According to H&H it's the following:

'Cross-country will be shown live on the BBC Sport website on the Saturday from 8.55am-4pm and on the red button replay from 6pm-1.05am.

On Sunday 1 September the showjumping and medal ceremony will be live on the BBC Sport website from10-11.30am, 12.25-2.15pm and 2.30-3pm. It will be on the red button replay from 9pm-00.05am and highlights will be shown on BBC Two from 4-6pm.'

I'm guessing the red button stuff is probably for only those with 'connected' tvs again which is annoying but at least all the xc is online by the looks of it :biggrin3:
 
I will be in the States that weekend, does anyone know of a website I can watch it via - will the BBC sport one have coverage again? Or FEI TV?
 
Just to clarify do you mean you can only watch it on the red button if you have one of these new Internet tvs? Or will you be able to watch it on normal sky/red button?

Honey - original post says BBC online has it, and I believe FEI have it too at whatever the cost is :)

Oops, I was always one of those don't read the full question types!

I've watched on the FEI site from abroad in the past. If you don't mind watching it half an hour later, they uploaded it for free anyway (at least they did for Kentucky..)

Which I'm supposed to have, as we are with virgin, but I still couldn't get it on the red button. It's very frustrating trying to watch showjumping on a laptop when it freezes during crucial rounds.

I actually have no idea. I've got a normal digi tv with freeview and I couldn't watch any of red button coverage from last weekend... Not sure if it was working through Sky.

Arn't you ill this weekend MandyMoo? ;)
 
Sounds like some tense moments happening at the trot up right now. Frenchman Lionel Guyon's horse was sent to the holding box, but passed on re-inspection. now Dag Albert's horse has been sent to the holding box.
 
I think the SJ and dressage was available on the red button EXCEPT if you only have Freeview, like me. Any 'paid for' box should be OK. I say 'should'...

The class system is alive and well in the BBC ;)
 
I guess there's no where online to watch the trot up? Just watched the driving pairs worlds trot up live from Slovakia (for free) !
 
No, I'm just following it on twitter. Tom's horse has been sent to the holding box. All other Brits through.

Nope we have sky that we pay for and still couldn't get it on red button. You need one of the new TV's that connect to the internet to watch it on TV.

I apologise - I'm so prehistoric that I confused the interactive telly with Sky. I'm surprised I can even turn mine on some days... :p
