All the celebrations etc have been on the red button for the past few seasons now. Unless you are there in front of your TV or have someone to do it for you then you will always miss out on that part of the TV coverage. Mind you they wouldn't do that with the football cup final but we as a sport are not important enough to warrant the coverage they get unfortunately. By the way well done on your win yesterday. The best team won and you have kept the cup on the right side of the pennines.

The point I was making was that the BBC will make allowances for motor-racing/football etc but even with their "pride in their cup coverage" they cant even be bothered to scheduel in time for the celebrations on the mainstream channels.

Is there any way of seeing the red butten part now. Will it be on iplayer

I can't stand the Beeb, you can watch the whole thing online in iPlayer (I am right now), but you can't get it on iPlayer through the TV, so I can't tape it.

Perhaps the solution would be to move the date of the CC Final back to it's original time in the year to avoid the clash with the football season etc. It was the choice of the BBC to move the game and the RFL agreed to it unfortunately.

I don't own a Wii, and that idea doesn't let you record, does it, unless I'm missing something. I could watch it on PS3 though. Just a shame I can't record it!

Couple of solutions for you all.


SKY+. No BBC I player. so if you didn't . record on your hard drive. Thats it UNLESS...

Virgin Media. If it is there this morning. The BBC I player will be able too record onto cd or video.

Nintendo Wii and PS3. If it is on the i player. switch the leads over too your scart and record from there.

In your sky box settings you can set the box to start recording upto 10 mins before the start of a cheduled programme and to end upto 10 mins after the programme is scheduled to finish. Its in the options or settings tab along the top.

Ive just checked mine, its fine and fits the full programme in from start to finish.

Obviously i don't have the red button interviews with being at the game.

How can you record the PS3? Seems like the only option since it's not available on the TV iPlayer but it is online. Strange.

The iPlayer version has up until Mozza gives his son(?) back after they lifted the cup then it goes onto the Red Button from there.

I bought a sony dvd recorder with freeview and a hard drive (about £200)

I recorded the final and I can watch game from hard drive or copy to dvd and watch elsewhere

don't have sky so not sure if it'll copy from there.
