Big Brother goes interactive on Telewest
Published Monday, Jun 2 2003, 00:20 BST | By James Welsh
Digital Spy forum members are reporting that enhanced interactive services for this year's Big Brother are gradually becoming available across Telewest Broadband's digital cable system.
Some members report that the service went live on the evening of May 30th, while others report that it only became available on Sunday.
Two video streams of live content, along with two highlight streams, are available on the service. A more in-depth review of the service is available on DS:BB.
The move comes over a week since the show started - with multi-streaming having been available on digital satellite since the series first aired ten days ago. The delay for Telewest customers was reportedly due to an inability on the part of Telewest and Channel 4 to agree carriage terms.
