In Europe the games are transmitted live of the BBC via satellite Astra 2B position 28.2°East digital and free to air in 16:9 image format.
Here some technical data to receive via satellite:
freq.: 12441 vertikal / transponder 38 / format: DVB-S / symbol rate: 27500 2/3
A new scan in your satellite receiver will find the programs Stream-0 to Stream-6. Maybe the program type from data must be changed to TV because this are the special BBC interactive channels.
Information to receive via satellite can be found at Lyngsat:

I wish the Australian Team to have good success!
