Can anyone tell me when Motors TV are planning on showing the Hamilton Round? I cant find listings on their website as Motors TV still list 2011 drivers and they are still running the Taz reply even after Hamilton has been raced. Any help would be appreciated?!?!?!

This may get moved to TV but I suppose fits in both.

It never series links when I try, which is indicative of the frustrating way that they plan (or don't plan) their schedules. SO it's pot luck I guess!

Hamilton's due to be shown this Saturday I think. It wasn't on this weekend and they were still showing the Tasmania highlights last night so Saturday is an educated guess.

Nah Saturday is Taz again. Ive been through the planner. Seems like they only bought the rights to one race and will show that 20 times. Its been on atleast 6 times since it was raced.

Trying to search the internet without seeing the race resuts is damn difficult too......

Motors TV website says:

Monday 30.04 at 4.10am
Monday 30.04 at 9.35am
Tuesday 1.05 at 0.10am
Wednesday 2.05 at 2.15pm

Don't go to the motors TV website as the results are on the V8s page, along with the broadcast times!

I find this very frustrating with Motors, and unfortunately downloads don't seem so prevalent for V8 Supercars, although I was mildly surprised to find one for Hamilton if you search hard enough.

Typical of Motors Tv this weekend, advertising the Hamilton rounds but showing the previous instead. Amateurish is being kind at times IMO!

I only noticed that they'd updated the EPG to say it was Tasmania and not Hamilton when I went to watch it this morning on the Sky+. Very disappointed in them.

I just want to watch the Hamilton Round :-(

It cant be that hard to show the damn race surely? Why do they keep showing Taz. Other than the Downes off there really wasnt much to talk about.

Yeah its supposed to be according to the times they list but its not. There is some GT series on at 13.50 running for a while. There is lots of NASCAR Nationwide showing but ive gone through every day for a week and its not on. This is rediculous. Ah well another week of waiting I suppose. Im not happy. I dont like a lot and they make it so damn difficult.

I tried emailing them to ask but the contact system does not recognise anything in the message field for some reason. On trying to send it errors stating nothing was written........ perhaps they dont want to be contacted?!?!?!

I searched for it on the EPG and there's no sign of it for the next 7 days. At the moment anyway.....

So that will put them 2 races behind in their coverage. Doesnt look good. Can only assume with this and the out of date website that they are no longer showing it?!?!?!?!?!

Just a heads up that this weekends round at Barbagello was an absolute belter. Race 3 was awesome. I won't give away spoilers but don't miss it.
