again I don;'t know why people have moaned so much about Sky's coverage- they're doing fine with it- and they stuck with it all night long as well- this would not have happened with NASN/ Setanta- as we well know they'd have pulled the plug at midnight regardless of what was going
so well done for Sky staying with it all night long- sadly my VCR can only record so much even on long play so my tape cut out way before the race ended
VCR? get with the times lol!
i went to bed at 1:30am last night and didn't get back from work till 6:45pm today so i missed a chunk of the middle of the race but i'm so happy Sky stuck with the live footage! thats one thing we would not have got with NASN. way to go Sky!
I echo the praise for Sky - well done.
PS: What's a VCR? :D
did anyone use sky+ to record the sunday portion of the race and how did it deal with the extension?
i've got a certain mistrust of how it handles overruns and so set anything after the scheduled finish time as a manual recording(ending at 04:00 which unfortunately wasn't sufficient but i was running out of space anyway)
was really impressed that sky changed the schedule on the fly on monday causing other programs to be cancelled to enable them to show the race live at 6pm. Good on sky for show ing me they mean business with Nascar and it's not going to be a minor priority for them
I suspect Keith Heuwan said "do you know how many emails we will get if we don't show it live!" :DQuote:

Gotta love skys commitment to getting us the the race live. thumbs up!!!
My Sky+ automatically records the NASCAR races using series link, so that's all good. But... left it to record the sunday portion of the race, and when I looked at the Sky box monday morning at 6.50, it was still recording. In fact it was still recording from 9pm on Sunday. Took up something like 33% of my HD space, so just deleted it.Quote:

Think we have this cracked - Sky for Cup, NASN for Nationwide, and TVU for Trucks.
BUT... Keith Hewhe (ok, it's a joke on his name) on Sky did hint there may be a clash with IRL timings during the season - so long as they show both close together, like one after the other, I will be happy for one.
Anyone else worried?
