Go to BBC1/2 and press red. Or there should be a link online. Looking forward to it already, will they be playing The Chain for the intro to practice I wonder?...

It could well appear in the top right corner where it says time remaining.

Practice is on freeview channel 302 according to one website

302 01.25-03.05 Practice 1
302 05.25-07.05 Practice 2

Just going to setup to record it ( if I can remember how - it's years since I used anything other then Sky+ )

If you have freeview/sky - its listed on the Programme guide now so you can set it to record. Channel 302 on freeview. Not sure whether to stay up or watch it first thingf in the morning before work....

Unless it has changed in the past few days, this is NOT available for recording on Sky+ unfortunately, the only way you could do it via Sky is press the red button before you went to bed then record the Sky box's output on a separate VCR / HDD recorder, you can't record BBC red button directly onto the Sky+ box.

Ive had to dig out my old Freeview tuner and power up the HDD recorder for the first time in about 2 years since I got Sky+
