    Unless we get a race on saturday ie holand gp or early on sunday ie phillip island i have to tape them all and watch em that night after work, just have to avoid dialling in to motogp.com or WSBK.com that day to avoid seeing the results.
    I do however think that when they are advertised on sky to be on at a certain time they need to leave as advertised. I was taping some racing one night and half way through they changed to a soccer match and switched the racing to another bloody sky sport channel

    That's what really pisses me off and that's why I don't mind if they show delayed coverage. If it's scheduled for 9 am on a Monday morning, they're not going to bump it a the last minute for cricket or soccer or tennis.

    YEAH you should have got in contact with Rod Cheeseman from Sunrise and told him NOT to put it on his Sports Report seeing that none of us have watched it yet due to delayed coverage of it been put on Sky Sport. I hate knowing the end results before having a chance to watch it.
    I guess we need to learn not to put on the TV as well as the Radio until we have seen it for ourselves.

    I signed up for sky at the start of the year to watch sbk and motogp live, the rest of thier programs are shite. Has anyone ever had any luck getting out of thier 12 month contract with Sky before?

    Here's a technical fix for those of you who want to watch Sky Sports live without any delays. Simply re-install your Sky dish about 8000 klm's North.

    To add insult to injury they cut the post race interviews out for the Moto Gp race. Awesome race though.

    Nothing if not consistent...

    Well y'all better stay away from your radios and TVs next Monday because SKY have gone for the jackpot. MotoGP, Superbikes & Supersport are all delayed.

    I feel like taking a sicky even more than I usually on a Monday.

    Christ guys, it wasn't that long ago that the only coverage we got was in Magazines. At least we get it same day or thereabouts.
    We are a minority Sport, compared with Rugby, Cricket etc. BUT, we get a far better deal than the ALL conquering Softballers. They are going for a fourth straight World Championship. How much coverage of that have you seen????

    Well said. But guess we're just showing our age Burrt???

    You're right though. Had to wait a month before the Mags came out.

    Yikes. The BAD old days........................
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    oh for f@*k sake, the w@#kers have us over a barrel. I love my bikes and my league and if wasn't for the league i would have gone and bought a freeview box long ago. I have missed the last 3 motoGP races because sky delay them. I have no problem at all with them playing the major sports and giving the minority sports a back seat but why the f@*k cant they put it on one of the highlights channels. Christ its only 4 hours out of there precious little highlights channel to keep us happy. twats!!!!

    sorry, getting wound up again!!
