I inherited a motorised satellite system from my uncle, and was a regular on various sat feed forums, and it was discovered that the Big Brother house cameras were usually left streaming continuously over satellite, presumably to a central studio/recording facility where the best/worst bits were collated. I'm sure some people watching the raw streams would have seen things which would never have been broadcastable.
