Well, it IS the only access to live F1 coverage in the US.

hell, I had to go higher, because speed is NOT as good as it used to be, but now I can watch the other good channels like outdoor (joke) well more discovery channels. love that science this week I think it is, on Science channel.

you dont think that stupid ass show aint scripted? ****. what I find so
atractive about the shows you list, is it just seems to so blatently show
how fecking dumb some people are... "Im here to show you how much goddam
money you can waste on a car, 1st lets install 14 plasma tv's in this some
beech, then some 33 inch wheels, that make the car look like it was designed
with wheels from a 1870's 2 horse coffin hauler. paint everything red or
neon..." and then wonder why some dick skinner stole this some bitch while
parked out side the quicksack...

Forgot about the F1 coverage. I'm mainly peeved that my cable company
doesn't carry Speed. I do miss the WRC coverage, d/l divx files via file
sharing just isn't the same.

There's a cable company that doesn't carry Speed ? Now that's really odd!

Lots more than one. Lots of small ma & pa companies in rural areas don't. I
don't even have the choice of cable where I live, although I am less than
..5mi from folks that do. I have a .75mi private road and no cable company is
going to run the cable for 3-4 users. Everyone here has Direct or Dish
anyway. The prices on Direct TV are a good bit less, with a much better
choice of packages than any of the cable outfits around here. The local
cable co. here does not offer any Fox Sports Networks, and thus no Speed.
