it seems a lot of peeps are talking about not watching BB, highlights etc.
do you honestly think that this is gonna bother BB bosses?
only way to go is to boycott C4 for a week or two and tell all your mates to do the same.

hit C4 in their pockets...no audience no ad revenue.

i realise that some of the teens will miss holibonks for a week as well as the grannies will miss countdown.

only way to go folks Thumbs Up

as i said...you might have to miss your fave prog for a week but wouldn't it be worth it just to show C4 that they can't get away with messing with BB.

in the meantime email em and tell em you are boycotting their station and your reason for doing so.

They don't get much ad money out of me anyway, but I have e-mailed them, won't visit their website and certainly won't vote

ch4 is blocked/ detuned / pin protected along with all c4 related channels and their webshite is firewalled out and it will remain that way (as it has since bb started) until either the lf is restored or a new channel gets the rights and shows a lf.

there isnt anything worth watching on ch4 anyway other than bb and now they made that unwatchable too.

i did Wink

oh and yes i did email ch4 too to tell them why, i also cheekily asked them if they could just tell me the winners name since they were going to pick the the winner by careful editing of the hl shows, sadly as with everyone i got the standard "go f**k yourself" response.

I've boycotted C4 completely...no hits on their websites...not watching HL....never watch C4 apart from BB anyway....e-mailed all and everyone...and signed petitions....and I sure as heck won't be voting if I ain't watching!

Oh and my boycott wasn't to affect the viewing figures more that I don't/can't watch BB without LF and we don't drink Lucozade anyway! Wink

I think that's me up to date in the 'tantrum' department over the lack of LF! Ninja Big Grin

sorry to change the subject


yes, its the forum equivalent of whats happened to big brother, you only get to see selected, out of date bits that dont get updated often.

on the main forum page select 2 for page 2 then 1 for page one and it'll be updated for you, unlike we fans of bb who have no magic way to to get our lf back.

I'm on my 14th Email to date, i've phoned them several times, i've signed petitions on line and in the street, ive boycotted their website,I'm refusing to vote, i wont switch on C4 at any cost and the ONE message i posted in their forum ( before i told them to stuff it) was pulled and i got an email from them to, 'toe the line' !

They don't care, simple as that, they couldn't give a flying .... bird! I am reduced to watching my favourite programme illegally, so C4 have made me a criminal! I never thought of that Confused Eeker.

Unless you have one of those boxes in your house that monitors what programmes you watch and, from where they calculate 'viewing figures', there is no point in avoiding C4 TV.. it won't register as a 'lost' viewer. .Wink

I am however avoiding their Web Site as I presume that records hits (or they wouldn't have been able to throw the 'webiste gets more hits than LF viewers' excuse that they did at us ) .. and I don't vote anyway.. Nod

i understand your point - but there are other ways of watching without switching C4 on.

I'd extend the boycott to all channel 4's offerings and not so much about live feed but the lamentable way in which they treat their customers. If (as rumoured) they are about to receive even more public funding then they have start listening and engaging over the content they provide.

I agree it will only work with a publicity campaign to have any kind of effect.......

I agree about the web 'hits' and that's not the only reason to avoid the site!!

People might also like to sign the petition at bringbacklivefeed.co.uk to show support
