You should find it this afternoon after 1. At least that was what my sleepy brain heard earlier this morning.
Incidentally when I went through all 20 channels yesterday, there was various cricket matches and a couple of rugby games on, both league and union I believe.

Hi PaulI'm not a cricket person, so finding the tennis would make me a very happy bunny as Five Live's coverage on the whole of other tournaments apart from Wimbledon is feeble to say the least.Kind Regards, Jackie Cairns J&M Work-Ability jandm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.work-ability.co.uk -----Original Message-----From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paul BensonSent: 29 May 2011 19:20 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxSubject: [access-uk] Re: BBC Sporting Events Streaming On Sonata, Presently CricketHi Jackie,I have only used live streaming for cricket on the BBC site. Since there are 20 streams presently, and with the exception of a knock-out first round tournament, where minor counties are included, the 20 are twice the amount needed for cricket streams.I would be surprised if other sports did not receive similar coverage from time to time. I had a little search on the BBC site, but if there is a page, simply listing all the Events being streamed at that point in time, I failed to find it. Perhhaps the thought that anyone would wish to surf their Events Streams is just too peculiar for them to contemplate.On the other hand, it is such a massive site, I could have easily missed the needle in the haystack. There could even be a calendar for the week or further, so we do not have to take pot-luck as to when to switch on and search.If such a page exists, and someone on this list finds it, please circulate it's address.Paul Benson. -----Original Message-----From: Jackie Cairns - Email Address: jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent On: 29/05/2011 08:10 Sent To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Email Address: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: BBC Sporting Events Streaming On Sonata, Presently CricketHi PaulThank you for posting this info. I will have a look on the site now I know you have to add it yourself. Adding and removing stations is easy. I have a username and password set up with Luke so I can do this myself. If any streams don't work, or I want something added that isn't there, Luke is really obliging. Personally, I think it is a great service and worth the subscription of £25 per year for its maintenance.Tell me though, does this extra menu cover all sporting events broadcast by the BBC, or does it relate only to cricket?Kind Regards, Jackie Cairns J&M Work-Ability jandm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.work-ability.co.uk -----Original Message-----From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paul BensonSent: 28 May 2011 16:02 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxSubject: [access-uk] Re: BBC Sporting Events Streaming On Sonata, Presently CricketHi Jackie,Apologies, I have just re-read my email, and did not express myself precisely. TheBBC Events Streams (Sports)Is not part of the standard issue radio lists, it is however available as an extra menu, which can be added upon request to your radio stations menu, as are so many, many more.So, phone on Monday and Luke will add it to your list in a few seconds. Of course, it might be possible to do so on the web site yourself, providing you are set up to do so. I have looked at the site a few times, but have not yet tried to add anything myself, usual fear of fouling it up totally.The idea came about when I had asked for the recent Roses cricket match to be placed on my stream, and when the match was over, to have that stream removed. I asked if all 20 could be placed under one selection in the menu, so I did not have to continually take up his time by adding and removing a single stream as the days go by. Luke said he would think of the best way to do it, and he has.Paul Benson. -----Original Message-----From: Jackie Cairns - Email Address: jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent On: 28/05/2011 15:03 Sent To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Email Address: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: BBC Sporting Events Streaming On Sonata, Presently CricketHi PaulGreat idea if I could find it? I have no menu you describe within the Radio Stations section on my unit, so do you need to have it added?Intrigued.

It is called: BBC Events Streaming and is classified as Sports.This is the title of the menu, and once selected, gives you the options of all 20 BBC live events coverage.It is not possible to tell what is on each stream. One has to go through them all, about 5 seconds per selection, less than 2 minutes in all, to work out which streams are live. The BBC are continually changing what is streamed on which stream, so just going through them is the only way. It will of course, take a short while, to determine if the commentary is that of the event you want. Once a particular sports event is allocated a stream, that event should always stay on that stream number until it is concluded, which in the case of County cricket, is 4 days.Once the menu is opened up, the male voice will announce the streams one by one. Upon selecting, say stream 1, there will be 3 responses.1. The Sonata will beep about twice, and if the stream is live, start streaming.2. You will hear a recorded message from the BBC. This means the stream is open, but the sporting event is suspended for some reason, in the case of cricket, rain or bad light. Commentary may start again later in the day.3. If the stream is closed, the beeps will continue. After about 5 beeps, just move along the menu to the next station and select O.K..At presently, all streams are for County cricket. I do not think the Test matches are included, I think that is broadcast on Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, so no need to appear here. What will be streamed once the cricket season closes, and the football begins, will be interesting to observe. Who knows what the BBC have in mind for the 2012 Olympics, with respect to using these streams, as a possible supplement to the Radio 5 live broadcasts.Lastly, after having moved from one stream to another while searching for your particular broadcast, do not let the beeps run out, you get about 10 beeps to decide to select, or move along the menu. If you let the beeps run out, it appears you have to switch off the Sonata and start from the beginning again.Paul Benson.N‰^j÷…éb²×%‰É(žØ^Šižv&z\Ÿ¢YhÂ)à-)䙨¥¶†œqë,ºJު笵úÞzX¬¶Ê+‚Ë›ç-éì¹» ®&Þ!ûaŠÉbžGhzÉíŠ䶧±éÝjg¬±¨ ¶†œqë,ºJު笵úÞzX¬¶Ê+©ÝŠ{ay+›ç--)Þ·*^º{.nÇ+‰·…¢º-…êåŠË\¢išÛ,¹ÈZ²öœjبžj yÉbrJ'¶¢šg‰«^-'è-Z0Šx%Šy&j)m¡§ zË.'·ª¹ë-~·ž-+-²Šà²æãyË}ª®Çu©²ÆzÚqDzéz«²×yé²Û®¶y+ç ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
