Not just the beeb...
Last nights opening ceremony was broadcast live on TVE1 here in Spain. Normally TVE1 is simultaneously streamed online but not it seems for matters Olympic...
In the event I was able to watch the ceremony on BBC1 via satellite Astra 1N on a 80cm dish and an 40€ FTA satellite box.
Only slight problem was the superimposed automatic English subtitles which were delayed by about 15 seconds; this happens with all Beeb transmissions and I cannot find a way to get rid of them. No subtitles ON/OFF switch on the remote or within the various menus.
