In a message dated 03-13-14, Roy Witt said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   GM Roy,   
      
   RW>My basic TV consists of maybe 60 of all those channels available.   
      
   My basic TV-channels are three swedish, three finnish and Motors TV.   
   Of course I have several more to choose from like CNN, BBC World,   
   Eurosport and more. Of these Eurosport is the one I most often stray to.   
      
   Well, it was morning when I started this but then came the sun and made   
   tha screen almost unreadable, now it's afternoon ;o)   
      
   RW>I carry an extra 10 channels that are HD in nature and they play   
   RW>mostly movies, which I'v probably seen in the theatre, but it's good   
   RW>to view them again. Among those HD channels is the Velocity channel   
   RW>that is dedicated to automotive programming.   
      
   I don't have time for movies and don't like to see old movies again, nor   
   reading books I've red b4.   
      
    HG>> What I didn't know then was that a race 3 would follow on sunday.   
    HG>> I stumbled on a replay of that late sunday night and followed it to   
    HG>> lap 40/78 before going to a delayed nights sleep.   
      
   Now I've seen the rest of it too, BG.   
      
   RW>If they're HDTVs, then they are compatible with the HD signal.   
      
   Well, the VCR's are from the pre-HD era.   
      
   RW>As Paul has shown you, there is an online guide and I now envy your   
   RW>Motor TV channel.   
      
   Yes I am very happy that Paul did find out where those listings are.   
   I may also try if I can get the Motors TV channel on the Digibox.   
   It could be possible if I put the Basic+ program card into the slot.   
   OTOH, The TV doesn't show that channel among the non-HC channels.   
      
   RW>You might be interested in NASCAR racing on tracks like LimeRock and   
   RW>Senoma, where you still drive in a circle, but the track is laid out   
   RW>similar to the Aussie tracks and those in Europe where they race   
   RW>sports cars with right and left hand turns.   
      
   Yes, I've seen races like that even though I don't recall that they were   
   NASCAR races but the cars (go-carts to you) were similar to Formula vars   
      
    RW>> .......... One of my favorite programming was a two hour series on   
    RW>> off road buggy building, an engine building tech, a muscle car   
    RW>> rebuilding pgm and my favore, Trucks. It used to run both Saturday   
      
   HG> Racing pick-ups and buggies on man made gravel tracks with jumps may   
   HG> be interestin time killers to look at but I haven't grown upin that   
   HG> era, HI   
      
   RW>Those aren't racing programs as much as they are informative   
   RW>programs in how to build an off-road rock crawler buggy, or how to   
   RW>build a street truck to go off-road. Then there is the program where   
   RW>they take a Detroit engine and build it to make twice as much HP and   
   RW>torque than it made from the factory. And lastly, the program where   
   RW>they restore 1960s and 70s muscle cars...   
      
   OK.   
      
   RW>Now you know about MotorsTV.com and their guide.   
      
   Yeah.   
      
    RW>> Well, that's better than nothing. DircTV (sat) has a guide that   
    RW>> gives you a description of the program, what the next one is about   
      
    HG> That's what the EPG (Electronic Program Guide) gives us on Motors TV   
    HG> but it shows only what's going on what's next. No times are listed   
    HG> nor any re-runs.   
      
   RW>From what I saw on the MotorsTV web guide, they tell you if the   
   RW>programming is a replay or new...   
      
   They show that info too during a running program: Live, Replay or   
   Hilight.   
      
      
   Have a nice day,   
      
   Holger
