Eurovision Song Contest - Belgrade 2008

If only SVT on satellite was like the BBC and FTA (or even FTV). In fact I'd happily subscribe to a Nordic pay-tv service - but they all require residency numbers...

I do speak a bit of Swedish and I'm aiming to learn more so I'd love the chance to watch the main Swedish channels. If I knew how to use to an open proxy so I could pick up SVT1 and 2 on Zattoo (only available with a Danish IP) I would. I also have an interest in German TV but it's a shame they dub programmes in Germany because in the Nordic nations they subtitile them e.g in Sweden I remember watching a bit of Heartbeat and Brainiac. The only Scandanavian channel I can watch is NRK1 from Norway which is available on Zattoo. Jack Dee's on at 22.45 if anyone's interested.

Melodifestivalen - FINAL ......

Direct External Player LIVE Link - WMP

Great camera effect when it goes slow with Linda blowing a kiss. Great song, good performance by her. Didn't like the backing choreography, thought Linda would have been great on her own. The only time the backing singers' choreography came into play was when she came down before blowing that kiss.

I'm really really liking the show this year. Great effects on the interviews with the artists and I love the "just nu pa scenen" bits mixed over the interviews.

Also didn't realise Therese Lof was in the choir this year.

Looks like it's going to be a victory # 2 for Perrelli this year...

The jury votes are in all in...

Top 3
Hero: 114
Just A Minute: 76
Empty Room: 72

Is my stream the only one that buffers every 5 seconds?

Trust me, I'm having the same problem - both Real AND WMP...

Mine doesn't but I've been watching the MF Final since the beginning, there will be a lot more demand at the moment, we're minutes away from the public vote announcement.

The winner is...

Charlotte Perelli with Hero.

Sanna was robbed!

However, a brilliantly produced show, great entries and a good web stream from SVT. No buffering at all for me.
