FEI Europeans: Freestyle dressage... tv?

How I agree with you all. B****y BBCi service. At least we can get it on-line but it's not very comfy where I have my computer and the picture is not great. never mind-hey at least i can watch.
 
Mine is working but flamin commentators - Judy something drones in a monotonous monotone, Mike Tucker makes it clean he isnt into dressage..... OH marched off to bed moaning....... just waiting to see Laura B and will then give up. It is almost impossible to hear the music beneath the boring commentary!
 
Thought I was being dumb but nope, it's not on Freeview. We left Windsor early in order to come back and watch on TV with parents, now can't go back as tix won't let us in. Tried calling the BBC complaints line ... engaged!!!

I had a row with mine too, because after 2 hours of watching the football I still couldn't turn over because he wanted to see them interview Arsen effing Wenger

Those who can't find it... have you tried choosing the MotoGP option under sports on bbci (red button).. that's where I found it.
 
All that seems to be on freview is Leeds & Reading festivals. We moved out of Reading for the week to get away from it!!! Still can't get through to BBC omplaints!
 
Took us ages to find it too. Why are Equestrian sports (except racing, which the boys like) always on 'other'.

Perhaps we should petition the BBC.
 
I am watching the dressage now, but the commentators are driving me mad with their chit-chat. I want to hear the music! I want to see the horse and rider in unison with the music. It is so bad that I am considering turning the sound off. What is the point of dressage to music if you can't hear the music

It's repeated from 1.30am this morning on a rolling screening until 7.00am.

God, I wish I'd seen this post. I gave up at 1.10 since I had to get up at 6.30. Oh well! Three cheers for the reliable ole Beeb again...
 
Oh no - I just tried channel 301 and it ended at 9.
Couldn't get it to work last night so I threw a strop!
Bahhh.
 
I was intending to watch on the BBC website (in Buxton we don't have digital yet so no Freeview) but as they were late starting I watched it all on FEITV instead. I did check during the break that it was on the BBC site - mysteriously titles show jumping! They are always late updating the links there - drove me mad during the Olympics.
Unusually FEITV had the BBC commentary team. The Judy referred to above was judge and competitor Judy Harvey, and Richard Davison was there all the time except when he went down to help Carl prepare. I agree that they were wrong to talk over the music, but they did stop doing that in the latter stages.

I found it quite amusing when they kept being referred to by the other commentator as 'Richard & Judy' !! Easily amused! lol

Hahaha same here!! "Richard and Judy are sat here aghast..."

Weeell the problem is that those of us who have yards to do and horses to ride can't stay up all night. Good old BBC let us have Match of the Day on at 1.30am.

Those of you with freeview who couldn't get it on tv please make sure you complain to beeb and get friends to as well. It wouldn't have not been shown if it was snooker, cricket or anything else male dominated.
