I'd quite like them to actually play some music! We appear to only have the vocal track at the moment. I'm back to BBC1.

Same for me.
Have to watch BBC1 til it's fixed, but that's probably unlikely.

What a mess. Come on BBC, get this sorted QUICKLY. A song contest with no music is stupid.

Yeah, one minute no sound, the next minute extremely low poor sound.

Same for people on cable, but they take the satellite feed.

Well, this makes BBC HD look like a great option for the Eurovision final

Was looking forward to it in HD

Yes, this is totally pathetic. The announcer described this as one of the events of the year. So the choice, great picture or no (or little) sound or crap picture but sound.

Brilliant

Same here. I thought the butch looking women singing without any music or crowd reaction was a little strange!

Just a quick workaround.. Turn Audio Description On whilst watching BBC HD.

Thank you so much for this quick fix notice. This is not good for BBC HD.

BBC HD strikes again!

My guess, however, is that it's wrong at source.

Oddly, having just switched the the AD audio, I've noticed how badly out of tune the Romanian pair are singing. Obviously they can't hear the music either!

i've called the BBC and let them know, they said that no one had complained, so maybe call them on 08700 100 222... however the audio description channel has worked perfect for me too!
