Does anyone know if the listings for the 24 streams, plus the Freeview channels, will be available on Digiguide this time around. I don't think they were officially available back in 2008 but somebody was kind enough to add the six or so interactive streams IIRC.

Incidently, I don't know if this has been mentioned but on Virgin the 48 Olympic channels will be on 550-597 on the EPG. 550-573 in HD and 574-597 in HD.

AIUI on Sky the BBC Olympic channels are replacing some of the Box Office channels

Looks like the listings for the full fortnight (well, the 24 streams and sport events at least) will be in the next Radio Times, which like at Christmas is coming out early (Saturday 21st) and costs £2. The edition itself is still labelled as 28th July-3rd August as no other channel listings will be available beyond that yet.

An unlikely place for them to appear, but the first pictures of the BBC's set are on the BBC News School Report site.

Big curvy sofa and lots of wood.

I'm interested in how that will work, will the BBC1 listings for the 28th JUly to 3rd August be duplicated, once in the main magazine and again in the pull out.

There is no evidence of it coming out early, it still says Tuesday allover the magazine, I think the early release is in London only (and in this case you can forgive them for favouring London!)

A couple of Olympic TV coverage stories in the Evening Standard tonight:

US Broadcast Army Invade London

And it seems they managed to creep past security into the BBC's studio (although whether that's just journalistic license I'm not sure)

It says Saturday 21st on page 3, 5, 7 and 146 of my current London/Anglia/Midlands edition. Far from no evidence here! Have they really changed those pages in just the London edition?

Does the set revolve like the 2010 WC studio?
