One thing I wish that could be setup

The one thing I would really like to be available is being able to turn off commentators, but still have the sound of the arena

Go to the actual event? You also get to see it in the highest definition possible.

This is (or at least was) actually quite common on digital TV platforms in Europe back when I had a motorised satellite setup.

Re: One thing I wish that could be setup

I would love to be allowed to turn of the stupid age restriction passcode before a certain time, there are no under 18s in my home and none likely.

Re: One thing I wish that could be setup

BBC had this option for a bit, now the only options are TV commentary or Radio commentary.

Now you know that these days adults have to be told what they can watch. Free thought has been abolished

Re: One thing I wish that could be setup

Does the age restriction get set on first showing perhaps?

Sorry not sure what you mean. However if you mean by me it's not set at my end . I am watching recordings of the latest show. Clearly not at the moment

With the usual 5.1 audio from Sky and TNT switching off the centre channel leaves you with just the arena audio.

My fault, what I meant was that I wondered if the pin requirement got set by the time that the program is first broadcast and it then stays with it at whatever time it is subequently repeated.
