The NBCSN feed is at fault, their broadcast appears to be sound only at the moment, they have a programme alert on the screen to say they have technical difficulties.

Must be ten minutes since we've seen any cars!

BT Sport had a separate feed.

Don't even know why I posted that

[skeggysteve]

Apparently it the feed from the circuit that is the problem not a Sky problem. Still bloody annoying mind!

WRT ads think your self lucky we get the UK adverts I've watched some US sport car races where the ads were the US ones and they are really bad and I mean really!

[Bullitt Five-Oh]

Alright Lea Duffy has just confirmed it was an issue with their link. Not sure what's more annoying, that or the potential Newgarden victory.

[Speed Badger]

Uh, now you do actually plan to have Indycars on your Indycar broadcast right?

[Sheetmaself]

I think it’s good to see Max Chilton is as competitive as ever

Do we think his dad ever thinks about sacking him??

The tech was suspect from the moment they couldn't talk to the guy sat behind Mario in the double car.

so...what do Verizon do?

I think this is the worst coverage of any sporting event...ever

It is pretty shocking, isn’t it? Watching 2 hours of ad breaks interspersed with some racing and a temporary fault sign.

Someone needs to tell Sky that adverts in a live race are a bad thing. C4 worked that out three years ago and only put ad breaks in the F1 races when they were showing highlights, with the live races being advert free.

Ferrucci..was he the guy that got in bother for texting in his race car?

Just trying to entertain myself during rubbish coverage of a rubbish race

[Sheetmaself]

Whoops!

Im finding the race quite entertaining and luckily or unluckily i am used to US tv so thats not bothering me.

BT Sport, where are you when we need you most!?

[Speed Badger]

For about every four or five adverts the US coverage had, BT Sport would have around one. They would stay with the US feed and we would usually get Keith Collantine & Tom Gaymore providing UK commentary over the pictures. Sky need to take a leaf out of that model.

Mostly not. Usually only under yellow. We got the Brits commentating when the yanks had ads.

And that's what I'd expect from a premium channel.
