[backstage] MHEG-5 Wimbledon on Freesat?

Open question... There seems to be most of the MHEG-5 services that you get on Freeview on Freesat now (Weather maps, for example), but not the interactive Sport screens. Do I need an update I don't have for the box, or is BBCi Sport on Freesat still waiting for kickoff? Cheers Brian

The BBC is legal, Zattoo isn't? Of course, this debate depends on how you interpret your definition of illegal broadcast! Zattoo is, they argue, merely rebroadcasting the channels in territories that can already receive them via other platforms (cable, DTV etc). This they argue is entirely

But why does the bbc not provide the service? Possibly because they're a bit busy at the moment providing the red button hd feed multiscreen digital online stuff blow-by-blow updates to all their news services! :) I think it's just a bit too niche at this moment. I'm still looking

2008/7/1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: But why does the bbc not provide the service? Because the BBC legal people, prompted by the likes of PACT have decided that they can't. Shame really. The BBC could just buy something like LiveStation and get it up and running in a week. Or at least they could
