Anyone have any tips for getting non-live TV coverage of the giro on the web in English, i.e. comprehensive highlights or recorded live footage? I don't want to watch it live during the day at the weekend when it's sunny out, and I'm always busy during the week. Not being able to watch the CyclingTV highlights is doing my head in, I haven't seen any of the stages. And now it looks like it's getting interesting...

Anyone managed to record the footage from the NRK/Eurosport player on cyclingfans?

    :shock: :shock:

    You can?? Do you have to subscribe to the Giro channel? Didn't work for me when I tried (I have a subscription to the Premium channel).

    Cycling TV has a separate Giro package I believe

    Yup, but it's advertised as only available to U.S./Canada customers and priced in dollars. Maybe it's possible to buy it anyway from Europe, but with the limitation that you can't watch live? Or perhaps the Giro is included in some of the other (non-U.S. only) packages and that provides a loophole?

    pottssteve, can I ask what packages you subscribe to and where you are?
