redtootsiepop Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Got this annoucement from Entertainment Weekly Online http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20041846,00.html Big Brother, After Dark launching on Showtime Come July 5, rabid fans of CBS's Big Brother will have a new way to spy on the show's sequestered houseguests: the eye will start airing live feeds from the house on one of its sister Showtime channels. Dubbed Big Brother, After Dark, the live action in the house will air every night from 12 p.m. to 3 a.m. on SHOTOO, a Showtime channel that airs mostly theatricals and adult flicks and is available in over 14 million homes. This is the first time the network has aired live feeds on TV, though they have been available via the internet since BB launched seven years ago. Also new for fans this summer: episodes will be available on CBS.com. The eighth season of Brother will air Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.

Kim620 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I didn't see this posted anywhere if it is I am sorry for the double post but.......Hercules over at http://www.aintitcool.com/ is reporting "Live & Uncensored, To Air Three Hours A Night Seven Days A Week On Showtime Too" Here's the link http://www.aintitcool.com/node/32946 Good thing I just switched to Showtime LOL.

DreamAngel Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I'm going to see if I can find it on a TV program I have because we don't get it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumblonde Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 WOOHOO I get Showtime, of course I get the live feeds too but it will be much more fun watching it on my TV. Hmmmm I wonder which feed they will show or will they show the split-screen/4 feed view & if they do that which sound feed will you get Hey that article said the feeds would be going up to $14.99/month. That would be $44.97 vs the old $24.99. I hope that part's not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yana Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 They were $ 13.99 a month last year... I don't know what the 3 month charge was though... I just remember that for some reason I went with the monthly charges instead of the 3 month charges... I believe that the charge was $ 39.99 without the discount code though... Somewhere in that range... They go up every year and I guess this year isn't going to be any different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamAngel Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I got the 3 month. And the way I look at it, it's cheaper then going to the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yana Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 That is true Dream... It's also cheaper than my hubby's xbox points... He just spent $ 69.99 for points and he does that about 4 times a year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamAngel Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Ouch. What are they, lined in gold? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yana Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 LOL You would think... They are how microsoft makes them pay for updates to the game they already have... At least my feeds aren't that expensive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumblonde Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I just looked at my real player billing history... I paid $24.99 in 2005 (because I used the $5 off coupon) & I paid $29.99 in 2006 (I think because I signed up thru Morty's & you don't get the use the coupon that way but I can't remember for sure as it was a year ago). This year the real site is showing the feeds to cost $39.99 for the whole season. I will pay whatever but that's quite a jump (30% in one year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamAngel Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 The cost last year was $39.99 before the $10 discount code. I just checked my account history in real. So it's the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yana Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I don't know if you can use the discount code through Morty's or not... I never looked... Well, last year they charged me the $ 13.99 and when I called to cancel my feeds I asked them why I didn't get the discount and they gave it to me at that time... I got $ 15.00 back on my card...

dumblonde Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Ahhh OK. My account doesn't show any discounts just the actual billed amount of $29.99. Now that I think about it I remember trying to sign up thru Morty's but it would never go thru, I kept getting error messages. I had waited til the last day & time was running out so I had to go to the real website & do it there. This year I will need to start trying earlier so Morty can get the kickback to cover all the bandwidth I plan to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yana Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Yep, going through Morty's will really help with the bandwidth... YAY for Blondie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumblonde Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I swear I did try thru Morty's last year. I even PM'd Jem because I couldn't get it to go thru. I ended up panicking before she could get back to me & ordering them thru Real. I will start earlier this year so that won't happen again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katydidit Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 So this Showtime delivery will only cover the house until midnite BB time? We all know that midnite to 3 would make much more interesting viewing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yana Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Yeah, looks that way... We live feeders can just watch the feeds... I don't think I will talk to hubby about getting showtime after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfRealityTV Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Yep, going through Morty's To order the feeds?? how do we do this, I will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumblonde Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 To order the feeds thru Morty's... Last year there was a link at the top of the very front Morty's page. I had to turn off my firewall to see it because my firewall blocks ads. I don't see it yet but my firewall is running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisyflower Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Whew! I had to re-read post#1 before my panic settled.I thought it was implying that the feeds would only be on Showtime. Thankfully they will still be on RealPlayer..... And I think that is what I will stick with. I can''t justify paying for both and I would much prefer the internet feeds with access anytime I want it. I wonder if the Showtime one will have FOTH though????????? ROFL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddyhouse Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I still have Real Player from 2 summers ago....2005. I am charged $9.99 per month and everytime I try to cancel, they give me a free month. So, I really only pay about 8 out of 12 months. Mine started out 2 yrs ago as the discount for BB6 at $9.99 per month and it has never changed.

WannaBeBB9 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Same here almost, I signed up for the feeds two years and forgot to cancel. My card has never been charged! I still have real player and last year I got the feeds. There is a glitch somewhere but I don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest janey_doll Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I have the shotoo channel and will be recording the feeds from the TV everynight for the whole 3 months of BB, so anyone who doesn't have the channel and wants to have the TV feeds let me know and we can work something out and I can make you a copy. Please PM me ahead of time so i will know how many copies i will be making and how many discs i should stock up on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
