Yes, it should... :confused:

Try clearing temp files, history and cookies from Internet Options in the Tools menu of Internet Explorer, then reboot and log back into BB+ - if you haven't already, of course!

Re: Big Brother on Broadband Plus
 

I tried that and most of BB+ is working... with the exception of BigBro, which doesn't recognise me as a subscriber (on the laptop) and goes to the "redirecting" screen, suggesting that I subscribe.

Everything is still working on the desktop ok though :confused:

Re: Big Brother on Broadband Plus
 

I do believe there is a system fault that is making it unavailable for some users. To check you may want to call Ntl Tech Support (0845 650 0121) but I am 99% sure this is the case :(

Re: Big Brother on Broadband Plus
 

I am still getting the same problem, I think I'll formally report it on Monday when I'm next in.

The rest of Broadband Plus is working just fine.

Re: Big Brother on Broadband Plus
 

I have just tried the Big Brother link on the front page of NTLWorld and the video is frame,gap,frame,gap etc. the audio is ok. I have a 600 connection but the videos on the vidzone are very jerky,I presume this is to only having 600 not a 1mb connection.Then again if NTL actually bothered to up the speed as they promised:LOL: then it might be ok.

Big Brother on Broadband Plus
 

I have been trying to watch Big Brother on Broadband Plus with my 600 connection. The sound is perfect but the picture is changing a frame every few seconds. If I try the narrowband stream ,then I can see the picture ,but the sound gets alot worse,like going from FM to MW radio.I presume this is all down to the bandwith and if I had a 1mb connection the stream would be alot better. NTL do not say on the page that the video stream will depend on what speed Broadband you have,or is this too much to ask.
Does anyone else have any ideas?

Re: Big Brother on Broadband Plus
 

I cannot even get it to work, it gives me a no permission error. I've given up with it.

Re: Big Brother on Broadband Plus
 

Its odd that you cannot get BB on Broadband Plus,must be down to the NTL network area. I mistakenly thought that Manchester was one of NTL's favoured spots,obviously not. By the way it has got so bad ,that I have turned off. I will watch it later on E4.

Re: Big Brother on Broadband Plus
 

I have looked at the other thread and it seems that alot of people seem to have problems with Zone Alarm, this is one of the reasons why I changed to Sygate Personal Firewall. Ever since I have changed, I have had no problems. I wonder if this is the reason why I can now see video ok on Real Player?

Re: Big Brother on Broadband Plus
 

It may well be... i don't understand why ntl recommend Zone Alarm instead or Sygate...? :shrug:

I have used both and sygate IMO was much more user friendly and unlike Zone Alarm caused me no problems.

Re: Big Brother on Broadband Plus
 

I have switched off Zone Alarm, but still nothing. There is something amiss somewhere, but I don't know what. The rest of Bplus is working fine and dandy.

Re: Big Brother on Broadband Plus
 

You are having a different problem to jpa's... the issue you mentioned is known by ntl and being investigated by FMT (supposedly :rolleyes: ,)

Ah yes...sorry, I was just trying to deliberately inject confusion and general offtopicness to a perfectly sensible thread.
