Thanks Majid and Jim. Putting that in
--url "http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/olympics/36654223";
with --tvmode hvf does indeed seem to work. I went down to hvfsd and then
to hvfvhigh which brings the bit rate down to about 2Mbit/s.
I managed to record 1h45min with
--url "http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/olympics/36654223"; --tvmode hvfvhigh
before my computer went into sleep mode. When it came out of sleep mode it
transcoded the .ts to .mp4, and I was able to play it with VLC.
About 1h40min after the coverage ended I tried the same command again. I
only got 4min20s from 5 hours of coverage, so I am going to have to think
again to be able to download any sort of catch up.
I then noticed the Sunday Times had a schedule of coverage. For yesterday
it showed BBC Red Button 1 to 6 and BBC Olympics 1 to 22. I guess these
channels must be on the BBC Sport website, because there are only 8 HD and 8
SD BBC Olympics satellite channels even if you can manage to find them. BBC
Red Button 6 and BBC Olympics 15 were showing the same as I had been
watching and recording on the BBC RB1 satellite channel, but today
everything is different.
I then saw that the Sunday Times was saying there had been out of hours
coverage on BBC4 from 1pm to 4pm of the eventing cross-country. That seemed
a bit surprising since the cross-country did not start until 2pm and went on
to 7.05pm. I downloaded it in HLSHD. In 3 hours of coverage I got 7
Segment not found errors. I skipped through it and found it was mostly
swimming and hockey. There was just 15min of eventing near the end.
