Apart from cars my other hobby is Cycling.

My wife is Horsey and we own a share in a Racehorse which goes into racing from next year.

Not currently having, or ever having had, SKY or any other sort of extra-terrestrial TV, and with the Tour de France coverage moving to TNT I am looking to get access to:

Le Mans
Giro d'Italia, Spring classics, Tour de France, Vuelta Espana
Racing TV

Can anyone give me any pointers on the most cost effective way to access these services.

Thanks.

Not sure how much help it will be with you not already having ‘satellite’ tv.

But I have Virgin Tv and was absolutely gutted when Eurosport that showed all the stuff you mentioned was canned. There was no way I could justify paying £30 pcm for TNT though.

What I did though was when my renewal with Virgin came around I said I wanted to leave, the main reason because of the lack of Eurosport. They then did me a deal where I got Virgin TV and TNT for a bit cheaper than my old TV package was before.

So not sure if that’s any help in anyway? maybe you can ring them and get a deal??

Hooky fire stick is the cheapest option, there must be millions of people using them going by how many admit to having them in my local local and workplace. £50 a year to get every channel you could ever think off. It pisses me off that we pay more than double that per month and still can’t watch every game of football we want to.

TNT have everything you want less the Horses

Racing.TV appears to have a £298 per year offer on

https://www.racingtv.com/watch

Seems a reasonable deal


If you can do without a broadband connection. Just get whatever Virgins cheapest package is then add on TNT. Do the 18mth contract, then just before the end, talk to them and get a new deal at less than the whatever daft renewal they want

I've said it elsewhere. TNT Sports is pretty much the content I watch the most of. And by and large the coverage is very good on multiple sports.

Useful, thanks.

Being cost effective on things we can allows us to indulge ourselves in other areas. beer

Discovery Plus comes automatically with TNT I think, certainly does on my subscription, there’s an add free stream for WEC races in there
