I find it useful to know in advance what races will be on TV today and the next few days. This site is quite good Are there any others that provide nice convenient summary of racing on TV?
On the cards page it tells you (grey letters next to the meetings location) and at the bottom of the cards page for the day it tells you the ones on Terrestrial TV (and Scoop 6 races when they are confirmed)
Iv'e only just found that a service called P2P are live streaming a lot of races. I think that they are pirated from a betting company. http://www.hdstream.org.uk/
Cyc, that link is fantastic. How did you get hold of that one? Only one of our TVs has Sky and unless there is a major race on the chances of me getting near it are slim; so to be able to sit in another room and watch the races and see the form on my laptop is pure bliss. Nass, that is just "todays" racing (on terrestrial TV only). I do copy that section for the comps. The site I gave shows all TV racing for the next week.
Ron use www.myp2p.eu for all and any live sporting events (in fact they have lots of TV stations from around the world on there too). http://www.myp2p.eu/ Use the navigation panel at the top, select live sports. Racing you will find under "other". For some of the broadcasts you will need to download and install the relevant player (I prefer sopcast and veetle) - all software can be downloaded from the site, click on software on the navigation bar. All completely safe. I use this sport all the time, just last Thursday I was able to watch the mighty Sheffield Wednesday defeat Blackpool in the first round of the league cup!! As of a few weeks they have daily horse racing coverage (it used to be just the big meetings or a link to Betfair where you have to have a bet on the race to watch it) and one of the links is the one Cyc put up. It's worth investing some time getting to know the site and the various players, once you know your way around it's great. Note that links for a certain event will only appear a few hours before the start of the event.
Cheers Oddy. When I use the link Cyc gave it is MYP2P.EU that appears. I wonder what the difference is.
Evening (morning gents.) Gotta love p2p. I watch heaps of sport on the site. Just got through watching a Rugby League game in New Zealand. I also get into Justintv as well. I've got a list of about 20 streaming sites. Don't ya just love this new age.
