Glasto BBCi
 
Just thought people might like to know that the interactive Glasto coverage on BBC3 is working. Multiscreen, choose your bands, fantastic :tu:

Works fine for me. It looks really good as well, better than last year.

Also able to report the fully functioning Glasto stuff on BBCi here, with a Samsung box, but it'll be a bit flaky with the Pace upstairs I know, cause the last few weeks its either locked up or shown the error box at certain times when using either normal walled garden or red button stuff.

But then, it was a reconditioned box after all.:D Otherwise it looks like an excellent application and the numbered streams are an improvement. Now, given that BBCi can do multiscreens for the tennis and glastonbury without any obvious code updating on the Bromley side, how come the can't use the streams for the oft requested news multiscreens whenever there isn't a big "event" needing them?

Don't seem to have the option down here in Brighton. When the bridge loads, the two ETV options are Wimbledon, and Come and Have a Go.

Might try a reboot in a minute.

It's only got Wimbledon here and that should be finishing soon.

It's on BBC3 at the moment

Re: Glasto BBCi
 
Will it only appear when Wimbledon has finished then? Wimbledon option is still available. I take it this comes down to the number of streams ntl have allocated to the BBC for interactive use.

Wimbledon is still on.

I don't if this is right, but I thought that they only had a limited number of streams, like you said, so with them doing that come and have a go & wimbledon...

:shrug:

Re: Glasto BBCi
 
It must be that. The thing is, Come and Have a Go was simply an overlay, explaining how to play via Satellite or Freeview, or by text, and that they hope to have a play along service on cable at some point in the future. Totally pointless.

I also fail to see how they could have both running on Langley, yet not have enough streams for Bromley.

Ah well, hopefully it'll appear in a bit.

Re: Glasto BBCi
 
Does anyone know if it's actually going to start? Is there a problem?

Edith Bowman & that bloke are seriously doing my head in...

I saw them ok last night. On BBC3, not an interactive stream. :confused:

Re: Glasto BBCi
 
Yeah New Order were on BBC3 - they showed quite a long part of their set, compared to Kasabian (the band I actually wanted to see). Saw them live a few months ago - absolute class.

Just so everyone knows - the multiscreens did appear once Wimbledon had finished for the day, so it must just be down to stream numbers.

Out of interest, did you Langley people get both at the same time?

No, about 1pm, they said that they were going to show New Order live, but the had just finished. After I posted, they showed highlights.

Kasabian were really good, that was on the multiscreen (they went to the Kasabian set when they realised New Order had finished)
