Right,
I'm interested in the Snowboarding and the Hockey but I only have Freeview and an Internet connection.
Can anyone tell me how I might see some of the above please?  (Preferably free!) |

I guess BBC iplayer is your best bet???
I did a quick search & found http://watchvancouverolympics.com but it is saying "Service Temporarily Unavailable" so I can't say if it's any good or not 
It also came up with http://www.nbcolympics.com which has some stuff to watch 
Most seems to be shown on BBC 2 & BBC HD late night though |

Eurosport have scheduled 3 hours of snowboard coverage. Not allot given their whole Olympic coverage is 370 hours but better than nothing. What and when is on their website |

Ps the iplayer only shows stuff that's already been broadcast on BBC channels it doesn't stream anything live or otherwise. |

If you want to record the red button it should be channel 301 on Freeview. |

I only get one option - how do you get the other options?
IE: Here : I only get channel 301...
Also, in the schedule, the Men's Halfpipe final is in one show from 11.20pm - 5.00am. Am I supposed to record 6 hours and then fast forward through it FFS?
Oh, I can watch it a day later on 301  |

If the menu comes up you want 'Sport Multiscreen'. |
