      Greetings Holger!               RW>> My basic TV consists of maybe 60 of all those channels available.               HG> My basic TV-channels are three swedish, three finnish and Motors TV.        HG> Of course I have several more to choose from like CNN, BBC World,        HG> Eurosport and more. Of these Eurosport is the one I most often stray        HG> to.              Cool.               HG> Well, it was morning when I started this but then came the sun and        HG> made tha screen almost unreadable, now it's afternoon ;o)              OK.               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.               HG> I don't have time for movies and don't like to see old movies again,        HG> nor reading books I've red b4.              Reading books I've read before isn't my cup of tea either. But I do enjoy       watching a movie I've seen before, as long as it is a good one. I just       watched The Godfather the other night, because I always liked it. But I       watch John Wayne movies over and over because he was a good actor.               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.               HG> Now I've seen the rest of it too, BG.               RW>> If they're HDTVs, then they are compatible with the HD signal.               HG> Well, the VCR's are from the pre-HD era.              Ahhh. So are mine. My DVD player has been upgraded by connecting it to the       internet and let it update it's software. Dunno how that affected it, but       it is a BlueRay HD player.               RW>> As Paul has shown you, there is an online guide and I now envy your        RW>> Motor TV channel.               HG> Yes I am very happy that Paul did find out where those listings are.        HG> I may also try if I can get the Motors TV channel on the Digibox.        HG> It could be possible if I put the Basic+ program card into the slot.        HG> OTOH, The TV doesn't show that channel among the non-HC channels.              I have a car oriented channel called VEL, for Velocity, which is an HD       channel. I can't get it in the bedroom or guest room because it IS HD and       the receivers in there are SD only.               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.               HG> Yes, I've seen races like that even though I don't recall that they        HG> were NASCAR races but the cars (go-carts to you) were similar to        HG> Formula vars              Indy cars, then. Nascar does race on roadcourses during their season, but       only two or three. The rest are on roundy-round or oval tracks.                      R\%/itt - K5RXT                                   --- GoldED+/W32 1.1.5-31012       --- D'Bridge 3.99        * Origin: South-Texas Area Hub - Gulf Coast Backbone (1:387/22)    |
