GM Roy,

RW>My basic TV consists of maybe 60 of all those channels available.

My basic TV-channels are three swedish, three finnish and Motors TV.
Of course I have several more to choose from like CNN, BBC World,
Eurosport and more. Of these Eurosport is the one I most often stray to.

Well, it was morning when I started this but then came the sun and made
tha screen almost unreadable, now it's afternoon ;o)

RW>I carry an extra 10 channels that are HD in nature and they play
RW>mostly movies, which I'v probably seen in the theatre, but it's good
RW>to view them again. Among those HD channels is the Velocity channel
RW>that is dedicated to automotive programming.

I don't have time for movies and don't like to see old movies again, nor
reading books I've red b4.

 HG>> What I didn't know then was that a race 3 would follow on sunday.
 HG>> I stumbled on a replay of that late sunday night and followed it to
 HG>> lap 40/78 before going to a delayed nights sleep.

Now I've seen the rest of it too, BG.

RW>If they're HDTVs, then they are compatible with the HD signal.

Well, the VCR's are from the pre-HD era.

RW>As Paul has shown you, there is an online guide and I now envy your
RW>Motor TV channel.

Yes I am very happy that Paul did find out where those listings are.
I may also try if I can get the Motors TV channel on the Digibox.
It could be possible if I put the Basic+ program card into the slot.
OTOH, The TV doesn't show that channel among the non-HC channels.

RW>You might be interested in NASCAR racing on tracks like LimeRock and
RW>Senoma, where you still drive in a circle, but the track is laid out
RW>similar to the Aussie tracks and those in Europe where they race
RW>sports cars with right and left hand turns.

Yes, I've seen races like that even though I don't recall that they were
NASCAR races but the cars (go-carts to you) were similar to Formula vars

 RW>> .......... One of my favorite programming was a two hour series on
 RW>> off road buggy building, an engine building tech, a muscle car
 RW>> rebuilding pgm and my favore, Trucks. It used to run both Saturday

HG> Racing pick-ups and buggies on man made gravel tracks with jumps may
HG> be interestin time killers to look at but I haven't grown upin that
HG> era, HI

RW>Those aren't racing programs as much as they are informative
RW>programs in how to build an off-road rock crawler buggy, or how to
RW>build a street truck to go off-road. Then there is the program where
RW>they take a Detroit engine and build it to make twice as much HP and
RW>torque than it made from the factory. And lastly, the program where
RW>they restore 1960s and 70s muscle cars...

OK.

RW>Now you know about MotorsTV.com and their guide.

Yeah.

 RW>> Well, that's better than nothing. DircTV (sat) has a guide that
 RW>> gives you a description of the program, what the next one is about

 HG> That's what the EPG (Electronic Program Guide) gives us on Motors TV
 HG> but it shows only what's going on what's next. No times are listed
 HG> nor any re-runs.

RW>From what I saw on the MotorsTV web guide, they tell you if the
RW>programming is a replay or new...

They show that info too during a running program: Live, Replay or
Hilight.


Have a nice day,

Holger
