Use this thread to post the channels with FTA coverage

I'll start with Astra 28.2E, ITV and BBC

Its worth pointing out that whilst BBC & ITV are on Astra 2D and therefore out of range for many folks, the BBC interactive streams may well be in use, and they are on the other sats.

(For anyone out of range but with a subs you might want to check out UKTV G2 ;))

At least one of the first round games is being shown on RTL.

The ZDF web site has a pdf file which shows full time table of TV coverage shared between ZDF, ARD and RTL

What about hispasat ? Does anybody know which FTA channels - if any ! - will broadcast the games ?

BBC HDTV for starters.

Do you have the channel details for BBC HDTV?

Is it this one or is there a "proper" one now?

Amongst the many match tables the attached is my favourite. You enter the scores on screen and it updates the points tables.

It's an Excel file and attractively designed with all the official logos and background pics.

Nice one, just downloaded it and added the xls extension to the upload file types. Let's see how long it takes for someone to find it useful for uploading keys. ;)

Looks like from this thread: http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=67544
that they might not be broadcasting the matches on Hotbird, which matches what LJ's site is saying.
