I doubt they have even noticed they have tbh! They failed to noticed that they hadnt added any commentary to the first running of the WRC highlights last Saturday...

It pees me off had badly they show the coverage of the V8 supercars, do they let there kids organise it ?
Often I sky+ & find it something completely different or miss the few laps
But this season has been the worst by far, end on utube watching it, not want I want

Perhaps its time we all made a comment to them on their contacts (if it works) and let them know we will boycott unless they actually sort themselves out?!?!

I've given up with MotorsTV now, easy enough to find torrents in HD straight after the races have happened now. Better quality and much quicker to catch it.

They've done it again! Had the recording set for this morning and now it's disappeared and been replaced by something else. Searched the next 7 days for V8 and there's nothing. What a joke!

I think it is about time we started making a few complaints. Il send something when I can think of some thing more constructive than "you useless *bleep* why cant you *bleep*ing" etc etc wink

It's really annoying. I know you can access them online, but I'd rather watch them on my TV than sitting in front of a computer hoping my crappy rural broadband connection can keep up!

I was jumping around the room I was that excited on the last lap being a *** supporter and hating ***. (Trying to not give away spoilers to you poor chaps in the UK)

Anyone have a link to the Hamilton full race re-run. Can only find short highlight clips on the V8SC website.

It seems to have gone from motors tv?? Do we think they have lost rights to show it?

Likewise would love a link to see the last two rounds. Have been waiting to see it on Motors TV!

Thanks

A quick googling has just turned this up:

http://www.motorstv.com/en/v8-supercars-broadcast-...

So yes, it does look like rights issues. Baws.

If anybody finds any good ways to watch what we've missed (without resorting to the crap 5min youtube videos on the official V8SC channel), please share!

No sign of it on the EPG yet which worries me! Hopefully it'll appear out of the blue....
