Posts: 6,049 Sebring, Florida. | I've been watching the Tour De France on NBCSP (Comcast cable) so I'm guessing they will also have the AC? I hope they cover all the lead in racing this summer, not just the finals. Last AC, some of the fleet racing on the 45's was much more exciting (and lots of crashes!) than some of the finals.

Posts: 2,490 On the Water | Can I order the BT Sport app and online player on its own? No, but it's included for free with BT Sport on the Sky Digital Satellite Platform and with BT Sport on BT TV. The app and online player is also available with our BT Broadband packages for just £5 a month.
Keep reading that page! It says that all IPs outside of the UK will be blocked, even if you have paid for the BT Sport package. Maybe that's because they want to negotiate a separate contract for each country/continent like they did for China. Our day will come... I got it working here in the US, but it comes with some headaches. First, you have to have a UK provider that includes Sky Sport or BT Sport in the package before you can stream with an account. I have family in London so I used their acct and password. Then you need to use the addon extention Stealthy and configure it to "GB" (United Kingdom proxy). It did not work using FF but did work using Chrome. Be patient because it takes several minutes for the proxy to establish. So it's doable, but you will need access to an account.

Posts: 2,490 On the Water | Just my guess, but remember that annoying anchor for AC34? Todd Harris? Well, the $$golden child$$ for NBC Sports is the Tour de France, which Todd Harris is the anchor, along with Bob Roll and Christian Vande Velde. Unfortunately, the Tour de France is happening right now and at the same time as Portsmouth. To broadcast live, both are happening simultaneously. NBC Sports is just one network. They are not going to bump the Tour to broadcast ACWS Portsmouth. Ain't gonna happen.

Timbo, do you ever feel "Not so fresh?" I watch for the drug commercial that has everyone in bathtubs. Maybe it treats some disease like leprosy where you have to wash a lot... Or maybe it treats OCD hand-washers? Or maybe the drug just makes you want to take baths.. outdoors?

They would just pick up the feed and broadcast.

Whenever I have that 'not so fresh' feeling, I pour a little Fresca on a pantie liner and then strap it on. It gives me that little extra lift I need to make it through all my house cleaning and doing the laundry, and I have a spring in my step too.

It does have the data for the virtual eye for all the LV races and the Cup races, as well as the results, schedule (34th AC), and teams, etc. I will provide the apk + data if any body wants it to side load and play with it.
