I think eurosport could do with a red button service loke the bbc. take for instance the welsh open that has just past, eurosport is guaranteed to be showing a match that your not really bothered about, and its the other match you want to see so a red button service for eurosport would be great

That'd be excellent, but I don't see it happening on Eurosport unfortunately. The budget is too tight. And I don't think Sky is interested enough to have proper ranking events on.

Pity though, because you're right. The amount of times Eurosport makes what I feel is the incorrect decision about match selection, and I am sure others feel this way too.
