I don't mind the adverts too much; rather, it's the non-advert time-wasting that annoys me. Eurosport are also guilty in this respect. Especially during the late-night ITV1 highlights - I record 'em and get up early to watch. Lie in tomorrow... They have their regular ad breaks, but don't show any adverts, just trailers for next week's James Bond film and Dragnet. I have not the words.

Which begs the question; if there is only enough footage for about 30 mins per day of a 1 hour program the rest of which is filled up with non-ads, articles about The Devil, bonk bags , emails etc, what must it be like to watch it live? The ITV hour progs are much better than the old channel 4 1/2 hour slots; you got about 10 min of actual footage in those. Don't think I'll be investing in a digibox for next year. Anyone used the live updates off the web? |

om...

I quite liked the old half hour progs, although the hour ones are ok in the mountains. I couldn't face watching it live (on TV - the real thing would be different). Does this make me a heretic? cheers, clive |

I didn't actually, that was James, but that's not important right now...

I found it oddly fascinating on the occasion, a few years ago, when I was at the in-laws - they have Eurosport. It being in Germany, the commentary was in Foreign, but I'm told that this didn't matter unduly as the German commentators were "bloody awful". Anyone used the live updates off the web? Yep, have a browser window running to which I return every so often, or oftener if it's a slow day here in the Nut Mines. I'm getting withdrawal symptoms today...
