I wish I could comment on the TV coverage. Had a nightmare this afternoon.

So, I had a shift in my Ladbrokes shop today, 0730-1700. Behind the counter we did have four monitors two showing whatever we choose, normal TV, which also feed to the shop floor. The shop floor we have like a dozen screens, two really big ones that show the Racing. Two of the smaller screens show whatever the cashier decides. Last Sunday if you walked into my Shop two of the screens would have had Paris-Roubaix on.

The other two monitors behind the counter show prices and also the racing feed from the two big screens on the shop floor if one presses the appropriate button.

This set up has changed with an upgrade in our TV gantry. The screens are all bigger and the four monitors behind the counter are bigger and have HD. However, two of them ONLY have price info now, no TV/racing feed. The other two which normally have SKY on still do, but the channel is chosen by someone in head office. Today, they decided frigging IPL Cricket was more appropriate for us than ITV Racing or even the Masters. So I missed all the Racing.
