I certainly hope there is some more live type coverage rather than the summary coverage they were giving it just before they quit carrying it.
The last few I saw the coverage wasn't very good.
It's pretty difficult to do live coverage of a three day event...
Well that leave us out. We can't get SPEED with out a $100 per month cable plan F that! We watched when it was on HD or velocity or what ever is on the basic plan +NESN (wife has to have her Baseball....) Ya i know were oposit of most house she loves ball sport I can't stand'em
Man, I used to LOVE staying up and watching the nightly 'live' (actually summary) coverage. If there's any one thing that whacks WRC ratings hard, it's that it is shown so late at night.
Now if they would just make it available streaming.
Good news. Thanks. I'll record it.

They can show almost a whole cricket game for like a week...
While I am excited about this, I'll just keep downloading the HD torrents from Eurosport or MotorsTV which is put up the same day it is broadcast, and then I can watch it asap.
You guys do know it's as easy as clicking your mouse a couple of times to get this footage if you want, right?

You mean watch it on a computer screen at computer resolution?

Computer resolution - for everyone but functionally blind - is at least 720P and 1080P is becoming the norm.
With HDTVs it is as simple as hooking the TV up to a PC/Laptop/Mac whatever - almost all new TVs have at least two of HDMI/DVI/VGA inputs.
We don't have cable. I just have a computer that automagically downloads every show we want to watch - a nice interface (Boxee) that acts like a TiVo or other PVR.
Yah that's just great, unless you live somewhere where the only innernet conn is a verizon aircard with a 5gig/mo limit, or a satellite conn with a 450meg/ day limit...

No, I mean watch it on my 60" plasma in 720p glory while lounging in the lazyboy. That's what I mean 
I just make the assumption that most people have access to a laptop or portable HD nowadays.
As for you poor unfortunate souls with no hi-speed... where in the middle of butt-berkeley nowhere do you live? 
In reply to HiTempguy:
It's not about access to hi-speed and/or a cable package, it's about cost and priorities.
In the meantime, I'll enjoy Speed's coverage and hope other fans soon get the opportunity to do the same.

I spend much less on my internet connection than I would on a cable/satellite, and that is before work reimburses me for more than 1/2 the cost.
There will be additional coverage on Speed2. Whatever that is. Daily half-hour wrap-ups. Next mission- get Speed to do the same for the 6 National Rally America races!

On the outskirts of town and DSL is as good as it gets. Most of the people near me can't even get DSL.

Naw, while there are some poor souls who will suffer, the internet is the way of the future. Cable is an expensive, dieing medium IMO, I haven't needed it in 6 years.
My offer does stand to mail DVD's out for the cost of shipping ($5 anywhere from Canuckland to the USofA) of all three HD day reviews per event.
Of course, you're watching a week later, but hey, a rally fix is a rally fix, and that's basically $5/month out of someone's pocket.
Edit- And since MotorsTV does not give a berkeley:

If you watch the 240p version, it is 65mb for 24minutes, this guy is uploading all of the 2012 events.
I haven't had cable for two years now. Consequently I have missed a LOT of racing. The point is (all internet tricks aside) it's reason to rejoice that after a six year absence Speed picked it back up. Add live Formula One etc. & I'm gonna start paying $$$ again for cable or satellite. We should count our blessings that we have a channel dedicated to motorsports (mostly) in the USA everyday! I know there's a lot of NASCAR and other crap on Speed but ultimately if you love many kinds of racing you gotta have it.
Great, now my cable bill is going to go up $15 so I can get SPEED again. LOL
