From 1 August, you will see the first signs of a new Box of Broadcasts (BoB) development. Once the upgrade is complete in September, BoB will have a fresh look, enhanced video quality and more powerful searching capabilities.
What you will notice immediately on 1 August is that the BoB website will require you to log in differently. Select 成人直播 from the drop-down menu and then enter your normal BU username and password.
When you register for the new BoB, make sure you enter the email address that you previously used to access BoB, so that they can match up both your accounts later. 聽
