BTCC, F1, Moto GP and Bathurst all over the same weekend......

 

I don't think I am going to leave the house until Monday!

 

Not to mention WTCC Shanghai, WEC Fuji, and GP2 - Brit Jolyon Palmer is fastest in practice at Sochi (and leading the championship).

That's the best bit.. its all free!!

 

I am going to be so un-popular with the Mrs this weekend and I really don't care. :devil:

 

Only a few weeks left and then we enter the dark pretty much motorsport-less winter months.... :rain:  :rain:

 

Apart from Formula E which looks promising, I really enjoyed the first race.

Yeah, Formula E surprising good. Nic Prost was a total nobber at the last corner though.

Will have to look for this when I get home.

This may not be working country wide.

 

It seems there is also a problem on some SD Freeview receivers.

Just read a Motors TV advert on the back of AutoSport mag - mentions Freeview HD and Youview only.

Tried re-tuning again last night and...   no joy!  :envy:

Me neither.  And I can see the COM7 transmitter mast from my landing window!!

retuned my humax freeview hd box got it on 71!! happy days.

Whoever shared this information is a bad person. I am wasting too much time in the evenings now watching this. SWMBO is not a happy camper.

Unlucky for me, its not available on the relay transmitter that serves Blandford and the surrounding area. We only get limited freeview, and until the digital switchover completed in 2012 was analogue only.

Needs a freeview hd box so it's a no from me as well.

Hadn't heard anything about this, but came across it by accident on Saturday, just in time for Bathurst! Was well chuffed. :rofl:

Doesn't work on my HD TV :(

All I have is a screen with the message:

 

Congratulations! You've found Motors TV: the home of live 

international motor sport.

 

Sorry, your device is not compatible with this service.

 

Follow @MotorsTV for more info.

 

I take it that @MotorsTV is a Tw0tter or Faecesbook thing then?

HDTV needs Freeview HD tuner also - they are not the same.

Is that ch240 or ch71?

240, nothing on channel 71.

  • 2 weeks later...

Changed the TV yesterday for a Samsung 32H6400 Smart TV and after a couple of firmware updates to cure some sound syncing issues, I can watch Motors TV. Good job I have a seriously quick (for non cable) internet connection as I think it's going to get a pounding.

 

Shame about the crap Humax HDR-2000 PVR which I wanted so I could record multiple channels, turning itself into a brick.
