Would be interesting to watch but hey im not paying 30 quid a month for it

Used to be able to use a Proxy to view the live feed - may still work - they'll be info in the motors archive forum.

A1GP is pretty much the only thing I have sky sports for - we got an offer that means it's cheaper for us to have sky movies and sports than just movies... :confused:

Just a slight shame about the extremely rubbish feed comming from America :mad:

. Flipping hate when we get a crappy quality feed simply because it's the American networks doing the camera work.

Tried an .nl proxy to view the feed, got past the country selection page only to find I have to pay 7 euros to watch

ROFL, hadn't heard that "description" before, though I was aware of the different image format

Damn - used to be free....
Got the first few race webcasts saved to my pc.

All the others are on the HTPC.

Got to love how with the American feeds - red is pink, orange is pink, focus is blurred.

Good old USA knows best.

Yeah and it's not because of the NTSC -> PAL conversion, even in the US the feed still looks naff. Surely someone's noticed :confused:

However, it's Laguna Seca so I'll let them off.

Ok just before I head off to the race, here are some pictures from yesterday. I took over 400 pictures yesterday, so here are a few of them:

Nice shots, at least you'll get to see the race.

Analouge is offline and there's 4 inches of snow on the sky dish.

Who the heck do you think I am, Roy Hull???

The dish is on the chimney of a 4 storey tenement block, it's about 75 feet off the ground and only accessible via a skylight onto the roof which cunningly also has 4 inches of snow on it....

However, if you're volunteering

Duke · 12 Mar 2006 at 09:56

LOL

Was wondering why you made a deal of a bit of snow on the dish.. I can more or less reach mine from leaning out the window \o/

Rod Hull - did he fall or was he pushed?

No TV - EEEP!!!

4" of snow though!! It's lovely here - no snow - reasonably warm outside....

Still - PVR is up and running. PLus there's a re-run later today.

Show is now ON!
