Is BBC Multichoice for Olympics not available here?

Is multichoice being blocked in Ireland? Are there alternatives?

All the BBC Olympic channels can be added and watched through added channels http://www.lyngsat.com/hd/Astra-2E-2F-2G.html

They have disabled access to the Red Button for Republic of Ireland viewers for at least the duration of the Olympics.

The feeds can be tuned in through Add Channels using the link above.

Having trouble adding these channels, my sky box wants "symbol rate(mbaud)" and "fec" that are not on that above site?

edit just noticed the problem is it wants me to use 23000sr but i can only choose from 22.0 or27.5

They are on the RHS - Symbol Rate 23.0, FEC 2/3

How did you sort it lads? I've no option for 23.00 symbol rate. Seem to have everything else in right though. Having no joy.

Have you a Sky HD box? to change to 23.0 is as easy as pressing the L/R arrows.

I'm assuming that your don't have HD, because thats what the 23.00 symbol rate is for.
In any case, this should work for you.

Yep just a standard box. That's worked a treat. Thanks a million!

Using a UK vpn gives you access to the BBC sport streams as well which is what im using, then just chrome cast it to the TV

Is there a red button schedule anywhere that lists Olympic 1 to 8 or whatever and what will be on each one and when?

Sorry should have stated that it's the BBC channels I'm talking about.
