Well its that time of the year again. Eurovision has rolled around again and our satellites are carrying literally dozens of channels carrying the festival of euro harmony. Plus at least 38 feeds for the satellite uplinks for the voting. Heres a list of the channels Ive spotted during a fast zap through 19E / 13E / 5E & 16E (plus 28E for the BBC of course). BBC 1 UK TVE 1 & TVE Intl Spain RTPi Portugal TRT International Turkey MKTV Sat Macedonia RTS Sat Serbia ARD Dat Erst Germany TVR1 & TVRi Romania ERT Sat Greece Slovenia 1 Bulgaria TV Armenia 1 SF1, TSR1 & TSI1 Switzerland TV Polonia Poland ORF1 Austria TVSH Sat Albania France 3 SVT Europa | ||

| Congratulations to Finland, well deserved I am certain next year will be populated by renditions similar to Lordi, but it does bring the show into the 21st century, about time. This should be in the Sci Fi forum though, judging by the costumes.  | ||

I have to say that I quite enjoy watching it, if only for the predictable geopolitical voting.  | |||

My System: Sky+ Multiroom,Thompson PVR, Dreambox 7000S, 300gig HDD, 1.1m Dish, Moteck SG-2100A DISEQC Motor, Gemini image, 2g USB Stick.  A defender of the Remote Control Brigade, Sir R can flick channels faster than a Robben dive | the voting need re thinking, in my opinion.... keeping the names of the performances secret and letting them perform under the stage name only would be better then they wouldnt know what country they was voting for... would add some suspense to the finale too any names leaked would mean that country would have to change the act!!! that would stop all this "oh i only vote for my neighbour" personally i thought sweden was the best act... | ||

There are now enough Balkan countries that blockvote for their neighbours. And the same for the old Soviet Bloc countries. | ||

We had a very good strike rate for guessing who would get the douze punts from each country  | ||
