R3000 to watch TT

i agree with jap these is the fantastic news i take back my previous coment.

I think it's great news if we still get as racing and they up their game. For instance, didn't get to hear Craig's interview yesterday as they cut away to an overseas race.

If the get the right people involved you could do so much with a purely South African based racing channel and as has been said you can stream overseas racing from almost anywhere.

I agree, for a once off payment I will also dump dstv. Who says its a 3k once off though?

for me the answer is simple. broad cast the picture you get straight from the track like you get if you are going their. get rid of all the presenters is no needed. tellytrack dont pay salaries every one win win what the pleasure may be we see the canter pasts then. (tu)

This time it's me agreeing with Flash.

Pictures without presenters;a dream come true.

I really hope you are correct - this little piggy would be rolling in the mud (tu)

This could end up being positive if track feed is on the cards for home use?

if this happens I too will be a pig in mud(thanks Frodo) but then how would the overseas partners get their product out there as unless you buy the decoder the tabs are closed when a great deal of their racing takes place as are many bookmakers so turnover would drop on that product?

It seems nobody is listening/reading!

TT DID OFFER THE SAME PACKAGE some years back; I think it was about R300.

Then, after a few months, it was unilaterally cancelled!

What is the fine distinction this time around? The decoder?

My sources are saying the same thing..... It would be very easy to be weaned off international racing as
I seldom punt on places without pictures or audio feed....and no carts and tedious jumps will be absolute heaven
and I will no longer fall asleep as trying to watch it..... is like counting sheep,,,,,:S

Have already cancelled DSTV subs. However, the Interbet TV streaming for the Queens Plate was really bad
