Default Speedvision: WTF?

Over the years, I've come to hate speedvision programming so much that I stopped watching a couple of years ago. In fact, I no longer even have it programmed on the remote but tonight I manually tuned in.

I couldn't believe what I saw: 5 men tap dancing on a stage in some kind of talent contest. No surprise, there was a nascrap logo on the screen too.

Fuel TV has the best programming. Inside the Outdoors is a great series about MX. Watch all racing online from Euro feeds and catch a few other shows in Fuel. That's all u need, fuk SPEED.

I have to correct you, it is now called SpeedTV, not Speedvision. Speedvision was good, very good.

SpeedTV sux big time.

Get on to Racing Underground. I get all my motor-sport fix from RU and I've cancelled SpeedTV about 3 years ago.

+1 They have everything on there. I was just watching Rossi's first GP race a little while ago and followed it up with some 2002 WSBK races.

After hearing so much about RU, I finally decided to go and check it out. However, I guess it is invitation only! What's up with that?

Guess it's a private party......

It's become the NASCAR channel. I'm watching bike racing off the torrents. Damn NAScrap and now they have the Gong Show. Simply amazing. Only thing worst are the damn V4 threads.

This is what happens when you sell yourself to the devil (Nascar). Repent heathens repent.

How about a group discount on the free invites to ru.

You know, like the double secret handshake complete with decoder ring.

About 10 years ago, I am in Canada, and I have SpeedTV, they suck....

They don't broadcast the race LIVE, instead they broadcast in on Sunday night 8pm.

The most stupid thing is, they have commercial breaks during the race, which tooks around 3 minutes, especially in the last few laps, the commercial come out and cut off the exciting laps. Since it is not broadcast LIVE, why don't take pause the race and resume it??? instead those 2 or 3 laps disappear.....

SPEEDTV SUCK

AH hell, I hate being the guy who jumps on the bandwagon, but I also hate bitching about speed and doing nothing about it. Anyone want to add me to the (increasingly growing) list?
