We I guess they under estimated the server demand !
I've just managed to get my second connection to the stream ,second that is in two days ! First one lasted about 30 seconds and this one is very slow and the video is out of sync. In the days when tv's had a line hold control imagine having turned the control ... well thats what the video feed looks like !

I've spent a while with the privacy adviser turned on to check what it was blocking. I should now have the cookies set so it keeps me logged in but interestingly it isn't just the bigbrother.3mobile.com.au site but also the
server-dk.imrworldwide.com that requires cookies ,private headers ,and javascript access.

Very disappointed with the feed so far.
Shame as last year's show was good.

I can say that I saw dawn break across the OZ Big Brother garden but not long afterwards the server appeared to fall over again and media player constantly reports that it unable to play the files in the play list plus the site started forgetting I was logged in.

So far the connection speeds have been from 10k/s to 244k/s.

Also if in the play options you select repeat it will restart when the 20 minute timeout occurs. The other way is to locate the .asx file that is created and edit it to remove the bit giving the 20 minute limit. But I couldn't find the file on an XP system maybe Win98 is easier. It should be in the Windows Internet Tempory Files.

Last year the free feeds would run for upto a day or more at a time without too many problems. Lets hope things get better it would be useful to have an alternative to UKBB6 if it turns out like last year.
And last year the OZ series was more watchable than even the US series.

Anyway spent the last hour or so back with BB SE/NO but they have gone to bed now so maybe I'll have another try with the OZ feed.
