I'm actually on Henman Hill right now and got a couple of photos of Clare Balding getting ready!

Why aren't they using the studio(s) or positions available in/on top of the Media Centre?

That's the spot where Todat At Wimbledon's been coming from all tournament.

Clare's just left the box, walked past us and gone towards the courts- perhaps doing a link down there now it looks like Andy's won?

Edit: they're packing up the studio now, must be moving the show in light of Murray's victory!

They've just done a piece celebrating the Wimbeldon theme music which is 40 years old this year.

The question is what theme music did they use 41 years ago?

One consequence of yesterday's channel hopping was that - because I always end up pausing live TV and getting way behind - I had to catch up via the iPlayer "live" (rewindable) streams.

And because I that, I found out that - on the BBC2 live stream, at least - they do 50p now (presumably 720p). I only had it for a short period though, so perhaps it decided my bandwidth wasn't high enough.

I thought that was only available on non-live iPlayer.

On Kodi, I've been able to access the 720p/50 live streams. Even the News channel is 720/50.

Because they (BBC Sport) don't have a studio on the media centre roof. They have stand up positions and that's it.

Suppose they could have used the IMG studio on the roof used for 'Live@Wimbledon' as they all bugger off for the night at 7pm, but watching that live stream via YouTube, it's a really poor position, which does nothing (except on the three shot) to give you a Vista of the grounds.

Quite good if you like blurred shots overseas broadcasters set up and de rig after a solo piece to camera in the background, though.

Eurosport are using that studio for their nightly highlights programme (10pm).

Wimbledon isn't on BBC1 Wales tomorrow due to Wales football team homecoming coverage. This means BBC2 Wales will be showing BBC2 network until 1:45" then BBC1 network until 6:00 and then BBC2 network (and then BBC1 network no doubt from 7:00)

Will Wales get a clean feed of have to listen to Sue Barker telling viewers to change channel that doesn't apply in Wales.

Presumably it'll be all on the Red Button.
