Re: BBC Olympic Channels Now Showing..
Good choice of streams for the opening ceremony.
SD on BBC1 & British Eurosport
HD on BBC1 HD & British Eurosport HD
3D on BBC HD & Eurosport 3D
Olympic stream 1 (HD & SD) with Audio Description.
Olympic stream 2 (HD & SD) with no commentary (that will please Danny Boyle).

Re: BBC Olympic Channels Now Showing..
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 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.
