BBC Olympic Coverage Online - OK at 512kbps. Hurrah

By admin • August 10, 2008

Beijing 2008 Olympic Games

The BBC have a good online service for Olympic coverage via the web, offering 6 channels of coverage - the same as the interactive options via satellite.

It also seesms to work reasonably well via connections with speeds as low as 512kbps, which is what I have been using.

This is one of the few times of the decade when you can watch Table Tennis in preference to Football - a small island of civilisation for a couple of weeks. And now you can do it online.

One to take advantage of, expecially if you are setup with 2 monitors and have no digital TV feed to your office.

The BBC Live Olympic coverage page here, and is only available in the UK.

I agree.

More table tennis.

Less Blair.

Is it the name?

STB.

p.s. watching TTennis players put a spin on the ball shows just how much spin footballers purport to put on a ball is, er, balls.
