    Think he's a bit frustrated about not competing and/or being gay.

    The "LOOK" count has definitely decreased as the games have gone on, I think he's been coached or hynotized or something. The occasional one still slips out and I'm sure I heard a "LISTEN!" to which I duly did. Begs the question, which one of the senses is he going to assault next?

    the BBC coverage has been brilliant, i'm enjoying it. like what's been said before though, its some other company doing the shoddy camera work.

    That would be my only criticism of the Beeb so far, way too many of those little film/montages. Can't we just enjoy the games, the atmosphere etc? Other than that it has been pretty good.

    Re: "24 simultaneous channels"

    You dont get all 24 channels if you only have freeview so if for any reason you cant get satellite or virgin cable you only get 3 or at night 4 channels

    If you were limited to just the red button it would be one channel during the day so dont assume everyone gets all 24 - there are a lot of people (me included) who doesnt

    Re: "24 simultaneous channels"

    It's great if you have an interest in a particular event, but as a common viewer I have rarely strayed from one and three this weekend. You can see all of them on iplayer on the computer because that's all the virgin box does.

    Re: "24 simultaneous channels"

    Yes and its great - I have watched a few things on my PC that wouldnt otherwise have been availlable to me but its not the same as watching on a big TV screen - baffled as to why the BT vision box cant show online channels as it shows regular iplayer but not the BBC olympic streams.

    Also not everyone has a good enough internet connection to watch the on line stuff

    Re: "24 simultaneous channels"

    Durin the mens team Gymnastics the BBC presenters were apologising for the coverage not showing the British Gymnasts in important events.

    They showed replays as soon as possible.

    The BCC coverage has been superb in my opinion.

    The BBC olympics app has been great while at work too, streaming everything. hardly missed a medal :)
