Glad it's here but myself, I only use it for sports multi stream as i find using freeview MUCH quicker to read the news and sport.

On the subject of sports streaming, have we had any more news on linear channels for the Olympics multi streams we can record?

But does that apply to the TiVo BBC sports app though.

Yes it seems the BBC sports app is still in its infancy.

Thanks Chad and yes the news app is excellent with good video and text articles but the sports app needs to have text articles and a results/fixtures section on there about the many sports that are followed by TV viewers.

The answer to that it seems is no.

Typical, I hope this is not the case be it seems it will

Also the App will steam HD content too including the 24 streams for the Olympics

No l thought it was quite quick and remember it is much more graphics rich and has plenty of video content on it as well to load.
