BBC Wimbledon Interactive guide

Viewers access their chosen match via the Multiscreen

BBC Wimbledon Interactive will serve viewers with an unprecedented choice of action from this year's tournament.

Terrestrial TV viewers can, as ever, enjoy comprehensive BBC coverage of Wimbledon, hosted by Sue Barker and John Inverdale.

But Digital Satellite (Sky) TV users have access to a new BBC Wimbledon Interactive service.

It allows DSat viewers to select the match they want to watch from a choice of up to five live contests at any time via a Multiscreen devised by BBC New Media.

Accessing the service is straightforward.

While watching coverage on digital BBC ONE or TWO, viewers are prompted to press the red button on their handset.

This takes them through to the BBC Wimbledon Interactive Multiscreen.

In addition to the live match broadcast on the main channel, viewers will have access to a further four live matches.

Dynamically updated

DSat viewers can select one of the five matches to watch on full screen by using the 'Up' and 'Down' arrow keys followed by 'Select'.

Or they can remain in the Multiscreen to watch all five matches at the same time.

Live commentary accompanies each match, and each screen has its own dynamically updated scoreboard.

Barker and Inverdale front the BBC's coverage

Digital Terrestrial (ONdigital) viewers can access the BBC Wimbledon Interactive enhanced text service.

The service, which won a BAFTA Interactive award last year, returns with a sleek new look and a range of updating reports.

It features statistic, features, comments and player profiles to keep viewers abreast of the latest news from the Championships.

Viewers have access to this information while still watching the live action unfold in quarter-screen.

DTerr viewers access the service by pressing the red key on their handset while watching digital BBC ONE, BBC TWO, BBC CHOICE, and BBC NEWS 24.
