Wimbledon on the BBC.

Darren

I take it the BBC coverage of Wimbledon will be much the same as last year via the Youview box. With also the use of the BBC contented red but and on the red button channel 6021. I will be watching some of Wimbledon but will not see all of it as I will be at work during the day.

always difficult to judge until they start broadcasting but I  believe on Youview the BBC coverage  will be  the regular freeview BBC 1 & 2 channels (SD &HD)  plus the red button freeview 601 (SD)  plus if you receive the COM8 Multiplex freeview 602 603 604 605 606 (SD). I suspect you will also have the Iplayer option to watch the current BBC1/2 Wimbledon programme live or from the beginning. The YouView BBC Sport App looks like that it will provide live coverage of 15 of the courts. I  think tomorrow play is scheduled on 17 courts so most will be broadcast. It is likely that the BBC Sport App HD quality feed will be superior to the Freeview SD red button channels.

Eurosport will also have a highlights programme.

So maybe a good question is who you betting on this year lol I fancy a flutter.

Well quality on the Youview BBC Sport App stream was indeed very good this morning.   I wonder did anybody set up a series record  on the main BBC Wimbledon programmes today. I believe the first program was the BBC 2 HD at 11:30 am today (youview  I description describes it as Day1 ,Part 1. That broadcast  is scheduled to last currently to c 8:30pm.  However as the BBC are currently using the same series CRID for their Wimbledon programmes on both the BBC 1 HD and BBC 2 HD channels you have on BBC 1 HD another programme in the (same) series  from 1:45pm to 6pm - that programme  description is Day 1 , Part 2. 

So we have a scenario whereby a subsequent programme in the series starts before the previous programme in the series finishes.  This has caused problems for other Freeview recording devices that use series linking  -  does anybody know how Youview handles this scenario.
