Olympic TV Coverage

Post by mwilk » Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:21 pm

It's well worth buying next week's Radio Times. It has a pull-out with full details of the TV coverage. If you have Sky, Freesat or the other one [Virgin ?], there are 24 BBC olympic channels, each of which has a HD version. The pull-out shows that we have our own channel for canoe slalom and from Sunday-Thursday there appears to be full coverage; 4-5 hours per day. These are all in the electronic programme guide, so, with Sky at least, you can set them to record [some are already showing details in there].
The pull-out even has a full page piece on David Florence - that's when you know you have made it - a full page in the Radio Times.

It sounds like if you only have Freeview you are not so well off and will just get the bits and pieces they decide to show; inbetween other sports
