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? It's on discovery plus they have just advertised it if you are awake 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recorded the BBC coverage and have just caught up by fast forwarding early stages of rowing heats and cycling race. Baffling that they showed every heat in the rowing but didn't show a second of a British quarter final in the archery. Did find it on red button eventually but they had already told you the result by then... at one stage BBC One and Red Button were both showing the same cycling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Even so, Eurosport has about seven channels but some of them are showing a blank screen while events are ongoing. Maybe a rights issue again, I suppose. London 2012 with about twenty channels was brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record I watched a bit of 3x3 basketball and it's utter guff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) I looked that up before and was surprised that America hadn't qualified, surely that's a shock? Or are different countries good at that like how Fiji are brilliant at Rugby Sevens? Anyway, Ecuador wins gold in the cycling, first gold medal for them since 1996. Mon the diddies.

Eurosport much better, even just on their main 2 channels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She should demand a transfer. Barbra Banda of Zambia has scored another hat-trick, against China. They drew 4-4. Has anyone ever scored back to back hat-tricks in a tournament and not been on the winning side in either match before? @HibeeJibee it's the sort of thing I expect you to know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Highlights seem pretty shite coverage as well. Seems to be focused completely on what they covered live. Anywhere you can get full highlights of other sports? These really shouldn’t be difficult to get in 2021. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
