FEI TV and Badminton coverage... available in the UK or not?

[Dusty85]

Hi all,

Ive got FEI TV subscription, and was very much looking forward to watching it all on saturday. Ive just noticed that next to XC link on the FEI TV page it says 'Due to geo-restrictions this will not be available in the UK'

Ive watched it all previously so I'm just wondering if it will be shown or not?

Thanks for any clarification

Dunno but full coverage on red button 11-5

No you cannot watch it on FEI TV in the UK, but it is online on BBC website and red button.

You can also install Hola Unblocker (hola.org) and watch it on FEI TV that way.

This - my husband does it for me because I am useless

I have just discovered that you can record from the red button on sky plus, so definitely worth doing if life gets in the way of a sofa day on Saturday!

Ive tried downloading hola.org on my mac, but not sure its working? (it doesn't appear to be doing anything?!) Husband is an IT person so if all else fails I will ask him when he's home on friday!

So is the xc on the red button on Sunday?

Why not just watch on bbc.co.uk/sport ? It will be streamed live on there, no need for FEI tv?

No it is on BBC2 in the afternoon.

It is live on BBC red button in its entirety! So why watch 2 hours of edited stuff?

How can I record the red button - I would need to set in advance

 

[criso]

You need to know what channel it the red button is on, there will be channels called BBCrb1 BBCrb2 etc. I'm with Virgin and they are usually right at the end, high 900's. You then set it to record like any other channel.

Is the dressage available to watch anywhere please?

 

[milliepops]

Haven't tried to watch FEI tv as need to save £££ but you can listen to Radio Badminton here

Anyone in the'know' as to what channel it might be?

Sky is on 980

 

[criso]

On Virgin it's 991. I've just set it to record.

 

[measles]

I'll check what red button channel we have set to record when I am home.

 

[VRIN]

I have found it! Didn't realise the channels went so high!!

I still can't get Hola / google chrome to work, I've subscribed to fei TV, which looks a waste of money! Help!

 

[atlantis]

I'm really cross about this. I know that the bbc have got the rights to it or whatever but we pay a lot for feitv and the dressage isn't on the bbc!! I'm cross!!!

Keep trying, email FEItv and ask them to reset your IPC address, then reload Hola.

Will depend a bit on what you are using to record on how you set in advance to record but for me on a virgin box

Switched to the red button channel ( 991 on virgin and i think 980 on sky)
Pressed OK to display info that shows you what's on now and next.
Scrolled forward till I got to Saturday and could see Badminton horse trails then pressed the record button to set it to record.

Yay I think Ive found it! Ive only got freeview but if you scroll back the channels from BBC1, about two in is BBC RB1 and go across and you eventually find Badminton at 11am tomorrow. Hope it works because Im working tomorrow too!
