    I have two tivo'd F1 practices: one labelled as P1, and the other as P2. Yet, when I got around to watching the second one, I realised that they were both the same recording of P2 but that the second one had Grosjean's crash cut out.

    What gives?!

    I noted this mistake deep in the practice thread; The guide simply got it wrong!

    NBC is the same as Speed; They show FP2 and qualy live. FP1 & FP3 stream live on their site (or at least it did on Speed, don't really know about the NBC site).

    One thing NBC does do quite a bit is repeat it's coverage for a few days, which is nice if you screw up! ;)

    Somewhat related, I was watching my beloved Sharks hockey last night :)() and they were pitching Monaco race coverage on Sunday morning hard - Had some pretty good "teasers" and so on - At least they're trying!

    Cheers,
    Ian

    My guide lists the race as being on both NBC and NBCS.
    Is that correct?

    I *believe* ("trust, but verify" ;)), the race itself is on NBC, not NBCS.

    It's listed as "live" at 10AM on NBCS.

    Would love to see your Sharks win the next game so that the Kings can finish out the series here in LA. ;)

    Probably best to let it drop. [No pun intended :eek: ;)]

    At least they'll all have many tires available tomorrow....
