Rowing at the Olympics

Does anyone know on which channel it will be shown?  It is at 3am tomorrow morning and I would love to record it...  Thank you!

There's not a person on the planet less interested in sport than I, but as a Plymouthian I was delighted that Tom Daley has at last won gold. Just sad that his father's not here to see his triumph.

Hello Victoria,Thank you for your comments.  I have tried to watch from the various sources but have not been very successful!  Perhaps the truth lies in the fact that the BBC can only show 350 hours of the Olympics this year compared to 3000 hours previously.....  The £920 million deal for full coverage was won by Discovery....  :-( :-( :-(I also missed the dressage this morning.  Will see where I can find it!!!

Don't know if you managed to get it, but it's BBC1 and channel 601 for olympics. iplayer too for catchup. Sometimes some jumping between the two is required to catch swimming and gymnastics, or surfing!! Who knew that was an olympic sport!

The BBC had limited rights this year.  Discovery / euros port paid for the rights and the BBC can have 2 live streams which due to the tube difference are early morning.  Iplayer will have whatever the BBC shows as 'catch up'.Check the Olympics schedule on their website to see when the event is on.

Thank you for your reply. My confusion was based on reading earlier today the day-by-day guide, it seemed to me that most of the coverage was going to be about cycling!  The TV guide on iPlayer just gives blanket Olympics coverage but not by sport.Thank you once again.
