2nd Eurosport UK channel appears

Do you think they'll finally manage their schedules properly now, so when it says 5pm Live Motor Racing it really is and not extended highlights from earlier in the day of the Mongolian Tennis Open?

Ch 411 on your sky boxes.

As bad as staying up to watch the days review of WRC and finding that it's been shifted to 2:30am (...after three hours of mongolian tennis of course!)

As far as I have observed Eurosport 2 just seems to be Eurosport news. Guess we will have to wait and see!

[stooz]

any idea how to tune my freeview box into getting eurosport?

I quite like Mongolian tennis ... better than the ballroom dancing they had on the other day.

Has it just been renamed then from Eurosport news to Eursport2? I only saw it in the listings. I hope not, the UK bit makes me think we might be getting better coverage.....I hope.

Just looking at the listings, it looks like we have 2 sports channels from Eurosport, the news bit only appears for 5 mins every hour (5.55, 6.55 etc...) instead of the constant news running.

Is it possible to get the "proper" eurosport on sky digital boxes, instead of this horrible, sanitised tennis loving "British Eurosport"? On my old Astra Analogue box, you could get the original mainland europe version, featuring Tractor Pulling, Drag Racing and my favorite, the Icelandic Off Road Jeep / Buggy thing. Loony Frence Motorcycle hill climbing as well.

I think it's linked to the card in your box, UK card UK based channel I guess.

BTW Eurosport 2 seems to only be showing Winter sports at the moment (Skiing and then jumping off a giant childs slide down a hill in an attempt to break as many bones as possible) but still running their New service overnight and through the morning before sports commence once again.
