i started writing this as a reply to this

http://www.ten-tenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=92565

but a) it's gone off topic, b) it makes more scence to post it here and c)nobody's really going to care either way

basically it's how i feel about sportscar racing in europe at the moment. if you change the names it's also how i feel about wrestling.

i really like fia gt. i don't like where it's going but i can't stop it so i'll enjoy what i can until the fia ruins it totally. I also like gt's racing without the prototypes, don't get me wrong, i really like lms to. but the fia gt could be really good if they'd stop trying to get tv coverage and pro drivers and big audiences this week. my point the main public arn't going to start going to spa or watching a 2 hour gt race on tv when they've got other stuff to do. so they might go le mans and watch a little f1 but that'll be it. gt racing isn't going to be mainstream while they keep trying to mainstream, they need to build an audience. people will watch good racing and as f1's a total snooze they would watch gt's and le mans but instead they want football or something else because nobody but a few diehards go at the moment.

thinks that'll do for now.

NTL YOU FOOLS!!!

Heres how the channel list goes on ntl digital.

137 Bravo
138 Bravo +1
139

?
140 E4 (i think, cant be arsed to check but thats not the point)

Point is why have a blank 139 when you could have bravo 2 in their, i'm most annoyed with this as i was really looking forward to watching tna >:((

I'm not happy

Sky does it too, so you're not on your own there. UKTV G2 is at 111, and UKTV G2+1 is in the 170's or something. I can't be bothered to check exactly where, but it's definately not on 112.

it's 169. how sad is that, i actually know. whats worse however is i know a lot of the ,major channels even stuff like the channel five channels 207 and 209. actually thats a good thing to bring up they have show nascar highlights on one of them, can't remember when but it might be worth it if they still have the highlights package.
