It sucks that the first five races are highlights :mad: . I do not have freeview and will not buy a freeview box just for for five BTCC meetings.

lol, why not get Freeview? IIRC it only costs about £40 for a box, no subscription. Plus if you have a modern TV, you'll get it inbuilt anyway.
clocks ticking. what're you going to do when they switch off the analogue signal in your area?Quote:

I'll have to keep an eye out for the highlights on Motorsport UK instead.
Well done to Alan for getting the BTCC raceday live on TV somewhere. After Motors TV dumped it, I was not confident of seeing it anywhere else.
We should all really support Setanta, in subscribing and letting them know why we are subscribing. And you never know, seeing whole races live might get you into Nascar too. Nascar highlights are never very easy to follow.
You can get them for as little as £20 without looking too hard now!Quote:

I see Alan Gow has commented on btcc.net forum concerning the ITV coverage, only race 3 will be live, the other two will be highlights, that's the same for whichever one of the channels that shows the race. Seems like if you want to see all three races live you will need to go to Setanta.
I find the division between the ITV channels as described rather confusing.

Then again, ITV are axing ITV Play this week and that will get replaced by another new ITV channel so who knows!Quote:
