Hi guys, I've just upgraded to virgin's XL cable TV service.

Does anyone know if there are any mountain bike TV programs on amongst this seemiingly infinite range of garbage?

Cheers
Neil

    I have seen one channel called the Extreme Channel. Dont know which channel number it is, but it does have as seen it myself has got Mountain Biking on there. Need to get the number to see what number it is. Have looked recently in the TV guide book they have either changed the name of the channel or it has stayed the same but have not put it in the TV guide.

    It's below Eurosport in the program guide. It isn't very good and rarely shows any mountain biking.

    The Extreme channel isn't very good when they're not showing any mountain biking on it. However, on occasion they do show Nissan UCI championship races, and sometimes they'll have a whole series of shows on all day long, ime Sundays are the best day for catching it.

    There's really crap all MTB on telly of worth.

    However the best channel for all this "extreme" and similar stuff is Rush HD. However it's HD only.

    Still fairly rubbish and little MTB on it, but it's better than the others.

    Far better stuff on the net with the likes of Vimeo, Pinkbike & YouTube.
