nice not hearing it.

OMG! I just watched day 4 daily show. Donny jumped the wall and left the house! How disappointing. He didn't want to wait on people. The other thing I am finding interesting is how Leo is complaining about having to wait on people. Sheesh, he just won't see the silly fun in it. After seeing his attitude, I wont be sad seeing him leave first.

Maris, StreamTV is (to me) a pretty complicated set up. it took me 3 days and two complete "do overs" to get it. I did find the FAQ to be very complete, and I remember I had to download a "codec" ... which instructions I found in the FAQ. I'm not anywhere near techy enough to help you troubleshoot, so sorry about that. there is a section at streamtv where you can ask questions ... and I found that looking through the help section at other folks questions helpful also.

I tried downloading codecs but it didnt work, still getting audio though. How many kids does Jermaine have, I have lost count at 12. Three kids same age by different women, one whose mane is Jermajesty? All the jacksons are crazy.

Apparently Ken walked out this afternoon after a fight with Jade... http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,11049-2007010027,00.html At least everyone else (in the main house) will get some sleep now..

Hi folks ! This is my first time of being able to watch UK BB (courtesy UKNova) What a hoot ! So much different than US BB. It's so compelling, like watching a train wreck. The older celebrities I've heard of but the rest are total no bodies to me. I'm wondering if I should get the live feeds? Is it worth it or do the daily tv shows pretty much cover it all? I ask because on BBUS if you don't watch the live feeds you don't get the 'real' story, if you know what I mean.

IMO the UK feeds do a much better job of representing what went on that day ... AND have the added benefit of being daily rather then just a few times a week... than the US feeds. so, if you watch the daily shows you'll be pretty well entertained, and pretty caught up. the feeds? they are for the truly obsessed. me? oh, I was just trying new software and stumbled across BBUK. yeah ... that's it.

Can you even get the internet feeds if you're outside of the UK? I thought you had to have a UK credit card (read: UK billing address) to sign up.. The daily shows definitely seem to give a good feel for what is going on. Not that I've ever seen the feeds but the way it's presented is just like "here's what's happening" without any forced storylines or anything. (Which the US version has to have due to only getting 3 shows a week) This season has me even more hooked than last season, if that's possible. Shilpa really surprised me, I expected her to be a total demanding princess and she seems like a total sweetheart.

"the feeds? they are for the truly obsessed." I think you can get the feeds through the site mentioned up thread (stream tv) but as they don't really support Mac, and I'm starting back to work this week I should probably not. Yeah Shilpa has got class. And class (or lack of it) is what it's all about (still) in England. It's a very interesting how the Celebs seemed to use status to pick the 3 who stayed behind in the big house. Now with the arrival of the Goody family, the remaining celebs being servants it sets up an interesting juxtaposition.
