I'm going to give Virgin Media a call later this week to see if we can agree on something, I've got a year to go on my contact though, having said that I am getting TV, 400mb Broadband, Telephone & Sky Sports all for £60p/m... and I got £167 cash back, kerching 🤑 Still looking for an IPTV recommendation though just in case... anybody? DM me 🤞🙏

You've done well to post this without Internet! 😂

There's a circumcision joke in there somewhere... but I'm going to leave it alone!

It took you 7 years to come up with that joke? 😂

I think the best idea with the streamers (Disney, Apple, Paramount, Discovery etc) is to hop from one to the other and just binge what you want to watch then move to the next, you then free up some money for the channels that carry live sports, Sky, TNT and to a lesser extent Amazon. It's a bit of admin, but no point continuously paying out for stuff that's always going to be available.

It was a report from a Polish news source was it not?

In the UK a coin toss is done before the match by the 2 team captains and whoever wins chooses the preprogrammed gate choices by selecting 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 in heat one... or they elect to choose the gate positions in the final race. The announcer will then say to use column A or B in the printed match programme. Does that help?

He's only staying until the end of April isn't he? Will it be R/R for the rest of the season?

Can you use "zestaw startowy" in context for us... give us an example sentence you would use it in, in Polish.

Any idea on who's replacing MJJ yet? 😁

I've not used Grok but have asked similar questions to ChatGPT about how to boost the sport, that was a while back though. Gemini can seemingly offer opinions when asked about Speedway, I've only asked basic questions about team make ups etc. It can get its knickers in a twist every now and again though

I think we have our first barney of the year! Get in 👍🏿😂 Looking forward to getting involved in one myself soon 😍

To take a positive, at least the British Speedway & SGP rights are on the same channel, even if it has gone up to £30.99 p/m. Imagine if British Speedway was on Sky and SGP on TNT, that'd be nearly a £50 subscription fee! It's hard to see the SGP (SoN etc) being shown anywhere else as WBD own the staging and TV rights.

The stores aren't bothered by it either or they'd employ proper security. They'll have a certain amount of "leakage" budgeted into their numbers and will make up any shortfall by raising prices for the plebs (us) queuing at the tills.

Will it be edited highlights though... or just the last x minutes of the broadcast I wonder?

I think that's a bit of wishful thinking. They're not going to pay for OB facilities and not show it on their main channels on a Monday night when there's no football on, and correct me if I'm wrong but TNT don't show any Monday night football anyway.

I'm looking into things... I've got an nVidia Shield, have downloaded TiviMate and that's as far as I've got. Any recommendations on a decent IPTV provider?

Tickets on sale today... no line-up announced other than the Aces riders

Can anybody recommend a good IPTV provider?

I very much doubt that SGP2, SON2, Sprint Races and (who cares) SGP quali would be shown on TNT, so sticking with a variation of Discovery+ maybe seems like the best option. I assume the Discovery+ app will still be an option in non UK regions? Maybe that and a VPN subscription would be the way to go?

Betty's hotpot for breakfast...

Cameraman misses the action... again!

It has been on a downward spiral since Sky paid up to get out of the contact early, BT Sport... and finally the indignity of Eurosport! Now we're faced with the prospect of Eurosport production at TNT prices. IMO it is still a product that is ideally suited to TV but lacks any innovation or in depth coverage because it's basically produced by work experience kids (and that's being kind)

The obligatory response, of course, is neigh I won't 😂
