7Plus is definitely the best way to enjoy the Games, especially with all the best events happening while we’re sleeping. I just wish it was 4k.
Apparently ‘Small Axe’=small ratings…also looks like ‘Hunted’ is losing it’s shine.
Covering events such as the Comm games when they are such an unfriendly time difference can’t be easy but the Seven+ apps seems to have been improved greatly since the Olympics.
However it would be great if the had a rolling news/highlight package so that all the sports are covered in one spot – similar to Fox Sports News on ch 500.
As the saying goes “Make hay why the sunshine’s” :-)
Or even “Make hay while the sun shines”.
