The Olympics Thread, London 2012, Games of the XXX Olympiad, 27th July - 12th August

only have freeview so can only watch what's on BBC1,3 and red button right (which isn't everything)? sky and virgin TV have more options hence why i can't watch the boxing atm, right?

When I press the red button on a beeb channel and go to the Olympic thing it lets me watch everything. I'd assume that's the same on freeview?

The boxing's over now anyway until later.

Literally just finished then.


Haha, turned on the women's basketball right as in the absolute dying seconds of the game, 3 points down some Aussie lass takes a shot from her own half and nets it for it to go to extra time against France.

I heart the Olympics.

Cant score from your own half, gotta be in the opponents half. So I call B S on you!

Ah that's crap mate. You think they'd give boxing a bigger priority like.

If you've got Freesat (the superior option to Freeview) then you get all 24 channels.

Unfortunately Freeview is badly Adam.

Must have been the half way line. I don't really understand basketball and it happened quick.

You can't call BS on me though because everything's recorded and online!

Pretty sure you can score from anywhere in Basketball?

Shame. For all the obscure stuff I've loved the boxing has been my favourite sport. The 3 rounds of 3 minutes and conveyor belt of combatants makes for constant drama and entertainment.
