Was always going to be the case - they're essentially red button channels. Suspect only Eurosport 1 will have any presentation. ES2 will probably be basically be the OBS streams but with more ads.


BBC Red Button channels have someone complying them and put up BBC slates between broadcasts. Just parking OBS feeds to line is a lot more basic.

It's just been announced in German media outlets that Eurosport 1 HD and TLC HD will be free on satellite during the Winter Olympics. They are usually part of the HD+ service. (SD is already free).

Existing HD+ users like myself will get access to Eurosport 2Xtra's Winter Olympic coverage.


Yep - and AIUI Eurosport HD on terrestrial DVB-T2, which is usually being the Freenet paywall (love it being called Free...) is also FTA for the duration? Though http://digitalbitrate.com/dtv.php?liste=1&live=18&lang=en&mux=FREENET-TV-3 seems to suggest it's still encrypted as of this morning? (No resolution details or screen shots)

But neither do Eurosport 1 HD or TLC HD on Astra 19.2 - so it could be the switch hadn't/hasn't happened yet...

Encryption will be lifted between 9th and 25th February.



TLC HD is now FTA on 19.2. Eurosport HD still encrypted.

Are the OBS graphics pretty much exactly the same as Rio - look to be the same (awful) colour.

Opening Ceremony in France is on France 2 and Franceinfo. Not on FR Eurosport 1 or 2.

I don't think Eurosport have rights in France do they? Like the BBC, France Televisions had their own deal with the IOC for 2018 and 2020.

The BBC did a deal with Discovery to swap 2022/2024 rights and 2018/2020 rights, but I don't think a similar deal has been made in France.

I've got a feeling France was completely exempt from the deal.



France Télévisions has 2018 and 2020 - they haven't given any rights away.

Discovery Eurosport took the French rights for 2022 and 2024. Currently it's the sole rights holder, but both Games must be free-to-air in France, and Paris is hosting 2024, so obviously something will be on-sold.

Exactly the same.
Same style, same shape, same timing and caption positioning, same font, (Sochi had a hideous larger font than London 2012 for some reason)
Only two noticible differences. Name aston colour backing is a muddy olive green, and there are falling opaque snowflake animations on the event title captions.

Both the recent Sony HDC's and GVG LDX's are specced to operate between -20°C and +45°C. As suggested, the actual temperature is far less of an issue than temperature gradients (especially in humid countries) where condensation forming can cause serious problems.

So the BBC Sport astons have one of their first colour changes depending on the competition, that awful olive green being used just like the OBS graphics.
