Guest Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Right see my thing with the Olympics on the BBC, but Red Button aside, there are 207 countries* competing but you'll hear of nothing apart from team GB, on the main coverage. I want to see Germany v Brazil at Handball etc but you've no chance because Jason Kenny is eating his breakfast 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Been a fairly toned down ceremony which was to be expected. Just as well the Japanese didn't take a leaf out of Jeremy Hunts book of plans for the 2012 opener otherwise we would of had the Olympics touch delivered by dive bombing the American team. Spoiler If this is out of context, Hunt wanted to depict Britain beating Hitler by having someone dress up as the dictator. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure for London BBC had about fifty channels now they're down to two. Will the iPlayer be showing everything or just the two channel options? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurosport have the rights for all the streams. You can get a Discovery Plus subscription then cancel before you have to pay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I've got Eurosport but I can't see the archery listed on any of their channels. Ah well, hopefully the BBC or Eurosport will show the final, at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea but that's why I prefer Eurosport they always cover the wee sports all the time Eurosport also have a red button option although I haven't checked it out yet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) You press the red button and it takes you to a bunch of extra channels which you can flick through on Sky (channels 983-989). They all list a different sport but not archery. Edited July 23, 2021 by Bully Wee Villa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprising as they recently showed the archery euro championships on the main channel which is a shame for you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
