You're certainly not alone there, Russ.B  I'm to the point where I now toggle
to Versus before Speed Channel.B  Maybe it's the parent company ESPN that
dictates the mindless fodder like Dumbest Stuff on Wheels -B Speed Channel's
B now the Dumbest Stuff on T elevision.



PLEASE bring back Legends of Motorsport and archival footage programs from
BBC, BP, Shell, let's hear from Murray Walker and Stirling and Alan de C
adenet - I'll even look foerward to hearing Sam Posey.B  Anything but the
dumbed-down un-leaded crap that is on day after day after day.B  But don't get
me started....



I've actually found some fabulous stuff on YouTube.B  The sights and sounds of
Jimmy ClarkB flying through the forest at the old Nurburgring, Jackie Oliver
at the Glen in the rain , or Group C at Spa....

Perhaps I am the only one that only keeps Speed Channel for the F1
telecasts. If I could find another source I would drop that channel like a
hot brick. With all the streaming available I'm surprised it's not available
in that format. Unfortunately all the programming I liked like "Legends of
Motorsport" and some of the British factory films has gone away in favor of
worthless dribble loaded with obnoxious commercials. Back in the day of
Speedvision they even had vintage racing along with lots of rally and
European/Australian racing. There was also the "Drive-In Theater" which
showed campy "car" related movies hosted by Bruce Dern. Okay, that's my
opinion.

Anyone discover an alternative way to receive F1 and auto related
programming? I refuse to pay for HD to get Octane Discovery.

Thanks

B 

Russ
