I have to say I have never ever seen such a strong signal anywhere on the "Tandberg Alteria" I am using here. Well done Eutelsat and the International Broadcasting Centre team.

No sleep for the next two weeks as the Ice Hockey in this format will be just magic.

I surprised that UBC aren't showing it? I much prefer the Winter Olympics to the Summer games. Especially the skiing.
