Al Jazeera To Broadcast WSBK In the USA?!

over on the Buell board someone discovered that you have to be careful & specific with TiVo & DVR season settings:

"SBK racing" isn't the same as "M/C Racing", for instance

Right that's why we selected the actual time slot, and it said "Motorcycle Racing". We were also excited about it's 5 hour block.

Did it not recored anything?

On my Dish, the BeIn Channel changed from Ch. 408 to Ch. 392. Which channel did you set to record?

Yeah me too - I bet they changed the name and then the event didn't exist. Actually happy to hear it, I was wondering if my DVR was wonky. Sounds like we experienced exactly the same thing.

392, and nothing recorded. I should complain, there is no other reason to have "paid TV".

The standard def looked pretty good on my Plasma; I'll give up the HD in exchange for no commercials! :thumbup

I agree 100%. HD would be nice, but not having to listen to some of the idiotic American announcers before they "send it back to the world feed" is great. Combine that with no commercials, and throw in a bunch of pre- and post-race coverage and I'm in heaven. (Yes, I know that SBK didn't usually have American announcers messing it up like GP does. Something about which I've been quite pleased over the years.)

Need to figure out how to rip the beIN feed and upload it to the torrent sites.
