Wolfbridge · 24-05-2008, 19:03

youve gotta be kiddin me.......................... there´s 2.0 behind audio description on the sky box

wheres 5.1 ?

WillowFae · 24-05-2008, 19:04

I'd quite like them to actually play some music! We appear to only have the vocal track at the moment. I'm back to BBC1.

davegould · 24-05-2008, 19:05

Same for me.
Have to watch BBC1 til it's fixed, but that's probably unlikely.

sean123uk · 24-05-2008, 19:05

Well done BBC

cjgpers · 24-05-2008, 19:05

What a mess. Come on BBC, get this sorted QUICKLY. A song contest with no music is stupid.

raggets · 24-05-2008, 19:05

What sound? I've got none.

marcyuk · 24-05-2008, 19:05

only getting vocal audio here

Yeah, one minute no sound, the next minute extremely low poor sound.

Same for people on cable, but they take the satellite feed.

mikemod · 24-05-2008, 19:07

Centre channel only here too according to my amp..

lennyzero · 24-05-2008, 19:07

Well, this makes BBC HD look like a great option for the Eurovision final

Was looking forward to it in HD

matthewhotdude · 24-05-2008, 19:07

yea have had to resort to bbc1, As no music on HD just Vocal

Paul555 · 24-05-2008, 19:07

Yes, this is totally pathetic. The announcer described this as one of the events of the year. So the choice, great picture or no (or little) sound or crap picture but sound.

Brilliant

Laggy · 24-05-2008, 19:08

Same here. I thought the butch looking women singing without any music or crowd reaction was a little strange!

Thats an option

Laggy · 24-05-2008, 19:09

Just a quick workaround.. Turn Audio Description On whilst watching BBC HD.

Thank you so much for this quick fix notice. This is not good for BBC HD.

Regards,

kingdavera · 24-05-2008, 19:11

BBC HD strikes again!

My guess, however, is that it's wrong at source.

Oddly, having just switched the the AD audio, I've noticed how badly out of tune the Romanian pair are singing. Obviously they can't hear the music either!

djk-uk · 24-05-2008, 19:12

audio des work round works great, stupid bbc. i've also placed a bet on france to win!! I love Seb Tellier

Thanks so much for that tip. What a mess!!

Marky · 24-05-2008, 19:14

i've called the BBC and let them know, they said that no one had complained, so maybe call them on 08700 100 222... however the audio description channel has worked perfect for me too!

carpet · 24-05-2008, 19:16

How do you do the work around ??
