Marty Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Oh I saw a blog about that today. It seems that CBS is not making enough money on the feeds. I didn't know if it was just an Internet rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LenRay Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Next they'll lose the 24/7 feeds, then lose BBAD and then no one will be able to love/hate the HGs!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hnybny91 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Does this mean that people will not be able to post them on you tube as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarB Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I'd say so - people will probably put stuff up and then you tube will take it down. Blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dade Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 If you go back a day or two on the BB fan page and click on a "See video here" link it will take you to youtube but it says "This video has been removed by the user. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crys2101 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 That sucks. I have the feeds and I still watch the videos on you tube. You can't watch the feeds 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LenRay Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Those network A-Holes will do anything to squeeze more money out of us!!! CBS DISRESPECTED US YET AGAIN!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vannatc1 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I agree with Crys. I have the feeds but I can't always watch them all the time. So I love seeing what's posted here and on youtube. This REALLY REALLY sucks and I would LOVE to see if there is ANYTHING we can do about it. I play catch up with the videos posted here and on youtube.

6red6diablo6 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Ok, so please tell me that the shows can still be posted! I work afternoons and rely on the fact that I can watch the episodes here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LenRay Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Does CBS think their ratings will go up? I doubt that. No one has time to watch the 24/7. And with gas, etc., going up every penny counts will many!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yana Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I don't think full show's are going to be allowed either, cause you can go to cbs.com and see them there the next day... ... CBS can just at this point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheeltitan Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 wow. That sucks. I really hope CBS doesn't ever cut the feeds to BB b/c then IMO it would really take away from what I love about BB more than any TV show: we can know what's REALLY going on. The broadcasted shows are heavily edited and people get made out to be things they are not. Plus we get to see fun shenanigans that didn't make TV like the slip n slide and such. Maybe to promote the feeds CBS could offer several videos from the feeds on a weekly basis? The content from there needs to be made accessible, and I think it'd also potentially bring in more subscribers. Since I've begun feed following through here 2 seasons ago i've come closer and closer each year to subscribing. The only thing that keeps me from doing so is the fact that it would completely wreck my work habits and not end well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarB Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 They're just putting nails in the coffin of BB in my opinion. Doing away with the live feeds would be the last nail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuxomBlonde Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I don't think full show's are going to be allowed either, cause you can go to cbs.com and see them there the next day... ... CBS can just at this point... Not if you live outside the U.S.A. ! (You just get a message about "this video is not available in your area".) I like to have the videos on computer so I can double-check stuff for the Prediction Challenge. I'm sure I'll be able to find someone uploading them on a file-sharing site somewhere. (As opposed to a video-sharing site like YouTube or Clipser.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara5229 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Well I would hope they would never get rid of the feeds.. otherwise I would have no reason to watch the show b/c they only show you what they want you to see and believe as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Looked around on You Tube and on My Space pages that have a lot of BB videos. Doesn't seem like people are taking them off their websites. Is it just a blanket rule I wonder.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yana Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 What I think it happening is that Real is telling people that the feeds belong to them and are copyrighted, and not to post any more of them, so they have some still up, but you aren't seeing all that many people posting new video's, and a lot of sites (Jokers is one too) have said they won't be posting them any longer either... I don't think the feeds are going to be taken away, I just think that they believe that if they stop people from posting them on sites like youtube, then more people will subscribe to them... IMHO They are mistaken... I love to watch the feeds when I can, and then when I can't, like while sleeping, working, family time, whatever else I might be doing besides sitting here in front of this computer, I like to watch what other's have captured... I have to agree that they are only nailing their own coffin shut, and I am really pretty doubtful, at this point (my mind could change at any moment), that there will be a Big Brother 11...

Slowpoke Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hey... what about all the funny ones viewers put together ? Or the collages set to music ? I think they wet people's appetites for the feeds.. probably bring in more Subscribers if you ask me. I imagine Ollie's preacher Dad will be happy about the ban. Wonder what the poor man preaches now on Sundays... (but, I bet attendance is UP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheri Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 You know Pokey, I was thinking about that...............I have a feeling that the sex going on in the house between Ollie and April played a factor in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac328 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Does anyone have the cancel # for realpass? This season is depressingly boring. Tonight's HoH keeps the power on one side and I can't bear to watch anymore. Don't like either side really, and one side keeps winning. Blah.

ChiefSlapaho Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Question...Does anyone that subscribes to the internet feeds use HughesNet internet satellite? Do the feeds make you exceed the FAP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jar Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I hate to be a pain!! But I submitted to the live feeds last night and can't figure out where I click to get access...what seems to make sense connects me to commentary/blogs etc...not the live feeds...any help?
