Surely you have heard of Speedvision? They have a website with all their
upcoming programs. They have lots of old films of GPs
(Fangio/Nuvolari/Ascari, etc.) - they just showed Moss' MG land spped
record film, they had this year's Monterey. Also old boats and planes.
Great network. What ESPN would be if car people ran the world!
We get it on our DSS dish.It comes with one of the sports programming
packages.
If this is something you already know, I apologize. Otherwise, I hope it
helps. Other than that, I've also heard of people getting european feeds
of present-day GPs and B/GTCC races on their regular (K band) sattelite
dishes.
Our friend is running a green-on-green Twincam here on the east coast.
He burns $10. bills. We, however, are into Alfas and we burn lire, so it
doesn't matter.
Have fun.
Susan
