  5. Who's "they"? ESPN itself? Gadzooks.

    TVRacer.com and the Comcast guide has had it right all along.

    Eh?
    EPSN2 (over Dish) covered all of the three quali sessions, and the just-out-of-the-car interviews, when I watched live, today.
    Yes, ESPN cuts off long before Sky is done blathering, and not all the driver interviews, but they do carry the event to the checkered flag (so far).
    (ESPN is just carrying Sky TV's coverage.)

    Yep. They don’t cut it off, ESPN says it will only be an hour but they broadcast an extra 20 minutes or so into the next scheduled program.

    Way to go again ESPN.

    I'll take NBC Sports, at least they reaired almost every qualifying or put it on a channel where the masses can watch.

    The major problem is ESPNEWS for qualifying. You can't even watch it on the app because it tells you it' not included in your cable package. So I can stream the race but not quali.

    I have Fios with Verizon and it recorded every practice and qualifying. Not sure why you guys aren't getting the show with your company.

    Comcast has a reasonable "Sports Pak" that includes ESPN News and ESPNU and a few other things.

    . . . . and I don't see how anybody can complain about ESPN's commercial free coverage compared to NBCSN.

    At least I get METV.

    For something they would normally air on ESPN or ESPN2, it's a terrible decision to not air them for free on the web.

    Personally I would rather watch MeTv's reruns of Twilight Zone, Hogan's Heroes and Gilligan's Island than another Mercedes 1-2 at COTA

    But not Carol Burnett. There are limits. :).

    My mom is a big fan of MeTV. I think they air Dennis The Menace. That was my show as a kid.

  23. 'Gotcha. I started another thread after posting here and then added an updte to it with the same. Later, the MeTV thing was deleted so now I'm up in the air about how I'm gonna watch as my local ABC affiliate has infomercials scheduled and they run 'em. Racing doesn't rate to that affiliate. I'm hopin maybe this time I'll be wrong or else it'as 8pm or 1am reruns for me.....I hope! :)
