Ok Big Brother another summer is approaching and its time to prepare so I have one massive request.
Online Streaming.
Please do not forget to put the live 24/7 streaming online. I spoke to someone within Big Brother who kindly informed me after I received an e-mail to my original complaint that you had removed the online streaming for the BB hijack series. It seems to have come down to damage limitation. The less veiwers that saw the show the less complaints you thought you would have if anything went wrong. How wrong, I found it hard that you would wish to annoy and penalise the loyal BB fans who have watched the show year on year.
People like myself who has watched since the very first night of the very first opening show of BB1, who went online to watch online live streaming for BB2 (for free) and then happily payed to watched online live streaming every year. Not everyone can have sky or cable even getting E4 can be a challenge, but the hurt felt that after years of paying for online live streaming sky and cable customers received it for free with no prior information to online live streaming customers. I spoke to customer service advisers of channel 4 and E4 who were inundated with calls from annoyed online live veiwers. Some I know from the forum just stopped watching. however, as someone who had LUTED in the past I turned to the LUT for updates from LUTERS who found it difficult to place updates due to the lack of people able to LUT so many who would have been able to LUT like myself just couldn't get access the programme live. It was left to the few to hold the fort and I thank every single one some like Angel and Olly (to name only two I apologise to others who also covered the BB Celeb hijack)worked single handedly for hours updating the forum page. They kept veiwers informed veiwers who wanted to watch who were prepared to pay to view the live streaming online. What other show as ever not wanted veiwers, who actually puts a show on and then convinces itself that its ok to upset the loyal fans who have paid to watch the show for years whilst at the same time disallowing waiting fans the opportunity to see the programme.
We alll know the highlights programme bares no resemblance to the actual live action. In fact 60% of avid die hard BB fans only watch the online streaming and BBLB and BBBM. The highlights are merely seen to clarify cuts that BB have made in the live streaming which the viewers who have watched online streaming for years know have been saved by BB just for the highlights show. When a good conversation happens and the camera cuts to no action its a case of 'BB is saving that for highlights'. Then due to the time scale the clip of 1 minute actually does not make sense to the highlights show viewer as normally its taken completely out of context if not watched in its complete context which the online veiwer may have watched over 10 minutes to over an hour.
The show is brilliant,ever changing due to new housemates and its additive viewing. However to be able to watch the only progamme on Tv that actaully totally engages the veiwer the veiwer needs access to it. So I ask again please do not restrict the live 24/7 streaming to digital customers only but give us back our online live 24/7 streaming.
Thankyou.
Now its a waiting game with May fast approaching when will the new summer BB start hopefully Wed 28th or Thurs 29th. But most importantly will the loyal fans be rewarded with their Online Live 24/7 streaming BACK.......
