Video content of Big Brother 7 will be available free to broadband internet customers of NTL, Telewest and Virgin.
Subscribers to NTL Broadband Plus, will be able to view live streaming coverage of BB7 for free. Anyone else
that wants to view BB7 online will have to pay £7.99 to watch it via Channel 4's website.
Over three million broadband customers will have access to daily news stories and video clip highlights from
the house via the ntlworld.com, blueyonder.co.uk and Virgin.net websites. There will also be contestant
biographies, photos, plus an exclusive column written by Derek Laud (from Big Brother 6).
ntl customers with a 4Mb or 10Mb connection will also have access to a free, live 24/7 feed from the house,
as part of their broadband plus package - only otherwise available on the Channel 4 website for a fee of £7.99.

Something doesn't quite add up with this article. Big Brother 7 starts this Thursday (18th May), yet NTL won't be
upgrading the current 2Mb broadband internet service to 4Mb until 1st June ... a gap of two weeks. What gives?

Well, there appears to be some confusion tonight! www.channel4.com/bigbrother has launched, on the Newsflash ticker at the top it reads that Big Brother starts 8.30 Thursday. While all channel4/e4 adverts say 9.00pm is the launch time. So, is this just a mistake...or a TWIST

Not anymore it doesn't!

According to someone on Digital Spy, More4+1 is to be replaced by Big Brother streaming from tomorrow, but will only last a couple of months until 19th July when FilmFour launches in the slot. It seems genuine, as there is a secret MHEG accessible on Channel 4 which directs you to More4+1.
I don't see why E4+1 can't just be replaced with the live stream for the duration of Big Brother, allowing E4Music to continue to run during the day. It's madness to have a whole three streams on freeview taken up by Big Brother streaming for a large portion of the day!!

So are we still having delayed live streaming as well as the normal 10 min delay stream?
Its gonna frustrate me when the 'legal issues' message appears every 5 mins and they show generic images of the house and birds tweeting instead of live pictures so I may not bother watching the streaming this year.
