    Winter Olympics on BBC

    The Winter Olympics start on the BBC on Friday. They are meant to have extensive digital coverage which I assume means multiple interactive channels for different events.

    Anyone know where these channels are? When the BBC covered the Summer Olympics they created 20+ named interactive channels. I assumed something similar but I can't find anything on kingofsat.

    Think it is being shown on BBC 2 from about 7:00 a.m.
    Here is the schedule. h**p://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/winter-olympics/2014/schedule

      I know on Freeview there are going to be two red button channels as well as the BBC 2 coverage so I'm assuming there must be at least two interactive channels on 28.2e.

          Freeview (UK DTT for those who aren't from the UK) is limited to 2 interactive (red button) channels due to lack of bandwidth on the current UK DTT system.

          Usually on 28.2e the BBC have more interactive channels as they have more bandwidth.

          I'd be expecting a minimum of 2 channels but I'd guess more like 6.

            LUXEMBOURG/ NEW YORK – February 4, 2014 – SES (NYSE Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG) has been selected to provide satellite capacity to NBC Olympics, a division of the NBC Sports Group, during its production of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, from February 6-February 23. The announcement was made today by Ron Gnidziejko, Vice President, International Transmission, NBC Universal, and Samantha McCloskey, Vice President of Global Occasional Use Services for SES.

            NBC Olympics will use Ku-band capacity aboard the NSS-7 satellite to distribute HD Olympics coverage directly from event venues and a pair of roaming NBC News SNG (satellite news gathering) vehicles to the International Broadcasting Center (IBC) at the Sochi Games.

            A portion of the capacity will provide emergency backup capabilities, enabling NBC to route HD Olympics traffic from Sochi to North America over NSS-7, if necessary. SES' NSS-7 satellite and NSS-5 satellite played an integral role in NBC Olympics' coverage of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London and 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

            "NBC consistently sets the gold standard with world class sports event coverage, and the 2014 Winter Olympics are sure to offer up a compelling backdrop for 18 days of riveting and innovative NBC Olympics broadcasts from Sochi, Russia," said McCloskey.

            Gnidziejko said, "We are pleased to be working once again with SES, whose satellite fleet affords us unique capabilities that meet NBC Olympics' challenging requirements for broadcasting the Games on the networks of NBCUniversal."

              So it looks like satellite only has two interactive channels the same as DTT Guess those BBC budget cuts are digging in. The two interactive channels I've found are:

              Channel: BBC Red Button 1
              Satellite: Astra 2E
              SID: 6390
              Frequency: 10773.00
              Polarisation: Horizontal
              Modulation: DVB-S, QPSK
              Symbol Rate: 22000
              FEC: 5/6

              Channel: BBC Red Button 2
              Satellite: Astra 2F
              SID: 54190
              Frequency: 12552.00
              Polarisation: Vertical
              Symbol Rate: 22000
              FEC: 5/6
              Modulation: DVB-S, QPSK

                  Do we know if any other those broadcasters are available in Europe and have English commentary?
