BBC showing Beijing Olympics in high definition on freesat and Sky HD
We already know that the 2008 Beijing Olympics will be the first Games to be broadcast in high definition, and the BBC will be showing extensive highlights via the BBC HD channel.
Commenting on the Olympics being broadcast in high definition on BBC HD channel, Emma Scott, MD of freesat said, "The Olympics is the ultimate global sporting event, and viewers will be astounded by the quality of the BBC's HD footage; every drop of water falling off the oars of a rower to the sand erupting from the long jump pit will be beautifully clear. At freesat, we're committed to bringing brilliant HD programming to as many UK viewers as possible, for free. The scope of BBC's HD coverage of the Beijing Olympics is testament to the exciting future of HD broadcasting in this country."
Coverage is also available via the Sky HD satellite service.
