A question that\u2019s popped up on twitter a few times is how people can watch the Junior Eurovision Song Contest this weekend. Eagle eyed viewers in the UK will have spotted that when the show starts (1915 or 2015 CET) the BBC are showing Strictly Come Dancing<\/em> while ITV have Harry Hill<\/em> and The X-Factor<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If you live in one of the countries entering the Contest, then you will be getting live to air coverage of the concert (except for Sweden who are showing it on Sunday morning\u2026 I can only assume they are using a Tardis to count the SMS votes). So what can everyone else do?<\/p>\n

Well, use the official live stream!<\/strong> Head over to the Junior Eurovision website<\/a> and you\u2019ll spot the Mediaplayer option<\/a>. Click here and you\u2018ll get the streaming media player. It will carry the concert live on the night \u2013 until then it\u2019s broadcasting backstage footage or you can choose to watch archived shows from previous years.<\/p>\n

As you\u2019ll need the Octoshape P2P plug-in, I\u2019d advise checking out an archived show to make sure everything is in place and set up before Saturday night.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also spot a Twitter tab on the right of the player \u2013 so if you wish you can post to your Twitter account while watching the show \u2013 a nice touch from the @EurovisionTeam<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Personally I\u2019ll be using a second computer; using one computer to stream and a second to run a number of Twitter clients and search pages so I can run my own unique style of tweet-coverage and field all your questions. If you want to follow me, I\u2019m @Ewan<\/strong><\/a> on Twitter<\/strong> and I\u2019ll be using <\/strong>#jesc<\/strong><\/a> as the hash-tag<\/strong> (#junioreurovision<\/a> is a bit much to type!).<\/p>\n
