The Sport Thread

BBC HD will drop Francesco's Mediterranean Voyage if anything as it's a repeat that was put in place of Mock the Week which was mysteriously SD only at the last minute. The two episodes of Family Guy are new.

My understanding too. Think it has to be on analogue terrestrial whilst that continues - and it's only on BBC Two rather than BBC One in exceptional circumstances (and usually only partially on BBC Two not totally)

BBC Two Scotland showing Mock the Week repeat in place of highlights of the Scottish Rally Championship, which is still scheduled to air on the EPG.

And Family Guy dropped from HD, which I'm fairly annoyed at. Just got in so didn't get a chance to change the recording to BBC Three.

Family Guy dropped, A Little Later dropped in ( what else?! ), Francesco on time. So, HD and Three are out-of-sync now.

,,, and peculiarly, series linked Coast on the iPlayer has delivered the as yet unbroadcast second episode in HD of the series to my PC.

Isn't that quite normal for recorded programmes? Can you actually watch it yet or is it blocked until it has been broadcast?

Has there been any word as to when Coast will be on? It gets a repeat on Friday night so that could have the knock on effect of needing a replacement too

It's in the 'Available Now' section of the DLM ... but don't want to start watching it yet, so won't try and play it, I don't want it to expire as soon as next Sunday evening.

It does play, might be best to watch it this week in case they continue with episode 3 next Sunday!

Doesn't the BBC iPlayer DRM expire programmes X number of days after broadcast whether you have watch it or not? With X usually being 7?

It expires on 12th July, a month hence, the seven day window only starts once viewing starts.

(best back to the sport now)

Friday may be its only showing.
