im furious, i dont have digital yet and ITV in all their infinite wisdom have put the live qualifying onto itv 3. im gutted, why does that channel have F1, they couldnt give a f*** about it.

now i have to wait until 1.40pm until i can watch, no doubt with laps missing etc.

I'm lucky I got Sky Digital for Christmas as I would miss the re-run as well as I'll be in Sheffield for the Newcastle game.

F**king Bollocks!! Stupidity by ITV, can't believe it!!

At least i have Setanta to fall back on.

Stop whining: I have to get up at 2:30 am or actually stay up till then to catch quali - unless I leave it to my DVR...

[Irv the Swerve]

The time isn't the problem DD, it's itv showing it on itv 3.

here it's 11 pm quali on TSN, 1 am on SPEED, and they both have the race at 2:30 am, including the pre race show. This shows that Quali is not live here.

[darwin dali]

mad, check your times again: the race is at 15:00 local time and SPEED shows it live at 3:00 (starting at 2:30 with pre-race show). Quali is at 14:00 local time and SPEED shows it at 2:00 live. Both times the time difference is 12 hours, so quali has to be live. Dunno where you get the 23:00 time from (probably a repeat of practice).

OOPS I was looking at the Pacific time(not the eastern time) for the quali on TSN. Make that Sat 2 am instead of 11pm. The rest of my numbers are what it said, but something is missing. You're right, Speed has it live at 2 am, but they didn't list it in the little "what's on this weekend in F1" box, just the repeat of it right before the race. I had to go to the actual TV schedule for it.
The times were from the websites, not from my PVR's guide. I take it you're in my time zone.

[darwin dali]

Yeah, I go by my TimeWarner on-screen schedule.
And yes, we're neighbors (or is it spelled neighbours on your side of the border? ) - I'm in NY, 'bout 150 miles southeast from you.

[madbrad]

Yes. all Americans live in crippling fear of the letter U.

[darwin dali]

Not true: see, e.g., thru vs. through - LOL!
It's about simplification of spelling (because Americans are uneducated and can't read or spell).

[madbrad]

Their gallon is puny too. That must be a reflection of something.

[darwin dali]

Ah that? It's a conspiracy by big oil to keep the posted gas prices low.

[madbrad]

I like cheesies.
