For
the first time ever, Digital Cable viewers through NTL and Telewest
will have access to additional multistream video footage 聳
bringing even more top quality football footage through their set-top
box, direct from Japan and Korea.

Telewest
大象传媒i
is hoping to offer the following multistream services to Telewest
viewers, importantly, the multistream service for Telewest customers
is currently subject to confirmation of the required technical standard
on the platform to enable the additional video streams.
During
live matches...
Telewest
subscribers should press the Red key on their remote control at
any time during the live match to enter the interactive service
聳 a "press red" icon will appear on screen for a
few seconds after the viewer tunes in to the 大象传媒 Sport coverage.
By
pressing the red key, a menu bar appears across the top of the screen
offering four video options linked to the colour fasttext keys on
the remote control.
These
are the live match, two highlights streams and extra, plus audio
options for three choices of commentary. To return to the live match
at any point or cancel their interactive request, viewers should
press the back key at any time. The zero key, allows the viewer
to hide the on-screen interactive options.

The Red menu key offers alternative Audio streams from the 大象传媒's
world-renowned commentary pundits; choose 大象传媒 Radio Five Live commentators,
or select "No Commentary" to get a real feel for the terrace
atmosphere with stadium sound. Press the arrow keys to scroll between
the audio options and make a selection.
路 The Green key shows picture-in-picture Highlights from
the current match which allow you to catch up if you come in late
or see that goal mouth drama again, alongside a window which allows
the viewer to keep pace with the live game. To switch the size of
the video windows, press the OK key.
路 The Blue key presents a Help menu with information on how
to use the colour keys to move between the video screens, how to
change the audio and how to go back again.
路 The Yellow key takes you through to Extra with either live
footage from another group match or Analysis with a unique "behind
the goal" high-level view of the game for a tactical look at
how play is developing.
Analysis
Press
the Yellow key to reveal two video screens side by side, showing
the live match and "behind the goal" high-level pictures
of the pitch, for a coach's-eye view of how the game unfolds tactically,
including team formation and movement of players.
Fans
can send in their own expert opinion by email or SMS which will
appear live on screen, and we'll be asking specific talking point
questions throughout the game such as "whether Eriksson's 4-4-2
formation is working for England".
For
a thinking fan's look at which players and teams will make a difference
this summer, Analysis is ideal.
