Just been looking on DS and they seem to be posting on media web sites about the lack of live feed this year. So are any of you doing the same?

No then
No, if there is no 'Live Feed' we will make it up as we go along.....
From what i understand there will still be LF after 11pm like last year, on E4...
Can't see channel 4 backing down now, and I can't see them letting any other company run live feed either. We can only hope sky takes over after this year, otherwise it could probably be the last BB

I'd heard the same Real
but the fact that C4 closed down their own forum a month before launch of BB10 suggests they will hardly take any notice of anyone about provision of LF anyway!

Got to agree with you but what gets me is that countries with a lot less budgets than Ch4 can do Live feed 24/7 and forums

It's utter stupidity, and considering it's still channels 4's top show, you'd think they would try to build on it and not destroy it.

I think c4 are "running scared" right now after all the "trouble" last time both with BB and CBB, I think they want more control over what happens, hence closing the forum and NO live feed,
as I have said without these things in place they could be going to a hotel evey night and working from a script for all we know,

sadly no one here seems intrested in big brother enough to complain about the destruction of the show.
i however do and have continued to contact anyone i can get hold of with regard to the live feed issue.
although its obvious we wont win i can only hope that enough people grow the required bollocks to swith off and email ch4 and the advertisers to tell them why. a complete boycott and email campaign is the only way to save bb.
i'm doing my part, are you?
I will sign... if this is a petition for LF

I don't beleive for one minute its a financial thing. Recently whenever CH4 have done any BB press releases they have been worded in such a way that I realised they weren't actually directed at BB fans. I feel that this is part of a rebranding exercise... and that in order for them to be respected within their industry (i.e. more BBC, than Living TV) they feel they have to almost apologise for the Big Brother programme.
I posted this some time ago... and another fm mentioned that Channel 4 were hoping that the BBC World Service would buy them out. If that is true... then it all makes sense.
I just wish they would sell the format to a different channel. I also hope that the lack of live feed results in a significant fall in the revenue from voting calls. Not sure it will though.
I don't think it is financial either. I just don't think they really want us to know what goes on 
Even ofcom doesn't understand Channel 4 reasoning not to have live feed when they have cleared all the causes last CBB and BB9

The whole of DS would agree with you
