BBC Olympic Coverage
First, the good stuff. The 23 additional BBC HD Olympic channels on the Sky platform are brilliant. The coverage is about as comprehensive as it could possibly be.
... and then the bad. It has been mentioned in passing on other threads, but the 'drumming' before and after all replays of all sports by the BBC is driving me to distraction. How much longer do we have to put up with this unnecessary, distracting, nonsense? Is there anyone who likes it (or even doesn't mind it)? |

The cycling coverage was diaboical, the presenters didnt have any clue what was going on, they didnt ever mention the names of the riders or have the timing gaps.

I'm one of the developers who worked on the BBC's online video player for the Olympics so I can answer your questions
![]() The swoosh sound comes from the OBS video feed, so something that the BEEB can't do anything about. The cycling time information was also a OBS issue: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012...?newsfeed=true Any other questions let me know, and i'll do my best to answer them! ![]() |

Sound has been very hit and miss, couldn't hear the national anthem during Lochte's medal ceremony.

I'd be grateful for some dragon-boat style drumming in the rowing if it drowned out the blithering of the commentators.

Fed up with using experts that know nothing about the spot that they know nothing about, Tanni Grey T reporting on cycling, getting Michael Johnson, Kelly Holmes and John McEnroe to talk about swimming, cycling and gymnastics - crazy. I guess tomorrow will see Chris Boardman on sailing, Lineker on 3 day eventing and Colin Jackson on weightlifting There are enough experts on every sport to get those in rather than the stupid way they are presenting it.
As for the cycling, while Imcan accept the problems with lack of gaps and distances to go weren't the Beeb's fault, the re-run I watched (after coming back from near Box Hill) showed little imagination in terms of camera use, made little use of overhead shots and felt as if it were 90% from the back of a single motorcycle. ITV manage much, much better with their low budget coverage of city centre criterium races (the Tour Series) and the Tour of Britain. Things can only get better ........ |

Somewhat ominously Manolo Romero the man who runs OBS has announced he is stepping down in 2013 - possibly because he knows they are not going to come out well from this Olympics and he has got in first.
As for the drumming - I can't say I've noticed it - but then that may be because I suffer from mild tinnitus so am used to a certain amount of background noise ![]()

The coverage is shit , I'd you put the bbc Olympic channel 11 on now all you can see is one end of old Trafford and the sound from the crowd .
Surely we should get some sort of build up from the so called commentary team. |

LOL, so the BBC manage to get 24 HD(& SD) ch, yes 24 up so people can have as much viewing choice as possible & people are still unhappy. I bet no other country has a public service broadcaster prepared to do that. Maybe they don't have the staff. I don't particularly care for BBC, but just imagine ITV Sport. What do you do at live events?

Of course they have the staff , they have people at the venue covering both games . What I do at live events has nothing to do with this , this is an event being broadcast on tv . |

Why are they repeating earlier events. I keep thinking it's live when it's just a repeat.
