Whats up with channel 705 on Freeview? Everytime I try and watch live coverage it keeps displaying a full screen message saying I should retune to E4. Confused On E4 at the moment its Friends and on E4+1 Smallville or something so not exactly 24-hour live coverage is it. Also it is cutting the ad-breaks from E4 onto the Live stream.

It says you should retune to E4 on channel 14, but it doesn't point out that you have to press red straightafter.
That takes you straight to the BB6 streaming, on channel 705. Which is a bit unnecessary and long winded!

Press the exit button on your remote control if you have an ITV /ondigital box and you will be able to watch the stream on 705.

When I press red on E4 it goes straight to a black screen. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? Very Happy

Go to channel 705 and kill the MHEG layer on the screen to watch the feed.

Davina hates this show anyway so who knows. Rolling Eyes


Surprised My face did a Watson for a moment...

But yes Davina and BB are rumoured to have been rocky for some time; though I couldn't imagine the show without her.
It wouldn't surprise me to see a mole in the house on the QT, I mean its not really rocket science, Booze, Hormones of a 20 year something, and a mole having a good shake and hey presto a fight or relationship, and oh look the ratings have risen for some bizarre reason....
Still funny when it happens.


What's Davina's problem with the show then? Is it likely to be her last series if she's not happy?

Davina is rubbish at Big Brother, and has been since the second series.

She has her own agenda with the housemates - usually focussed on "romance" between them, whether any exists or not. Her exit interviews are truly awful.

Dermot is by far the better host, although I wouldn't want him to move away from BBLB.

Davina has no intention of quitting Big Brother - she loves the show and it's changed her life - allowing her to be pretty selective in the jobs she takes outside of BB and spend more time with her young family.


And though she has her faults (some down to her, some down to editorial decisions), on the whole Davina is one of the best presenters around. She was fantastic on the launch show!


What BB need to ensure is the eviction shows move back to the studio completly, so Davina talks to the house from the studio without the crowd shouting out who they want evicted.

The interviews will almost certainly be in the studio - and from the glimpses in the background of BBLB, it looks like they've put some effort into the main BB studio so hopefully she'll be back in there and allowed to present - rather than having to control the crowd!

Davina told you that did she?

Davina LOVES the show - she's said that herself numerous times. She wouldn't give it up for anything.

As for the show itself - I'm loving it this year. Makosi is brilliant.
