Lots of people have moaned about the loss of the live feed this year, but how many have actually been in touch with Channel 4 to complain - making their voice heard? It seems not many of you have bothered, you've just supposed that someone else will complain and that will be enough. WRONG! C4 are saying that there are not enough complaints to justify looking at putting the live feed back - people seem to have walked away from BB10 rather than saying what they think. Channel 4 have a webform that you can use: Click Here If you want them to do something about it, PLEASE tell them! C4 had already paid Endermol for the series in advance, so they can't complain they would need extra staff - because they've already had the money that would have covered the live streaming... |

I got a very shirty reply when I emailed them my complaint. I cant find it but it basicaly said well tough **** matey. I really think no matter what anyone says this is the last nne and if I`m honest I would be surprised if it wasnt pulled early and replaced with re runs of friends. |

They send a standard reply, based on key words - like 'red button' or 'live feed'. Annoying, but the count of complaints is going up by people adding their voice in this way. C4 do it to pee people off, that is clear to see.

Oh how I long for the days when they only showed the test card, and played some excellent (but usually obscure) music! |

I have complained and got the standard reply everyone I know who complained got. I am beyond frustration with the whole situation now, they have ruined BB for all of us so the sooner we hear Sky or Living TV have bought the rights from Endemol the better as far as I am concerned.

Oooh - be careful what you wish for. Sky would make it a pay-to-view event on an encrypted channel at £156.41 a day. I don't get Living TV, or Sky One, or Sky Two - we have Sky 3 on Freeview. I'm a Virgin customer but, due to chronic unemployment, on their very basic package. That would have included red button on C4/E4, if it had been working. I wouldn't object to paying a little bit extra for a live feed, as we did when the ran it via RealPlayer for £9.95 a season. I can't do with having to have Sky installed and their quite hefty subscription. This is about a show that is open for public viewing, not just the select ones who have a Sky box... My biggest criticism is that Endermol have been paid by C4 for the series, and that was at the same rate as in previous years, so they can't say it would cost them more to supply the feed. |

I think all us BB Fans should redirect our complaints from Ch4 to the Newspapers. We are know the newspapers love to cause trouble so why not let them do the dirty work for us, send an email to all the daily newspapers and ask them to inquire again on our behalf why the live feed has not been returned when Endermol have been paid by C4 for the series, and that was at the same rate as in previous years, so they can't say it would cost them more to supply the feed. |

If they cancel BBLB and BBBM they could then afford the live feed. Simples

As I have noted before. Endermol have been paid for the series, at the bulk rate for 3 years. Therefore, they have got their money for producing the show, inclusive of any live feed they could output. It is C4 that are moaning about carrying the feed. The same company who send out the same useless drivel when anyone dares to complain, the same company that cannot count the number of complaints they had as they ran out of fingers... Another suggestion - having got rid of hopeless George and his naff show, chop Davina back to the eviction shows and make her choose her wardrobe at the charity shops. If we've been cut back then they should stop the presenters having new outfits every time we blink! |

I`d love to know how many hits and plays of their news videos happen. I for one a keen viewer have only watched two vids this year the third one I tried I couldnt be bothered to sit through the addvert. For some reason I`m liking Davina this year in the eviction shows, yes her dresses probably cost bomb but I think I feel sorry for her as this I personaly think is her last season and Im not sure anyone apart from Fives lunch time word quiz would employ her. |

I doubt any provisional contract for a show thats canceled would carry much weight. But then its in her interest to be positive, Im sure shes realising the show is in free fall. In a way it was in her hands pre the start of the show to say, hey I wont do it with a proper live stream as thats the backbone to the whole concept of the show" . But she didnt Anyway, Im waffling on about stuff out of my control, mainly as no ones called me for help in the last hour and Im bored of watching re runs of Friends |
