    This will be the first year I have E4. I would guess that the novelty will wear off very quickly - a bit like being able to choose different angles to watch football - in the end you find it better to let the professional editors pick out the best bits for you to see.

    However, not having C4, I suppose at least we can follow whats going on in there.

    Somebody once rumoured that E4 would charge for this service, I can't see that that would've been a runner at all.

    As this is more about specific programming than a general DSAT issue, I'm moving it to the UK Television board.

    Action: Thread moved.

    For all those who are having E4 for the first time.
    Each evening it does Big brothers little brother with Dermot o' Leary-a good show/digest, background info on the latest goings on in the house.

    Presumably NTL's version of E4 won't have the 2o hour BB interactive that Sky had last year with all the various cameras, that you could choose??

    Specifically Sky had two "almost" live camera feeds, a two hour delayed feed and a four hour delayed feed. The feed was turned off while Big Brother was being shown on Channel 4 so you never got pictures when nominations were announced or just after a housemate left.

    i'm not really all that bothered by Big Brother but i'll have a look every now and again. i read in a newspaper that E4 will show a repeat of the Channel 4 programmes an hour or so after they go out on Channel 4. 20 hours isn't too bad considering normal programming will also be shown. when these programmes are on Big Brother coverage will be available via the red button

    This is the same as they did last year. It used to be on around midnight on E4. That was all I had to rely on then as I couldn't get Channel 4.

    MMC is correct. The interactive BB is not available in ROI. It was available last year but this year there is just a message saying that it's currently unavailabe to ROI viewers. Hope we do get it soon though I won't hold my breath:confused:
