Hi Hendry,

.........brill!...and I'm not lucky enough to be going along this year, so great to know the timings on t.v....

**hegeland** · 11 April 2007, 08:36 PM

I've got the schedule for Eurosport, in case anyone wants it. For the first time, they'll air all three sessions every weekday, even more than BBC 1/2 actually!

**April madness** · 11 April 2007, 08:55 PM

hege, of course I (and I think many others) want to know Eurosport's schedule!

**Skypigeon** · 11 April 2007, 09:07 PM

Thanks Hendry the 8th! And HEGE!! PLEASE POST the Eurosport schedule!!

**Maija** · 11 April 2007, 10:06 PM

Not being Hegeland, I'll still post a useful link to the Eurosport schedule. It IS, however, in German. The schedule is for all of the European Eurosports.

AUFZ = Aufzeichnung = recording.

If you scroll up on that page it also has a schedule of when Hall of Frame is planned. WDH = Wiederholung = rerun. It seems that they will send the finals of the Masters, Malta, Welsh and China, starting next Monday.

I don't have the BBC and I like Eurosport much more!

**April madness** · 12 April 2007, 06:47 AM

Maija, you're a star, a nice schedule for all snooker on Eurosport

Is it CET indicated in the programme, or british time (I always seem to mix them up)?

It's all German times, CET.

This is absolutely typical. I come back to the UK for the tournament and oneof the reasons is to watch more snooker, and find out that Eurosport is showing more than BBC which means I'd have been better off watching it here.

It's a bit of a disgrace in my opinion, and when the BBC eventually loses coverage of snooker to Sky, it'll be their own fault...

When will they realise that not everyone has Interactive?

**Valderie** · 12 April 2007, 09:14 AM

Quite agree Rambon. I now have interactive but find the lack of live coverage for the evening matches very frustrating, especially as BBC now have 4 channels and a lot of the stuff on in the evenings are repeats!
I've e-mailed at half a dozen times about this but obviously it's made no difference!

Ah but they have to show the daytime repeat of To The Manor Born, and if they don't have 3 hours per day of DIY/Gardening/Makeover shows.......

But you can turn the sound down if you don't like the commentary...

I've always preferred watching snooker with earplugs in to watching snooker with both earplugs and a blindfold on

Surely the BBC can spare one channel for a couple of hours in a morning for two weeks...

**Robert602** · 13 April 2007, 10:30 AM

I think to be fair the interactive coverage makes up for the BBC's shortcomings in terrestrial broadcasts. They have commentators in the box and cameras rolling for every minute of every match, 4 tournaments per year.

Most people can get freeview and those who can't can get basic Sky, and failing that there's comprehensive broadband coverage. Surely one of these is a worthy investment for the type of snooker fan for whom 4 or 5 hours a day just isn't enough?

Eurosport can afford to put more time into it, they're a dedicated sports channel. The two main BBC channels have to appease the masses, and sickening as it is, a lot of people would rather watch homes under the hammer. Majority rules as they say.
