The Badminton website says that BBC Two will be doing live XC coverage Sunday.

But I can find no mention of it on the BBC website. Has it be replaced by Snooker and MotoGP from Spain. Will the only coverage be the stupid 2 hour thing on Monday? With a VPN giving me a British IP, I can watch anything British local.

Is the darned FEI TV the only source? It says that you Brits can't watch FEI tv because the BBC is covering it. But WHERE is the live streaming BBC coverage of XC?

HELP!
 
Badminton website says BBC 2 for Monday but not Sunday.

'BBC (not available outside the UK)

SUNDAY 5th MAY

1150 – 1745 hours

BBC Sports Website & ‘Smart/Connected’ TVs (Red Button starts at 1220)
(Live Cross Country)


It's not on BBC 2 tomorrow/today - it's online live or the red button (aka a channel on tv showing the same live stream but occasionally doesn't have a channel number as such). As for access - online coverage will be on the BBC sport website which you'll be able to watch if you've got access to UK content (as long as it directs you to the UK BBC website, not the World one I'd imagine - they are different which is odd!).

Does that mean that the content will be available online through the BBC Sports website? Because I cannot find it on any schedule. It's not on the iplayer schedule. If it's not on iplayer, how does one access it online?

Naturally I don't have red button tv. In fact, I've given up TV completely in exchange for online.

If I'm relegated to purchasing a year's subscription to the notoriously unreliable FEI TV, I will. But I will be PO'ed.

Online coverage isn't put on any tv listings or iplayer. It's just a live stream for the duration of the event. It won't be put onto iplayer afterwards either (the coverage on BBC2 on Monday will be however as it's being shown on tv).

But it WILL be online from the BBC sports website - fear not! :D
 
Thanks! I had such a good experience watching BBC Olympic coverage and watching USEF TV coverage of Rolex last weekend, that I was about to explode if I couldn't watch THIS Badminton.

Need to get to bed early so I can be up at six, ready for a long day at the computer.

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!
