BBC Interactive

[Stunrunthru]

I can't get coverage of the Welsh Open on BBC interactive, however it appears on the BBC website.

Anyone else having same probs??????

It hasn't been on BBC interactive yet but the semis and final will be as they have done for the past 4 years. Thank god they are because Eurosport have bloody Skiing or some other rubbish on during the afternoon.

Second match should be on Eurosport TV I guess

Lacklustre BBC Coverage

I find the BBC's coverage of this tournament woefully limited. Apart from the fact that one can not watch the live stream, the so-called "latest scores" are never punctual or consistent. The match report is also delayed. Prime example being the O'Sullivan - Carter match yesterday which had to be cut short at 2-1. Both the live stream and BBC Wales Channel stopped transmission. I mean, how ridiculously frustrating. I'm a license-fee payer. The very least they can do is fulfil their contractual obligation to the paying public.Not only have the BBC lost all the top flight programming, but they're also losing their integrity with their current scheduling.

Sorry for the rant. Is there any other way I can watch this niche sport?

And yes, I WILL complain to the dire BBC too.

Apart from that-you still a lucky UK-resident. I can't even get that "poor" BBC-coverage!

Try the link mentioned here. http://www.thesnookerforum.com/board...9&postcount=12

It is the same eurosport online broadcast, so when eurosport is showing it, should be available there too

Okay thanks. Will do, fingers crossed it works

[Perry]

Good luck-sorry for my slow brain-apologise

Further to my rant earlier, is anyone else becoming annoyed with the two dim-wits in the commentary box?? They are continuously stating the obvious and making irregular shot forecasts. Then one of the fools when as far as to say "Mark's a left-hander". Oh pardon my eyesight but I could've sworn I saw him playing with his right hand?

Good God, sort it out BBC. Bring back Virgo at least the man could distinguish his rights from his lefts. I hope their not commentating this evening they'll ruin the match.
