    I was so excited to get this channel i'm paying $60 a month for it. I'm already sick of it after a week.

    You are paying 60/month for Speed Channel? That's how much I pay for almost 400 channels including speed from Direct TV. The only time I watch Speed channel, is at F1 season.

    HAHAHA! So does this mean you've had enough NASCAR and Pinks? I think you should watch it somemore... good thing is that March and F1 is just a few months away

    Speed used to be good before it became the Nascar network. I used to love the Legends of Motorsport series. Now the only time I watch it is F1 season, and the occasional touring car race.

    Who the heck pays for the Speed channel? Doesn't that come with basic cable?

    Not in all areas..

    I used to love the channel when it was more diverse. I really really miss seeing WRC. Pinks all out can be entertaining from time to time, but I rarely watch anything on that channel anymore.

    I just wish BBC had Top Gear on more often.

    Speed was cool when it was Speedvision (pre fox buyout).

    However, every so often they have some cool touring car stuff.

    I hate Nascar.

    I'm also guessing that the $60/month is that Ed bought a new service just for speed (like Direct or Fios).

    Anyway, in 90 days you will be glad you have it as there is no other F1 coverage. I would kill for ITV (those who have it and complain obviously don't have speed coverage) and I wish BBCA would show full episodes of TopGear not truncated versions.

    I probably should move to the UK. All music and entertainment I like is British. If they just didn't drive on the wrong side of the road...

    The most ultimate stupid show is "Super Bikes". How stupid... watching a bunch of guys:

    1) doing wheelies
    2) doing wheelies with 1 foot
    3) standing on their seat
    4) standing on their seat with 1 foot
    5) sitting on the gas tank with their legs draped over the handle bars
    6) doing doughnuts on a motorcycle
    7) locking up the front wheel and making the back tire come off the ground
    8) talking about how cool they are
    9) start at #1 and repeat over and over

    Did I forget anything??? Probably not. Let's make this into a series!

    All while wearing blue jeans and a tee shirt. Stupid. How can anyone watch this stuff over and over.

    yeah, i bought the cable just for speed. $49.99 for basic and $9.99 for the digital package that includes speed. I'll prob cancel it after the f1 season. also love watching the f1 race on ITV. i do that when i didn't have anywhere to watch speed. you can download the itv broadcasts, but it can be a couple of days later. Itv still has the best intro though. i get pumped up just watching it. turn it up loud.

    Think of all the money Ed is going to spend on Spice PPV and the Playboy specials waiting till March: that may be enough for a Fiat "major 15K service" By the way, do they make snow tires in 10 inch diameter?
