Weird - lot of resentment seems to have boiled up again, which is a shame. I rather like the Sky coverage, in that I get to see the races. Yes, the London guys know little, but at least we don;'t have to watch them in the studio anymore during the US ad breaks, which really was crazy.
And on NASN - yes, I see this weekend may have had a live race - not watched it yet, but it has been recorded on the V+ So that's double goodness in my humble.
:D
I enjoy the Sky Coverage - the presenters, whilst perhaps not the most knowledgeable, seem keen to learn and they do a good job in filling in the gaps when the Americans are on their ad breaks. I feel like I'm learning about NASCAR with them as I only started watching this year when they won the TV rights.
For what is essentially a Football and Darts network Sky do a good job with motorsport - there are a few replays in the days following a race if you were unlucky enough to miss the live event and I think that they're a safe bet to show a race that has been rain delayed.
Nothing to complain about from my perspective!
There isn't much to really, really complain about on Sky.
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NASN did it again - I recorded the Gateway race on V+ and lost the last four laps. I know someone here suggested I recorded the show right after, but this was on 'record series' and like a dope forgot to check when it was breing broadcaast, but even so - four laps.
BUT BUT BUT ---- the highlight show missed the last 24 laps !!!! TWENTY FOUR LAPS MISSING FROM A HIGHLIGHT SHOW. Went straught on to something from Petty Enterprises, showing one of the pundits round the facility.
PLUS, who at whoever made the show thought about sending that towering guy (sorry, can't remember his name) out to chat to The King, who is three feet tall (who knew?) The tall guy couldn't even had to duck to get through doors.
Anyway, bad dog NASN.
:eek:
Who finished where , know jj won , cousin carl 2nd and Hamlin 3rd who came in what order after that , what did Carl and Denny say in post race interviews , whos still in the chase.Dont care what any one thinks , its wrong sky should show this after each race end of story .If you follow Nascar like some of us do and didnt just get it this year do you all miss the pranks and antics of the pre and post race shows.Nascar .com is a life saver.
Looks like NASN's run of Live races has come to an end, for the time being at least. Their priority is Baseball which is understanable so the next two races are 'As Live' and will probably suffer should the MLB games overrun.
Bit annoying but I will watch Montreal online and hide from the Watkins Glen results and watch the later run. Hopefully once the baseball season is over NASN will go back to showing Live races.
College football season is about to start, though. But that's on Saturdays, so maybe it won't regularly clash...Quote:

Surely it is not beyong the realms of man to send a signal with the broadcast telling the machine when the show has ended rather than it simply guessing.
I'm not so sure how Virgin works but if they have an EPG which I'll assume they do they could extend the programs scheduled finish time maybe? I've noticed sky do this.
