While I agree with all the frustrations about FOTH, it would be at least a little less disgusting if the darn muzak wasn't twice the volume of normal conversations.

I also think it sucks that the HGs know about it.

UNlimited access should allow 24/7 access to what goes on in the DR (yes, I know I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only FOTH)

Maybe we should contact ABC & NBC and have them do a story about CBS's false advertizing..

Roddy hadn't been singing now all of a sudden he is singing every few minutes. I think he is doing it on purpose so that they are cutting to the FOTH every few minutes. I think the DR needs to have a chat with him. I guess this is his way of getting back at BB.

Just another great piece of info Amy was able to find while outside... she told the HG's about the FOTH while they are singing. If they had any doubt before they know for sure now.

I think they should all be gathered in a room and told to quit with the singing and naming people....next one gets a penalty nom....that will put a stop to this nonsense!!! FOTH FOTH FOTH...I am frothing at the mouth...!!!!!!!!

A good thing about Roddy sending us to FOTH every 15 mins is my Real Player hasn't timed out in a few days. I bet that not using penality nom's is one of those rules that BB changed, LOL.

I agree they need to tell all of them to cut out the singing or else penalty noms will be handed out.

They're not going to give penalty noms just because we hate FOTH. Penalty noms should only be given for something that has an adverse effect on the game. Not something that has an adverse effect on our viewing.

Ryan, I understand that but they need to do something, because some of that singing is done on purpose to go to the FOTH. And I know if some of us can see that BB can see that.

They're not going to. They don't see it as a problem. They do not want the live feeds to begin with, the only reason they have them at all is to keep us quiet.

Well I don't know why they have to go to FOTH when someone sings or says names....why can't they just cut the sound or switch to a different scene....I'd like to make those people look at that house and listen to that music till it drives them nuts!!!!!

I can understand sometimes when they go to front of house, singing etc... But there are times it makes no sense at all.

Luckily I haven't paid for the feeds yet, i'm still on the 2 week trial. Reading this though sure doesn't encourage me to go further than the 2 weeks.

In another thread someone mentioned punishing the houseguests ie take away their hot tub privilidges, microwave, cards, duck ball, dryer, ect...then maybe they wouldn't play such childish games.

I really feel bad for those of you have paid for the feeds, that really does suck. Not nice of the houseguests, especially that they don't appreciate us.

I think we should start protesting!!! Is there someone we can write to?? Or phone??

I cancelled my subscription because they weren't showning everything. Maybe other people should cancell and maybe they will listen to us buy losing money.

I'd say in the future, tell the hgs they don't want them to sing because of the expense and process of copyright laws. Tell them that if they forget or choose to sing anyway, they will have a set amount deducted from their stipends for each infraction. Keep a running total for them, too, so they can know what their singing is 'worth' and decide to do it or not. Not sure what the expense to CBS is per song, but if possible I'd pass on the total amt to the HG who sang. Group singing would warrant sharing the expense equally for any and every one who sang so much as a note. That will separate the songbirds pretty quickly!

I also like the suggestion of them either muting the feeds but keep the video on, or in lieu of that, at least turn the blasted volume DOWN on the FOTH music so it doesn't blast the listeners' eardrums. Not too unreasonable a request, unless there's some technical reason I'm unaware of that requires the volume to be set so loudly. Doubt it though.

I was traveling so didn't bother getting feeds till almost two weeks ago---my free trial's up soon and I'm not sure if I'll order them or not.
Gotta feed the BB addiction and not sure if just the board/LFPs, as wonderful and informative as they are, will suffice to meet the need :).

Is there any source to verify how many folks have ordered paid feeds? Just curious what CBS' profits are from them? (assuming it's them of course...pls inform me if there's another company getting the moolah...thanks)
