Special functions

Some programme slots, e.g. Premiere (can only be viewed with a valid subscription!) offer certain special functions. For instance, multifeed channels allow you to view sports events transmitted from various locations (e.g. National League soc- cer), or you can select various sound channels (stadium/com- mentary), or you can select different camera perspectives at a particular event (e.g. Formula 1 racing).

Also, some channels allow you to select a starting time for particular films you may wish to view.
