I keep missing programs by not checking regular enough on fsvids.net (stands for Figure Skating Videos).

None as far as I know are available on Sky ,though the Eurosport ones might.

30th Dec 1500 CET (GMT+1) Channel France 3 (Think it's only free on the Atlantic Bird at 5 Degrees West). The program is the Courchevel Gala.

30th Dec 2000 CET Eurosport Germany (Free on the Astra Satellites at 19.2East) 2007 Oberstdorf Gala live.

Jan 1st 2235 CET Channel Italia Uno (Free on Hotbird 13 East) .Ice Gala, Bolzano, Italy

I'll add more as I find them.

Shame there isn't more coverage in this country.

Note if your searching for Atlantic Bird 3 you might find signals from Amos 1/2 at 4 West. The beam that covers Central Europe can still be received with my dish (1.7Metre) on 5 West even though signals are well down.

* Take in consideration that Australian Open final rounds will take place same week, so the late tennis sessions could extend their duration and affect the start times of many if not all of the skating broadcast

Times in the quote are CET (GMT+1)

But the UK Eurosport times vary slightly

Tuesday time for UK

1300 - 1615
2330 - 0100 DE = 2330 - 0130

Wednesday

1200 - 1630 DE = 1230 - 1630
2300 - 0100 DE = 2330 - 0100

Thursday

1200 - 1630 DE = 1230 - 1630
2300 - 0100 DE = 2330 - 0100

Friday

1115 - 1700
2330 - 0030 DE = 2330 - 0100

Saturday

1315 - 1600
2300 - 0030

Sunday

1400 - 1630

Hopefully all the numbers aren't too confusing. I'll set my timer for the longest session for each time slot and hope for the best.

It'll clash with DOI - Make me a Star so unless you are lucky enough to have two receivers to record both you'll have to flip a coin.

Larry I was blown away with the standard of skating....
Thank you for posting your links

Yes most of it was a very high standard.

Think the BBC was better for the evening coverage as it was widescreen and started around 90 minutes before Eurosport.
Robin Cousins (BBC) gave a more technical commentary than Nicky Slater (Eurosport).

It would be great to see more coverage on the BBC making it more accessible to the masses.

Eurosport is available free at 19.2E in Digital with German commentary though other sources are available using different methods and in a vast array of languages including English.

Eurosport is planning to go Widescreen later in the year according to Nicky and co.

Looking on the EPG at 1600 BST they list "Sport am Samstag" which I think translates to "Sport on Saturday" and it's a 1 hour program which matches the above schedule.

It carried day 1 signals and hopefully again for the remainder of the event.

The feeds back though the dish is being shook with the wind as the signal left jumping about from 68% down to below 45% so getting some break-up on the picture.
