I hope Eurosport do get the coverage right this time, but I by far prefered the Motors set up where it was on one channel for chunks of time.

Guess? You must have a VCR....

In your version of Media Centre (UK/EU version of Windows), it automatically knows where to be. They have to release this information up to 10 days in advantage for guide listings.

I'm not sure what site they pull the information from, but closer to the race I can give you nailed down times on which to turn your recorder on.

Time to invest in a PVR - Tivio HD works great, kinda pricey though.

Or if you wanna set up a PVR with your PC with free software and a couple of cheap TV cards, let me know. I'll point you in the right direction.

That looks like some kind of subsciprtion site, maybe they got the wrong link on the lizhalliday.com news.

The LMS races were shown here (well actually on the German version of the site):

http://eurosport.yahoo.com/28042008/...-schedule.html

Then again, I could pay 5 € to see the whole race...

Us Americans will have to wait for someone to post a MMS link that we can open from the VLC media player.

Tim the Grey · 5 Jun 2008, 23:00 (Ref:2220877)

Yeah, that's where I watched Spa, with RLM on another window...

Not counting MST and live timing/news on a second laptop!

What?

deggis · 5 Jun 2008, 23:47 (Ref:2220898)

Like I said earlier, LMS races were never supposed to be there, but the 24H LM stream has been officially promised. So I think there will some differencies too where the webstream will be.

You might have to translate most of that into a language I understand

We've got a recordable hard drive which we use, it works fine although you have to manually set the segments (unlike Sky+ but I refuse to pay more for Sky than I do already!). The problem is that Eurosports adherence to their published schedule is pretty flakey so you have to start each segment early and run it late otherwise you'll always miss the start and/or the finish of segments. I don't think Sky+ helps as it only records to the scheduled times anyway?

We're planning a house move in the new year and want to set up Media Centre type stuff there so I am interested to hear more but you'll have to speak slowly!

Cheers

Sky+ can help as it records as long as the TV station tell the system that its overrunning. Of course, Eurosport don't bother with such technicalities normally......

Yes, they were supposed to be there, according to the German press release. Back then when the deal was announced I already said so. You might remember me telling you about that.

Am i right in thinking Eurosport are not showing the first qualifying session? Why is that> i would have thought it would be quite important!

Posted on DSC Today.

Thurs June 12 - Qualifying Session 4 Live 21.00-23.00

Emillian Stoyko · 6 Jun 2008, 23:17 (Ref:2221620)

OK, DSC has a schedule that's at least two months old. Reffer to my earlier post about the schedule. Only the first session won't be shown because it clashes with a rugbby tournament, the contract for which was signed before Le Mans wen't back to Eurosport. And so that contract must be honoured.

Thats a bit silly as if it stays dry Q2 is often when the pole laps are set

I looked it up and, in fact, it seems like I forgot to really type out my reply to your post back then. But I mentioned full races being included on March, 4th, already.

The way German press releases were worded, full races really seemed to have been planned right from the start.

Apologies if that's the case but the text came from the British commentary team so that's what they are expecting to be on duty for

Nothing to apologize, I guess the commentators have been fed the wrong info. Or maybe the other session will be done by another part of the team.

Anway I just want to tell yo the great news that you may very well see Jeremy Shaw as part of the commentary. I SO hope he'll be at the track early and not just for the race because he's one of my heroes and his dream team with Ben Edwards inspired me to persue this "job". Also more than 10 track cameras will continue working during the night hours, so (fingers crossed) no more cars goinig in/out of the pits for 6 hours.

Great.

Do you know has the lack of cameras during the night been simply a money/resources problem or just because one can't see much in the pitch black?

Actually why that latter thing is problem in the first place, they should place some stationary cameras on the Mulsanne and sound (in 5.1 Dolby Digital please) is just enough even if you couldn't see anything

deggis · 10 Jun 2008, 11:20 (Ref:2224685)

What does this mean?

http://www.lemans.org/24heuresdumans...F_3066_gb.html

"You can buy the video live option directly on Eurosport web site for €5.90"

Also there is list of countries (only Europe I'm afraid) where the Eurosport player works.

Emillian, can you clarify this?

Actually I'd pay that, but then I really won't trouble free stream.
