BBC Olympic Coverage

[Gazwag]

Why on earth is Gary Lineker the main man

 

[Simster]

At last something worth paying a license fee for.

What a shit comment.

 

[Seagulls1984]

Is this the same bbc that now shows hardly any sport. There a joke

 

[Rich Suvner]

So only 25 channels for those who have Sky or Virgin. Yeah, great use of my license fee.

all channels are available on freesat - impressed so far

I really enjoy Gary as the "main man" and think he always does a brilliant job!

Ah, I didn't find that today, I was watching everything via the red button. Presumably it's the same thing?

Not sure, is the Red Button in HD? From 550 onwards the 24 channels are HD

yeah the red button is in HD if you access it through any of the HD channels

The BBC is amazing. Anyone who has lived abroad for a period of time soon realises just how brilliant the BBC is.

 

[Barnham Seagull]

Cycling was poor so watched it on Eurosport which was much better, the commentators were much more knowledgable.

On my free view box the red button only gives you the potion on Bbc one, BBC3 and one or two at most other options. As somebody said at least we can watch it online.

Where do I find these 25 channels?

Sky, Virgin I should imagine, Freesat

Freeview I think your out of luck. You will need to use the red button and see what they have on that, but it seems to be a downgraded version of what you would get on the red button on Freesat

I though it was only me moaning
Olympic Games 2012: BBC apologises for 'appalling coverage' of men's cycling | Sport | The Observer

 

[Beach Hut]

The coverage of the cycling was very poor, they could not even do the split times from the peleton to the lead riders

They have promised something better for the womens race today, so does that mean we will get the split times and distance to go sellotaped to the screen this time around. I was really confused with what was going on yesterday. It was not got a good advert for someone watching cycling for the first time.

The license fee is great value just for the radio coverage of footy.

Not being pedantic like some people I know but, surely, it is a licence fee ?

Another example from someone who rarely reads a book so illustrating their poor command of the written word. Acceptable when used as a verb but as a noun ? Shoddy stuff.

Not being pedantic what would you call it then ?

I would call it a LICENCE where as people from the colonies would say LICENSE.....
