Misadvertising the live feeds

no, this isn't another post complaining about the '24/7' feeds not really being on 24/7...

Last night while watching the show, I noticed during one of the commercial breaks the advertisement for the live feeds. The pictures shown of the HGs had the Real player screen, complete with the live feed buttons off to the right, 4 cameras plus a quad feed button...

Then I noticed one of the views shown during the commercial was a house guest in the Diary Room! Now I know that sometimes the live feed shows a clip of someone in the DR, but we all know these are quickly changed to FOTH or a different camera...

So is the commercial intentionally misleading people, who think they can sign up for live feeds and see the DR sessions? Or are the 'accidental' slips on the live feeds that show the DR for a second the way that BB can get away with their commercial?

hmmmmm... something to think about while we wait for the feeds to come back and find out the results of the POV meeting...

You say "get away with this commercial" like it's some big deal. It's not like they're trying to find a loop hole to advertise the live feeds with DR sessions. I doubt many people watch that commercial and go, "I want to see more DR sessions, so I'm going to get the live feeds."

Also, on the realplayer site, it shows a picture of Ivette inside the feed box and says "Can she will this time?" or something similar. Does that mean they are misadvertising the feeds because they are showing Ivette in the feeds, making a promise that she is going to appear in the feeds?

It's not like they're promising that you will see DR sessions, they're just showing a picture of the HouseGuests.

^ I agree. I don't pay any attention to those commercials. I never noticed they had a picture like that in the commercial. But I don't think it's a big deal.

:) lol it's not a big deal... I admit I was bored during the FOTH time lol and usually I'm skipping over the commercials when watching shows :) Just noticed it and thought it was a bit odd they were showing something I know we can't actually see :blink:

George could make a point though if he had nothing better to do with his time or money. All they'd do is take that part off or add a disclaimer though so it hardly seems worth it. Yup - you were bored!!! :D
