TV coverage

So you have to pay for it, which was my point.
I don't pay for Virgin or Sky. I get all the Irish channels, all the British FTA channels. If I wanted to get Sky Racing I'd have to pay extra.
How am I supposed to know? All I know is there's no monthly bill for me unless I pay extra for RTV or Sky Sports online. No matter what happens if I want to watch racing I have to pay for it. So you saying, "it's on the free channel" is blatantly wrong.
I get it ‘free’ with my Virgin over here, in good ol’ England.
Racing TV is a complete separate package and is £25 a month.

I take it you understood the point of the coverage being prioritsed on one channel and not given the time of day on another
I understand "coverage being prioritised on one channel and not given the time of day on another" is something people have said. I never had ATR or watched much Irish racing on Sky. I have the web stream of RTV and I choose the individual Irish broadcasts. My complaint with that is the stream can sometimes be unreliable and the interface dodgy. When I've been in the pub I've seen the split screen on RTV and it annoys me.
Is it prioritised more? I don't know. I wasn't talking about that at all. I was saying that no matter which way you split it I'll have to pay if I want to watch racing at home. I take it you understood that point.
Sky racing is part of the bundle. Racing TV isn't. Simples.
Grey - I only pay 12 extra pm for RTV, but I'm a Sky subsciber - all bells and whistles included. I'd prefer it to revert back, although I do think Gary O'Brien is the finest link man for racing on any channel.

Wonderful camera work there in the 12.40 at Catterick. Completely forgot to show the winner from the last flight until 10M before the line. Up close on the runner up despite the excitable commentator calling the other one home. FFS.

He said during the race that Aidan Coleman should pull Paisley Park up after getting left at the start. Aidan just left it to Paisley who picked up the bridle and won with his ears pricked....quite possibly the nicest, most publicly appreciated winner I have seen all season. He got three cheers in the winning enclosure....how often does that happen for a horse?

I'm a great believer in the intelligence of horses.
I hope that reception registered with Paisley Park and that he goes forward on it.
Reminded me of Golden Thursday.

I loved the interview with Aiden after where he said he just threw the reins at him after the first and told him to do it himself if he wants to get back into it, “I’m not helping you, you’ve already annoyed me” [emoji1787][emoji1787]

Delighted for Aidan ,Emma , Andrew and team Paisley Park.
Thought the horse had a right chance : I missed start of race; would have done a Ruby otherwise !
