    MotoGP:

    We will play the Free Practise and Qualifying in FULL midday on Sunday. All of the races will be shown LIVE on Sommet Sports.
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    My understanding is that Dorna wanted a very large increase in prices for all sorts of coverage, not just TV. It isn't only SKY that wouldn't cough up.

    Parish and Cox don't seem all that popular, sometimes the Poms (and Yanks) don't even know what Cox is on about. Being an Australian, and being given to a "colourful" turn of phrase, his meaning sometimes gets lost in translation.

    One example, "Lorenzo is riding hands and heels." That had most of his viewers stuffed although antipodean people of a certain age would have understood. Be mildly interesting to know if that description means anything to the youngsters hereabout?

    I actually like Charlie Cox commentary because he comes out with alsorts of interesting phrases. I know it's something that only Kiwis and Aussies will understand but that's fine by me.

    Not so keen on Steve Parrish though.

    But the Toby/Jules/Spalders combo is still the best in the business, although at times it's been difficult to tell that Steve Day has replaced Toby at certain races.

    I can't find any 114 or 14 on my Freeview? I just run the auto channel tuning and no new channels materialised.

    What's the name of this channel?

    Just punch in 1, 1, 4. It should come up, then call itself Sommet Sports.

    Does your tuner/tv have the "update channels list" rather than using auto tune?
    I has to update mine, doesn't list it but manually entering 114 now works.

    They are just in test mode at the moment so no listings or nothing... I think it's the 18th when they launch then they'll go to 14 so your freeview will pick it up and give you listings and such.... MotoGP qualifying and practise on sunday about luch i think... then LIVE later on that night... Moto 2,3 and GP yeeha
