   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.
