Ocean_Islands | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 07:58 pm  Dudes are playing cards right now. Here is the site: http://www.grandefratello.com/ Hit "In Diretta" Then choose which cam. They are currently in "Cucina" -- kitchen. Of course, it helps if you speak Italian. Using Windows Media, the image is 5x clearer than it was with Real Player. Incredible view. |
Laurie | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 08:31 pm  Ocean is Italy the only one going now? Can't we get something in English? |
Tatianna | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 08:32 pm  Find me a BB in English and I am there!!! |
Prince | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 08:35 pm  Won't be the same without Eddie, Josh, Curtis, Jaime, George, Cassandra, Brittany, Karen, Jordan, and Mega. |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 08:38 pm  No, but it's cool anyway. Maybe somebody's gonna hook up there like they did last week. The one in England is over already. It's interesting, but the Italian one has eight live feeds. You get to choose the view! They're awake right now, and it's 6.30 a.m. |
Megacad | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 08:40 pm  Netherlands BB2, Switzerland, and Italy are all up now. I was just poking around the Netherlands site -- it's amazing. Looks like they managed to squeeze a couple more rooms into the house. They also have past highlights on the NL page, and on the one I clicked they were doing the dance marathon. The site (www.big-brother.nl, I believe) also has links to all the other world sites in the front page. You can also check: http://members.tripod.lycos.nl/mas33/watch/bbworld.html |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 08:44 pm  Their moving cameras don't make any noise, either. We got short shrift, didn't we. That blond is pretty hot, too. |
Laurie | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 08:48 pm  Ocean, ROFLOL... You are doing pretty good with that Italian... I am impressed! I need English though... |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 08:56 pm  OMG they're actually doing it right now, on the sofa in the living room. They've taken drapes and draped them over the sofa. I'm not kidding! |
Nybob99 | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 09:01 pm  Ocean looked at the Italian bb site looks like they stole the furniture from bb calif. UMMMM' is there an audio translator that I can download from somewhere..... in withdrawel need feeds |
Simonshado | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 09:08 pm  I will translate Italian BB for you: Blonde Hottie: Do you like my ... persimmons? Dark Vader: They are ... adequate. Personally, I prefer ... cucumbers. |
Megacad | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 09:19 pm  Ocean, you don't say! We need an Italian "live feeds" section, pronto! How do you say "Chicken Man" in Italian? |
Megacad | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 09:21 pm  Actually, it would be pretty funny to see the Chicken Man walk into the Italian living room right now in the Chicken Suit. "You guys are doing it! Ahh ha ha! The Chicken Man thinks dat's great, guys. The Chicken Man aint gonna get in your way . . . ." |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 09:21 pm  How should I know? By the way, he's chatting her up right now. |
Delia | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 09:27 pm  The Belgium BB is in progress: www.BigBrother.be Hope this helps. Delia |
Larrblue | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 09:36 pm  Yes, I noticed too that the live feeds for Europe were much CLEARER than the US ones - even with my 56K slow modem. Why is that? I will NOT watch the Italian one - this is over for me and I will NOT become addicted to another one. |
Chrisp | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 10:00 pm  Woo-hoo! I tuned in just in time to listen to two of the Italians having sex! They're speaking the "international language" right now! They've pulled one of the couches up against the window and pulled the drapes over the couch to hide from the cameras. |
Jacque | Friday, September 29, 2000 - 10:01 pm  Anybody know the BBLive Feeds for these foreign shows????? |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, September 30, 2000 - 09:36 am  Believe it or not, the sex did actually happen last night. While you couldn't see it because of the drapes, you could hear every ... breath. Why can't Americans loosen up, anyway? If it had happened here, they probably would have cut to the chicken cam. |
Ocean_Islands | Saturday, September 30, 2000 - 09:52 am  I thought this was hilarious from the Yahoo article that you can access under "Big Brother in the news" -- articles "Sex and controversy could also explain why the European versions of Big Brother were so popular. In Germany, one contestant oiled her breasts for the cameras every day--while America's version had some of the women showering in swimsuits. And just four days into Italy's Big Brother, two of the contestants were already having sex--while American viewers' only hint of sexual escapades involved guessing whether Eddie was masturbating under his bed sheets." |
Scribe | Saturday, September 30, 2000 - 10:49 am  Thanks so much. I tried to find it the other day but got a connection that didnt let me get video...this video connection is bigger, clearer, and the sound better than in the AOL real PLayer...Plus fortunately I speak Italian (though a bit rusty) and this is just great...thanks... |
Sanzir | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 04:07 am  I am having difficulty getting into the live feeds for the Italian BB. I speak the lingo too.(Italian-Canadian here). I registered for JUMPY...am I missing something? Help? I got on the Swiss German one no probs, but I don't speak it. |
Tootseug | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 05:26 am  Yes, I am having the same problem. I can get every other big brother. Swiss, swedish, dutch,german. However, the italian, just stumps me. I did the indiretta thing, but when I click on cuchina or other cams, I get no live feed. HELP!! What am I doing wrong? From above post, what is the jumpie thing? |
Ocean_Islands | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 05:40 am  You need Jumpy only for the bedroom cams, as far as I understand. The other cams should work without having to register. You probably don't have Windows media, or there is a problem with your Windows media set up, or some such thing. |
Tootseug | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 05:42 am  Never mind, GOT IT! Now if I can keep from getting bumped off, it'll be all good. Thanks for posting this Ocean Islands. |
Scribe | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 06:07 am  Let me give some of my experience and I think that may explain...be patient...last night it took me an hur to figure out what Ocean just told us all here (I should have checked back!!!) Jumpy is needed (I registered and reading a contract of privacy and rights in Italian was a bit of a stretch but I don't think I sold my first born or anything) for the bathroom and bedroom cams...otherwise you just need to connect to www.grandefratello.com....I upgraded my Windows MeidaPlayer to #7 and after I did that it worked better...I am an aol subsriber and I have had no conflict...NOTE: I did not download any software from Jumpy ... after I regisetred I left...it seems OK. But I had trouble last night getting connected to the server that brings us the Italian video...this mornign I seem ok ...so I learned that it is NOT my pc or connection but itnernet traffic....so a bit of patience does it... Now to the content...I haven't figured out the cast yet (pics connected to bodies) I think last week there was a connection between Pietro and Christina and one of them wants to just mess around and not be tied down and the other isn't so sanguine with that ...anyway I did say my italian is rusty... Right now they are all eating ..... but the reality is that this cannot be ike BB USA becasue it is missing the primary reason I stayed with it...BBFC....the transcriptions of the live feeds let me catch up at anytime with anything I missed...I haven't found that for this one. I tried UK BB before it ended...and didn't connect with the cast...I think I tried belgium but I will go back again...hopefully they are speaking french and not flemish (no flemish in my house). Anyway i will check back here periodically to see if anyone else is following BB Italia.... Ciao |
Delia | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 01:23 pm  Can someone please help me regarding the Italian BB video feeds? It all works fine EXCEPT the video feeds keep shutting down. It runs for a few minutes then the video and audio stop, I get this server disconnection thing on my screen and I have to click on start once again, then the process repeats over and over. Is there a way to have the Italian feeds run as nonstop as the BB-Burbank feeds did? Thanks for your help. P.S. I'm running 56K modem and use the Windows Media Player that comes up for the Italian feeds. Delia |
Ocean_Islands | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 03:16 pm  Mine does that too. I just think it's their way of keeping the traffic down. But if you remember in the beginning our BB show live feed was that way too, until they worked out the bugs. |
Delia | Sunday, October 01, 2000 - 10:19 pm  Thanks Ocean. Delia |
Heyteach | Monday, October 02, 2000 - 12:18 am  I have registered with Jumpy but I still can't see the live feeds! *sob* When I click on in directo I get the list of cameras, then when I click on a camera, I get the list of connections. If I click modem it wants to download the same file every time and then that's the end of it! What do I need to do? (Why am I asking?? This is just feeding a bad habit...) |
Jenijenjeni | Tuesday, October 03, 2000 - 09:51 pm  TRANSLATOR is available thru AltaVista at http://babel.altavista.com/translate.dyn Just type in the Italian BB website address and click on Translate button. Live feeds are NOT translated but most site is. |
Admin | Tuesday, October 03, 2000 - 09:58 pm  I've set up a discussion area for this show too......it's under Other Shows If it gets big enough it'll get it's own main topic! |
Georgeisagoner | Friday, October 06, 2000 - 08:06 pm  Boy do I wish I spoke Italian! Pietro is a cutie and Christina seems to get around, in other words-I think she's very popular. The only thing I could understand was nominacion---I guess in any language it sucks. |
