When I try to use it with IE7, all I get when I click on the 'watch live' link is another window open with the same page appearing in it

Works with IE.

Only one feed!

How many cameras are there in that house.

Should have a feed from all of them.

Yes am behind a router/firewall.

It would cost them a fortune to edit/censor a live stream from every camera in the house

He means that the stream itself is higher bitrate. The stream won't be 2Mbit let alone 10Mbit so it doesn't make any difference whether you're on 2 or 10 for these purposes.

I do get an error:

Sorry

If you are a Broadband Plus subscriber, you may not have been recognised because you have bookmarked this page rather than linking to it via the ntl Big Brother site (please click here and we'll verify you are a Broadband Plus user).

I just click the verify link and it works fine, make sure you don't have a proxy or a IP hiding program running or something ...

im behind a router if that makes any difference. Most people dont seem to be complaining so it may only be me

Hans Gruber · 20-05-2006, 20:59

I'm behind a router and it's fine, only problem I have is it won't work in firefox but IE is fine.

Stephen · 20-05-2006, 21:44

I'm behind a router, it was working fine in IE yesterday but today it won't work in Firefox or IE.

It loads up but the media player just stays blank.

I remember either the 1st or 2nd series of big brother when I had sky digi there was 2 cameras to choose from on the interactive, obviousy not every camera but allowed a choice since they tend to split into 2 groups almost every year I think that would be a good thing to do.

Yep, last year the stream was 384kbit and often reconnected at lower bitrate following skips etc. Now its 512kbit.

I was on 2mbit last year for informational purposes.

***This is Firefox calling***

http://www.ntlworld.com/broadbandplu...rother/ews.php (this comes from clicking on Watch Live, right clicking in the black space in pop-up box and selecting properties, then copying the url)

WMP pops up = error message

Go back to firefox and see the address its linking from...

http://www.ntlbroadbandplus.premiumt...r?eventId=1984

Now delete until this is left....

http://www.ntlbroadbandplus.premiumtv.co.uk and you get this

http://www.ntlbroadbandplus.premiumt...,12212,00.html

Well i found it strange. Its a Sunday morning.

I had problems when I followed the link http://www.ntlworld.com/microsites/tvradio/bigbrother/ and clicked PLAY ME, I disabled Google Toolbar Pop ups and I'm now watching live streaming.

If you are having provlems try disabling pop up blockers
