I emailed the BBC re lack of Burghley on red button. Coudn't understand why they didn't show it live if they had cameras there. Here's what they said:
Thank you for contacting the BBC. I understand you felt there was a lack of coverage of the Burghley Horse Trials on the BBC.
We try to give a wide range of sporting activities as much airtime as possible, offering more range than other network stations across the UK. In this case, Burghley Horse Trials Ltd is the sole owner of the worldwide broadcast and electronic media rights for the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials: including broadcasting on any and all television, radio, and internet platforms.
BBC had highlights of the event, and as such, on Sunday, 6 September between 15:00- 17:00, there was the Highlights and Show Jumping Finale Presented by Clare Balding.
This is also available on iPlayer:

That said, your complaint about the lack of coverage of the Horse Trials on BBC TV was sent to the sports teams and senior management via our daily report of audience feedback.
Thank you for raising this matter with us.
