    The rte player seemed to broadcasting several of the football matches simultaneouly last night. They may expand on that service?

    When I was checking it out the weekend it looked to me that it was being shown live but taking a 15/20 minute break for the news and going back to it again ?

    If you have satellite BBC have 24 new dedicated Olympic stations. You may have to retune your satellite box to get them. They will be showing the cycling on BBC Olympic 3.

    According to Entertainment.ie, Eurosport1 will have live cycling from 14.15 tomorrow. The race kicks off at 10am, so would that mean the last lap or two of box hill and the run to the finish?

    From what I can gather:

    RTÉ:
    RTÉ Two, 9:30 - 16:00
    Intermittent coverage of the road race, along with other events.

    Eurosport:
    14:15 - 16:00
    Live coverage of the road race.

    BBC:
    looks like they are showing the start of the race and the conclusion. It's hard to predict how much they will show. There should be uninterrupted coverage on the red button if you have access to that.

    Anyone know what American free view channels might be showing the Olympics?? Specifically the road race? I'm away the weekend but I don't wanna miss the race.

    Can't access live RTE outside Ireland.
