Am I going mad - Wheres the Show Jumping???

[sexyspev]

Am I going totally bonkers... I have been looking on the red button for the Show Jumping, and all I can find is mens cycling...

Where is it hiding from me???

 

[faerie666]

I have the same problem, can't find it online either

 

[irishdraftlover]

because of so many eliminations and withdrawals its not starting til 1030 our time

 

[Flame_]

In CR they're saying its because they're not starting until 10.30am.

 

[faerie666]

Ah, that would explain it, thank you

 

[ecb89]

haha i was just about to come and here and ask the same thing. thought i was going insane

 

[meesa1]

Ive been the same - thought I was going crazy! Rather than going through the red button if you have Freeview just go to Freeview channel 302, mine takes agaes to load through the red button - found this quicker

 

[corribsurprise]

now it looks like it's been abandoned altogether?

 

[ecb89]

my guide on my tv now says its starting at 12.30

 

[meesa1]

This is so frustrating!!!!

 

[sexyspev]

What?!?! I am not impressed... at least the BBC could have told us...

What on earth am I going to do with myself??!!

 

[faerie666]

It's a bloody joke!

 

[sexyspev]

The coverage yearteday was great, but today we have not heard anything from the BBC... in CR they are now saying that it wont be on untill 12.30 when my step-daddy will want to be watching the grand prix... not good...

 

[Lizzie66]

I've just checked the red button on BBC1 and it is saying the coverage is on the red button on BBC2, the SJ bit is meant to be 15:00 to 17:00.

Sorry for being slow on the uptake.
But what showjumping is it? And do I have to have sky to watch it, I've only got freeview
Thanks
Nickie

Nickie it is the european eventing championships - it is on the red button on BBC, but the Beeb have decided not to show some of it... some no one is quite sure what time its on etc!!!!

 

[RubysGold]

Ah ok, thanks dora

Did they say why they aren't showing some?
Nickie

 

[sexyspev]

Well general concensus (sp) is that due to the number of withdrawals and the fact that none of team GB are jumping early I guess they did not see the point of showing all the SJ....

 

[RubysGold]

ah right, thanks for filling me in

 

[madamebonnie]

They are so useless, its supposed to be on bbci 302 now but theyre just doing sports update which has been repeated from 1030!!!

The second session of jumping starts 2 our time but i think theyre only going to show a round up of it on bb2 later on!!!

I dont even want commentry, i mean im sure theyre filming it anyway why cant they just stream it over!!

 

[HumBugsey]

its most definatly being filmed because mike tucker said the BBC were used the french feed of it! On the original schedule it wasn't supposed to be on atm anyway but back at 1 so I'll look again then. it's on at 2.50 on bbc 2 anyway. But there is a bit of a point seeing as 4 of the 5 brits riding are in the top 8! At least it's a nice reason i spose!

Stream what, an empty arena during the lunch break?

Due to the reduced number of combinations who've made it through to the SJing, only 10 jumped this morning, starting from 11.30am (France time). The remaining thirty jump after the scheduled lunch break, which ends at 2.00pm (French time).

So between the short amount of time it takes for 10 to jump after 10.30am UK time, and 1pm UK time there was nothing for the BBC to show!

Its on!!!!
