Why does CBS even bother to pay to have four feeds?
Goddess146 | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 04:57 pm     Most of the time, the four live feeds are all showing the same scene. In any case, they never show more than two scenes on the four feeds. Even in the two scenes case, they FOTH both scenes when one something forbidden happens in one of the scenes. CBS is foolish to pay for four feeds when they only need one. It really can not be worth the expense to maintain the scam that we are buying four real feeds. |

Bohawkins | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 05:33 pm     Ryan, that same logic could be applied to the entire discussion board about bigbrother3. You could literally repeat your same lamentation about any topic which has had many postings. The problem with the feeds, and the pleas to have them improved is a valid topic. From protests come actions, and feedback in this forum (which is most likely read by BB people and Real.com people) can produce positive results. My suggestion is that if you see a thread with a topic which you think has been discussed enough, then simply do not read it. That is why threads have subject lines. Don't click on those. Keeping the topic of feed problems active is important. I notice that new twists are offered on the subject all the time. I am confident that this kind of customer reporting will produce positive results. |
Spygirl | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 05:54 pm     I have always wondered why they have four feeds. It seems like from the beginning in BB1, there have never been four unique shots, so why bother? Strange. |
Donut | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 06:15 pm     thank you goddess, i am always wondering that myself. its really annoying. last yr i got the feeds when there were hardly any people left and assumed that there just wasnt anything happening in more than two places, but now with 11 or 12 peoople they only seem to show like half of them and keep the rest secret, even tho they have the cameras on everywhere at all times they choose not to show us. and then theres always the mysterious disappearance of scenes which later reappear, like last night roddy and chaiara in major conversation on the hammock, then quick switch to other places with roddy and chiara in the other places, then later, back to them in the hammock in the exact same position. I wonder if they actually came back to their exact same positions, or if cbs just saved the convo and fed it to us later..... |
Zachsmom | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 06:33 pm     Donut.. Chiara and Roddy talked a bit..then got something to eat..then came back and talked a bit later.. |
Jesse | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 06:39 pm     According to Real, it is CBS that controls the feeds . . . CBS is not paying Real for 4 feeds . . . AS is so ignorant about the internet that the online component that is internationally part of BB is over his head. AS only includes the internet because he hasn't figured out in his "controll freak" mentality how to get rid of the internet component. |
Donut | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 06:42 pm     thanks zachsmom! i guess i blinked |
Auntiedotcom | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 07:27 pm     well, tonight i wonder why they have any feeds, all i am getting is the commercial for bb3 over and over again, then a timed out message. |
Tootseug | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 11:43 pm     perhaps AS has finally figured it out, Auntie. |
