    Why can’t radio Sheffield play football commentary on the internet?
    Says contractual reasons when you link to it.
    Currently BBC radio London have the Sheffield Utd commentary on the internet and Sheffield not. ??

    Not that I am interested, just checking what game is on.

    BBC London bought the online rights individually from the club's, radio Sheffield won't pay for it basically.

    While there is mention of the BBC, does everyone have to change HD channel to watch Look North on non-HD, otherwise you get a red screen with be-bop dancers silhouetted?

    Or is there a simple HD way around this that once again i've missed?

    No they've not individually converted regions to HD yet. Drives me barmy. Looks terrible on a big 4k TV...

    Should have told him it changes to hd automatically for everyone else and had him forever wondering why he can't get it to work.

    Harry Gration probably looks better a bit fuzzy. It'd be nice to see Keeley Donovan in all her glory.

    But the BBC are all over the world like a rash, into serving minority interests here and there, sending hundreds to sports events and festivals, yet we can't watch a decent tv picture when they put the local news on.

    I read that as Harry Gyration. :D
    Must have been your earlier comment about be-bop dancers that did it!
