Will these 24 channels show any re-runs/highlights when there is no live sport, or when there is not 24 channels worth. So far it only seems to be showing live events.

Yes; and some will be in 3D.

If you press the red button when viewing one of the olympic channels you'll be given the option to view highlights.

The options are already there, but, of course the games aren't in full swing yet.

Are you sure? According to http://faq.external.bbc.co.uk/questi...g/bbc_3D_howto 3D will only be on BBC HD. Which makes sense as 3D and SD don't mix well.

Sorry :blush: I knew that some would be in 3D. I guess I just got the wrong channel :)

Not gone through them all but the first few of the dedicated channels (550+) on VM are fine here.

Have you reported it? Don't assume that other people are affected too.

Had Virgin engineer out this morning, because of Olympic channel and BBC news breaking up, and he said my signal had dropped he went to the green box in the next road,tweaked the signal power now all working again.

Didn't have chance to report it b4 I had to go out was by sheer chance I looked. Just got in STILL NO OLYMPICS! Tel service line and RG2 and RG12 (me!) said having probs and will be fixed asap. It is very odd that BBC One HD is also out just the one reliable channel I was hoping to watch the opening ceremony.

Rebooted my box seems to have done the trick!:)

when i use the red button to watch, everything works fine, but when i exit back to normal TV there is no sound on any channel, the only way to restore it is to reset the box
anyone else had this problem ?

Weird; and no. But then I always access them directly rather than through the red button. (They start at 550 for the HD ones and 575 for SD)

P.S Don't forget about Eurosport 3D as well.

Just noticed that on TIVO when recording on all three tuners the BBC sports app switches to an Internet feed rather than use linear , the Sports app is excellent and easy to navigate just wish the BBC would sort the Internet feed out as its significantly lesser quality than the linear broadcast.

I think it because it's not a dedicated TiVo app, it's the smart tv app shoe horned into TiVo. Might be wrong though.
