Countless people have emailed channel 4 and got nor response, countless people have phoned and been told "channel 4 took an editorial decision, its our choice ".
Is it fair that for previous years they give us the full service, then for no reason take it away.
There has been a campaign started in the channel 4 forums, NO VOTING until channel 4 give fairness to all its viewers, there is also a petition [URL] http://www.petitiononline.com/BB5/ [/URL]
Please help by putting your signature to the petition to have the interactive restored
Those involved in the campaign have now been banned from entering the channel 4 forums, it seems they don't care about thier viewers or want them to have a voice.

Good god man, its business!
To watch big brother 25 hours a day
As more and more channels are going Interactive to oferr better service does this mean that you will give up your digital services just because you don't want to see the red dot in the corner of the screen.
> leprichaun fails to understand the meaning of 'good buissness'
Of course. These companies are primarily there to make money. Showing television programmes is just a by product of their money making schemes.

When I signed up for Telewest I dont remember them telling me I would have Interactive BB. They havent taken away a service that I've paid for.

Well if this is the biggest show at the moment it might be time to sell my TV.
Granted its not that bad, but its also not that good.

It ain't that simple, though, is it? BB is everywhere. More of it would make my head explode. I have to read about it on the front cover of virtually every newspaper (which I'm forced to see as I work for a post office). Whenever I watch E4, what's in the right hand corner? A big ugly "Press Red for BB" sign. And for the ten or however many weeks they're in the house, it'll push back the decent programming that I want aired.

Well as I said, change over to Sky.

Look, companies want your business. They won't let Sky take everything or everyone will go to Sky. It won't end. Sky made an agressive business move, and NTL/Telewest/whatever will have to react with one of their own to entice viewers. It's business.
