I don't know about V+ but with Sky+ you can manually set it to record a chanel between times x and Y instead of relying on the EPG. I always do this for sporting events that are likely to run over. It is a pain to find on sky+ but when you do its worth it.Quote:

At the start of the season I never envisioned people calling for Keith to return to the show.
It was true they didnt cut back to the US feed quite as well the other night. It was annoying when they were there trying to work out what the problem was with the 18 when all they had to was go back to the FOX guys.
Somehow I think I'll stick with Five/Five US, as an hour (give or take) of guaranteed highlights seems to be better than heads-it's-on, tails-it-isn't on the stallactites... :s
By the way, I am loving the new "somebody's just overtaken" element of the leaderboard ticker as introduced last week. I notice they didn't try it out at Talladega... :D
I set the next couple of programs after nascar just in case of delays.Or you could set a manual record to start and finish when you wish.Quote:

I agree with you about the sky coverage,we need the pre race show.
How you coping without the v8's at rockingham?It already seems like a distant memory,such a shame.
Connor is also now a die-hard Junior fan!!! I like Montoya, Franchitti & Harvick too!! (yep i have bad taste!!!)Quote:

What on earth are those god-awful sound effects Sky is using when they are chatting in the UK studio while screening pictures of the race during US ad breaks?
Sound like some old stock cars (bangers) from Arena Essex.
Surely they have recorded enough real NASCAR engine sounds by now - unless it's some sort of dumb copyright thing.
Silence would be better :eek:
It's not the sound effects that are bothering me. It's the God Awful Kyle Petty.
Jeez, silence would be better than him prattling on. Is he actually bringing anything to the table? Apart from experience of running at the back? :o hplease:
