I will quote ad verbum the article in this weeks TV Guide.
There will be a new Freeview channel covering a simulcast of red button content in high definition.That means your Freeview HD options for the games will span three channels BBC1 BBCHD and this new channel.You will find listings details in Radio Times.
As previously reported the BBC is launching 24 new channels for Olympics coverage-Freeview doesnt have anything like the capacity to carry them,but other digital TV platforms do:Freesat,Sky and Virgin have signed up for them.
Olympic coverage on British Television
Re: Olympic coverage on British Television
Each of the 24 channels will cover just one sport so Boxing will receive full coverage.I dont know if every bout will be shown but it seems likely.
The 24 extra streams will be available online meaning that,in total,2500 hours of Olympic sport will be shown.
The opening and closing ceremonies will be shown in 3D on BBC as will the mens 100 Metres final.
Eurosport 3D launches on 27 July and show 8 hours of mixed sports LIVE and 4 hours of highlights everyday.
BBC1 and BBC3 will be dedicated to sport entirely except for news broadcasts.Regular programmes will switch to BBC2.
