The Commonwealth Games
The BBC's Commonwealth Games coverage was built replicating the multistreaming application on DSat and took enhanced TV technology further than ever before.

Not only were users able to switch video streams and decide what they wanted to view from three alternative channels, they were also able to run VoD clips of the whole event.

Nineteen categories were covered and over 150 video clips were edited and encoded on site.

Users simply had to select the activity they wanted to watch.

Footage was archived from the first day of the games and our unique technology gave viewers the ability to pause, rewind and fast forward the footage to see the activity again and again.

BBC Sport provided viewers with the ultimate sporting package.

SOS Teacher
Remember when you couldn’t do your homework?

Ever wished there was someone to ask?

Well for three weeks in Hull KIT teenagers had that chance.

Ten teachers were gathered together and we set ourselves a challenge - ask us a question and we’ll answer it!

Not only that you could watch a teacher answering your question using video on demand within thirty minutes of asking the original question.

The teachers were experts in Science, Maths or English - they received questions from viewers who phoned, e-mailed or sent text messages.

It was a first - it won’t be our last.
