I have to say looking ahead through the epg this looks simply amazing-I've always thought the BBC dealt well with several live streams, their Wimbledon coverage on the red button has always been excellent, but 24 linear channels of live sport at once is phenomenal. Looking through the epg I think I'm going to be really spoilt for choice. Sort of makes up for only landing tennis tickets in the ballot.

I'm using the BBC Sports app on my PS3 and currently have woman's Olympic football South Africa vs Sweden in so called HD and the PQ is awful in comparison to the BBC Olympic 2 HD channel.

I am mate , I was on the ps3 before and thought I'd give it a try. I'd be interested to know what others think of the HD PQ on the BBC sports app because compared to the BBC Olympic HD channels on Sky/Freesat/VM it's dire in my opinion. The BBC need to improve the PQ of the streams in the app , it's a real shame as the app looks and functions excellent otherwise. Have you tried Eurosport HD Dave there PQ is even better.

Good to see 3D HD there. I have Panasonic Viera 55 inch. The 3D is cinema quality. Looking forward to this.
