I think it was much the same for BB2, although there may also have been some live coverage on e4 as well that year. When they began doing 24-hour live feeds it was available to purchase through Real Player.
It's an interesting question though - I can't remember if that was BB 1, 2 or 3 when live internet feeding began. I don't think it was BB1, but on the other hand the news about Nasty Nick was all over the place very quickly the day it happened.
I think the live feed is what slowly choked the format though, more so than anything else. After everyone realised that, for most of the time, there was nothing worth seeing, it became more and more imperative to ramp up the conflict and the antics in the house to try to ensure there was normally something going on.

The live feeds that I watched gave a better view on what went on say arguments and how they happened and also who started them and then when you looked at the highlights they put what they wanted into it to make someone look bad or good and if they wanted to get rid of someone in the hightlights that would be the persons demise. Looking at live feed and looking at the highlight was like looking at two different shows.
For instance a lot of people thought on the highlights that Mo was the most boring housemate and was always asleep but on the live feed he was the one cleaning and helping around the house and Becky was really nasty to him but it was never shown and also he was saying one day how he ran the house for his mum when he was of work and helped out with the younger kids and so they wouldn't get in trouble he would take them out to do stuff with them.
Also on the live feed Rachel was made out to be another bore but she took on Alex verbally while the others stood by and also confronted Becky can her cronnies in the bedroom and Darnell was there and she spoke up to them and Darnell told them they were owned. That was never shown on the highlights. So for me the live feed is what I want to see happen and not what the show wants me to see of there cut versions of really goes on in the house
