....for motor sport followers anyway.You can get a video stream, but no audio, to see the qualifying, live races or the re-runs. If you can get BFBS on 96 mhz FM you can get live commentary of the F1. or maybe one of the radio regional stations will carry the 'Five Live' broadcast, or perhaps find 'R5'on your pc.



Using your Sky contoller.- ( for those who have not added channels previously I give the full procedure)



Press Services >System Setup >Add Channels



Freq 11954 >Polarisation H >MBaud 27.5 >FEC 2/3 .>Find Channels >Select



A list of channels is now displayed. The first 7 or 8 are the previous multi screen streams plus radio stns you may already have. You need to store any channels you may need by highlighting it and pressing the orange button. Press 'Select' and you are done. Go back now to 'Services' >'Other Channels' >'Select' and see what you have.



We were told BBC were cost cutting removing this interactive feature so why leave these streams running?

Hi Salamis



the streams ARE still there.. but they won't be there for much longer :(



IF they are still there, and BFBS can be received then you have a temp fix... VERY temporary :(
