THANK YOU SO MUCH RIKKU!!!!
I can get ARD and ZDF on satellite at Astra 19.2E. So if the BBC makes a hash of the coverage, I'll be able to go into the kitchen and watch the German coverage!!!
I'll re-scan the box tomorrow morning to see if there are any extra channels that might be showing Olympic coverage.
By the way, neither of those links is loading for me.
Vielen Dank

A few infos on the German coverage.
If you can only get ARD and ZDF then don't bother, its not worth it. They do not broadcast live and only show the winning performances. However, if you have internet then you can watch ARD and ZDF extra channels, but they will be geo blocked so you must unblock them first.
Further to CaroLiza_fan's post above.
Upon rescanning my PVR and set top box last night (both Freeview) I gained a 2nd BBC Red button channel: Channel 302. This also appears to be showing various Winter Olympics events though I've not spotted any Figure skating listed on 302 yet.
Other ways of accessing coverage:
BBC sports app for tablets / mobiles /connected TVs
BBC's Connected Red Button service on Virgin Media TiVo and Sony Freeview Smart TVs
I can access BBC sports app via my PVR at home so I'll see what is available and report back this evening. Yesterday it was just lots of short videos of various sports.
NBCOlympics is apparently livestreaming every single event even if it's not on a TV channel.
And BBC America is pretty good quality if it's similar to London 2012, with ExPat Shield (which seems to work pretty well)
I'm in Switzerland and I can't get access to the streaming on NBC or BBC. Help!

Is it geoblocked?
So on Sky I can only access the Winter Olympic coverage on BBC, then by pressing the Red Button & getting two extra BBCi Channels ?.You know, it's a good job you posted this, because if you hadn't, I wouldn't have noticed a pretty major mistake I made when editing my first post earlier!
After copying the details for BBCi1 and pasting them in for BBCi2, I remembered to change the satellite tuning details, but forgot to change the Freeview number! Oops! :
I've fixed that now, though. And I've added in the details for BBC1, just in case they start showing Olympic stuff. I think most of the TV coverage is going to be on BBC2 and BBCi, but they might put stuff on BBC1 at the weekends like they do with other sports.
Thank you again

can any non-German check if it's geoblocked?
Sorry if it is - the German commentator is a catastrophy, if it's any consolation
