Crabba59 Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Are you allowed to say that , we all know that GPs and polish speedway is the best ? Not. The racing over here can be as good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Someone said speedway gps are rubbish, no they not. Watched 2019 Malilla and 2019 Teterow, both amazinMonday night I got You Tube via Rocku and watched 2012 Championship Final, both legs, between Somerset and Scunthorpe. Good racing on very good tracks. Also watched a match between Somerset and Sheffield. Again a good match to watch.

craigACE Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Must admit i am not interested in watching the gps again. Would rather search out the Club meetings that i have not seen before. Been IOW and Berwick ones mostly. IOW ones are done really well on Portal. The lad Barry seems to do a dance on them all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scrutton Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Is this the end of Speedway repeats for 2020 There must be several matches in stock over the years that were really close and full of good racing or must we have to watch cycling nearly all day (Eurosport) and Australian Tennis B/T Every other day ??

Skidder1 Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) There are 'Re-wind' meetings on every night via facebook and/or You-Tube. See the SpeedwayGB website for those meetings advised by the various clubs. There have been team fixtures and individual meetings featured in recent weeks.

The Cheese Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 On 4/10/2020 at 2:21 PM, The Cheese said: Anyone who applied for the month's credit from BT Sport, this has now been extended to 2 months. Should be done automatically so no need to apply again. Looks as though they will add another too if there's no live sport in June. Some live sport has returned but BT are giving 50% credit for June. Will be done automatically if you applied for previous months, if you haven't then it should be available on their website from June 1st.

Pick+1 can also be found on Sky (163). There is a technical difference between 'Free to Air' (FTA) and 'Free to View'. (FTV). FTA means the programme or channel is available to all without any paid for subscription and are shown without any encryption. FTV still carries no cost but is encrypted so you would need to have a pay TV subscription box, either Sky, Virgin or BT even if the programme or channel itself doesn't have to be paid for. So with FTV you have to be paying someone a subscription for other services. FTA is completely free. Freeview and Freesat are mainly FTA. The added complication with Freeview is that certain channels are not carried on all transmitters and some can only be watched if you have an HD receiver even if the channel itself is not HD! Yes, it's that simple! If you live in a place served by a relay TV transmitter rather than a main regional mast and do not or cannot have satellite or cable you will miss out on many channels unless you find them on the internet so I'm afraid 'scoobydoo' is right. Not all free matches will be necessarily available to all. The only way to ensure universal access is carriage by the BBC, ITV , Channel or 5. Channels like Quest and Pick only are available to 74% of Freeview Viewers, Sky One to 0. Edited May 30, 2020 by RobMcCaffery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the face of it FTA and FTV might seem to be the same and just a technicality of name but there is a hell of a difference, as I can now see. The situation is truly over-complex and there is no way to get it over to the general public. Sky used this as a major part of their marketing during the digital switchover period, effectively saying, "Confused? Pay us money and we'll deal with it all for you". The best way is to go to the Freeview website https://www.freeview.co.uk/ , enter your postcode and see what the engineers think you'll receive. Whether you're on a main transmitter or a relay doesn't even depend on how remote you are. You could be in the middle of nowhere and have direct line of sight of a main transmitter, while someone in a major city could have hills blocking the signal, causing a local relay to be needed - and the result is Freeview Light. This does have relevance to speedway. The recent TV deal with Eurosport made claims about highlights being available to all on free channels. It's not true - some of their free stations are not available to over 25% of Freeview users. Edited May 31, 2020 by RobMcCaffery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
