I've decided after a quick look at the scheduling that EUROSPORT will be my broadcast partner for this years UK champs. For starters they have blanket coverage on the opening weekend, starting at 11am - Eurosport 2.

11am
John Higgins v Rory McLeod
Ding Junhui v Mark Davis
NB 2pm
Neil Robertson v Tom Ford
Graeme Dott v Matthew Selt
7pm
Stephen Maguire v Stephen Hendry
Matthew Stevens v Marcus Campbell
These are the choice matches for me. I usually chose a stick with one table all day strategy at the BBC events, but I might risk the Ding match finishing before the McLeod match. Mainly because a woman could get impregnated and give birth in the time it takes McLeod to play a match.

On my tv I have a 7 day forward planner, and so each week I can programme which shows to watch or record in advance. On Saturday I can see a BIG chunk on Eurosport from 11am, the same on Sunday.
Not sure BBC is offering the same unless it is on the Red button, either way I would like to escape the rubbish from Taylor and bum licker Virgo so its Eurosport for me

I am tempted to agree with you match choices there
Its funny that GJs two main players are playing at the same time, but thats life.

You can count the amount of times the commentators on Eurosport think the cross-double is the correct shot.

I don't mind a bit of Hazel Irvine action, I think she adds something to the product.
Rishi Persaud can buck off though.

I think I'll stick with the BBC's coverage, but tape all of the matches which are on the other table on Eurosport. Mosconi Cup is on halfway through so will be a feast of snooker and pool over the next couple of weeks!

How far can Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry go in this tournament?
Is there any chance of either of them getting past the first round?

if Hendry plays as good as yesterday, and Maguire plays "as good" as he's been playing this season, I say Hendry can win this match
Steve Davis: it all depends on Ronnie's head!
