So on Sky I can only access the Winter Olympic coverage on BBC, then by pressing the Red Button & getting two extra BBCi Channels ?.
That's a shame as two years ago the BBC gave us extra channels by numbers too, so we did not have to go through the Red Button when watching London 2012.
I think they were after the Eurosport channels on Sky.
I wonder how much of the figure skating will be shown on those two extra channels ?.
After Saturday, if the Freeview EPG listings are reliable, there's going to be very little Figure Skating on the TV, I'm afraid.
So, we're going to be relying on the internet streams.
Yeah, it was great when we had all the extra feeds WITH EPG NUMBERS on Sky for the Summer Games. They were on Channel 450 onwards.
But, the BBC aren't getting enough money out of us through the Licence Fee, and so can't afford to pay for these extra feeds to be carried on satellite. :sarcasm:
Really wish the EBU still had the rights, as it would be better coverage for all the viewers if Eurosport and ALL the Public Service Broadcasters in Europe (not just the ones that can afford to pay for it) had access to the Olympics.
I'm wording it like that because the EBU member for Ireland, RTÉ, are not showing these Olympics at all. Sure, the people "Down South" can watch BBC NI, but I'm not sure that they can get the BBCi channels (which is what today's skating is on) or the BBC's internet streams.
Let's hope that the contract with the rights management company gets cancelled, and the contract is given back to the EBU before Pyeongchang...
Unfortunately, I doubt that will happen.
