Big Brother Australia 2021

Finally watched Bodyguard - the Netflix one. Friends in the UK saw it when it was on over there but I didn't have Netflix so was unable to get it here. Now seen, a good series.

I got carried away with the "new" thing and watched 6 Episodes of something called The Undoing, via "streaming".

Despite the fact that it stars Nicole Kidman (who I loath) and Hugh Grant, it was remarkably good.  Well worth a watch if you like that sort of "thriller" thing.

A modern twist to a classical "whodunnit" tale, when the life of a wealthy New York therapist turns upside down after she and her family get involved with a murder case.

Sorting out your new features eh?

Yes.  The remote (and the entire look) is different to the iQ2 that I had. I also signed up for Netflix.

Regarding the IQ4 the main feature I liked about it was it added all the free to air channels to Foxtel which is great for recording free to air stuff.

I checked the manual for the TV, bought it in 2010, so it is older than I thought. Time flies!

The only FTA stuff that I have are ABC, SBS, 7 and 9. Great to be able to record anything though.

Funny I had forgotten about the issues I had when I first got the IQ4 till you mentioned your upgrade.

I suspect that Foxtel have fixed the issue I had by an update by now anyway!

Hopefully Foxtel have fixed the issues with the iQ4 by now, anyway if you encounter any similar issues I will let you know the model of TV etc I bought its an LG.

There were lots of people whinging on the internet at the time, they may have even downloaded update fixes to my box by now, however the new TV certainly did the trick in my case.

No problems so far.  My TV is a Panasonic and I bought it about 5-6 years ago.  It isn't a "smart" TV, unfortunately.

My old one was a Panasonic Flat Screen but quite old, so yours may have later software.

I finally had to upgrade the Foxtel box to iQ4.  Had the Technician here yesterday to set it up for me, including plugging in the aerial for the FTA channels.  A new learning curve. LOL

I did mine a couple of years ago, was that the one that added all the local channels to foxtel?

Actually I had to upgrade my TV after that as I had to keep unplugging the HDMI cable between the TV and the IQ4 box as the picture kept failing. TV was old but a good flat screen one which was annoying. Later model TV fixed all the issues and came with lots more internet connectivity and stuff. Changed the IQ4 box once and stuffed around with Foxtel who were useless, new TV solved it all.

The voice of Big Brother Australia may have just been revealed - and you definitely will have heard him before

Big Brother had a new voice this year, but there's a good chance it wasn't the first time viewers had heard it on television.
The mystery voice actor behind Channel Seven's reboot is tipped to be voice actor Chris Coucouvinis.
Chris is the head announcer for Sydney's FBi Radio and has also voiced countless advertisements over the years.

Thanks Nef , I had read that before and thought it wasnt relating to 2021 BB, the penny has just dropped there was no BB in 2020 so was relating to the upcoming 2021 version.

Sounds like judging a book by its cover

That sounds cringe worthy!

Anyone been watching BB?

I actually dont mind the show, they certainly come up with some interesting situations/challenges.

I have been trying to find on Google who does the Big Brother voice overs.

Any ideas?

Actually I missed the first few episodes but caught up on that 7+ internet channel (Like iview) it has all the episodes and extra stuff
