    why is event dressage not on red button as scheduled????

    For those of you with a Freesat box and no sky here is what to do...... Manually tune in Olympic 6 on the box i.e., Add it as a Free to Air Channel, frequencies etc for all Olympic Channels can be found here http://www.satandpcguy.com/Site/2012_london_olympics_uk_tv_bbc_frequencies.php...

    why is event dressage not on red button as scheduled????

    Nope have been checking frequently and still saying 'no coverage today' under Equestrian. Tried going to Channel 455 too and it say's '455 not found'. Looks like you do need a Skybox/Sky or Virgin or to see it :-(
