Just for the fun of it I checked out www.bigbrother.de This is their second season and I clicked on the cameras, chose the fastest connection, and I couldn't believe my eyes...

The quality and size of the image is unbelievable, it is almost like watching TV. I actually have never seen such a realplayer quality before.

Make sure you click on the 'blue' cameras, they are free for everyone. For the 'red' cameras you need to give up your email address and they will mail a password to you. They also have a camera that gives you a 360degree view while it is playing and updating.

CBS - CHEAPSKATES how can they cheat us out of this much fun?!?!?!

Frankly, i've seen both the German and American Broadband feeds and I find the American fine, especially audio-wise. I too was surprised at the quality the first time saw and heard the broadband, since i'd never seen streaming media of that level of quality. But as I said, the American Broadband feed is fine. CBS did alot of things wrong on this show, but the feed isn't one of them.

I would have to agree that the feed is MUCH better there. Hopefully not only will there be a next season but also much better cam feed.

Wow I just went there and checked it out...

They have real time tracking of each HG (done separately) in a blue print of the house, so you know where each HG
is.... too Cool!!

Now I just have to learn to speak German. :)

BTW I think Hinton was pointing out size & quality
of the officially available feeds on www,bigbrother2000.com
not the hacked ones most of us watch.

I use big brother live 3.0 and all this time I thought my computer was the problem. I finally got a cable modem and was really disappointed in the view (I tried it in broadband and regular). I really hope by February that CBS will upgrade their feeds. The German feeds were great compared to ours.

It would've been nice if I could actually get a feed to work! I tried the BB2000 feeds as well as the direct links using RealPlayer Basic 8, then BigBroLive.. neither worked. I kept getting "Unable to establish connection to server." popups. I thought it could've been my proxies considering I'm behind a firewall here at my workplace, but I could get the UK BB feed with no problems whatsoever. It could be a simple fix like using Rplayer 7 or G2 instead of 8).. or AOL SUCKS!

Oh well, as Eddie would say: "Sucks to be you, bro". At least I enjoyed the transcripts from this terrific site! Plus, I didn't get fired for watching BB on the clock!
