Keep your eyes on this - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/categories/?filter=category%3A100010&order=date&scope=iplayercategories - bound to appear soon, probably with the tech difficulties left in.

Also, someone I know in Portugal was watching the game and they say they didn't get any tech problems. Was it only certain countries?

Apparently, the feed went unaffected on SF (Swiss) and oddly, Al Jazeera.

UEFA have already taken that down.

Very interesting turn of events tonight.

A few questions to ask now though.

I take it that the pictures are directed and have graphics added at the stadium, with that being passed back to Vienna to be uplinked around the world, so is the BBC doing the 5Live commentary simply from a satilite truck at the stadium coming straight back to the UK?

And I presume that the BBC commentary is therefore passed to Vienna and then fed back to London.

Thinking about if the game were on ITV, I'd hazard a guess that ITV are just taking the International feed from Vienna, and having their own commentary and any on the spot interviews being broadcast back to London from a truck at the stadium, I wouldn't have thought that there'd have been any reason to send it to Vienna.

So with this in mind, if ITV had lost the pictures, they would most probably be able to continue broadcasting their commentary on top of a static slide.

We were discussing what they would have done if they hadn't got pictures back, would they have shownt photos of the goals?

How would the highlights work?
Is the match recorded at the stadium, rather than in Vienna?

Not suprised if SF made their own arrangements, wouldn't be suprised if ORF any games in Austria had done the same thing or there was a deal between SF and ORF.

I've read ORF had a total blackout.

I'd imagine UEFA and the host broadcaster will work to put in additional backups ahead of the final on Sunday
