NEWS: BBC's Wimbledon goes HD and online

The BBC is making the most of its HD trial service for the annual Wimbledon tennis championships - it will be carrying the whole of its coverage in HD. And if you're away from your flatscreen, you can even watch live coverage on your computer.

The annual tennisfest, which kicks off on June 25, will feature the usual team of commentators, including Boris Becker and John McEnroe, who will be joined this year by Martina Navratilova and Greg Rusedski.

But the real treat for HD TV viewers is that the BBC says that "Wimbledon will be broadcast in High Definition (HD) for the entire two weeks of the tournament. There will be 12 hours of coverage per day with the best in live play and highlights from Centre and No.1 Courts from 12.55pm to 1.00am.

"HD coverage will be available on the trial BBC HD Channel to digital satellite and cable viewers who have HD set-top boxes and televisions."
