    You can watch Eurosport online for about 4 quid a month.
    Scottish and British...and a bit French

    I have my pc hardwired to my tv and use either cycling fans or my p2p, but i am thinking about the eurosport £4/monthly option for the major classics, during the recent xmas period have enjoyed following the cross races in belgium nxt up rotterdam 6 day starting to-morrow and the belgian national cross race at the weekend

    Thanks Guys.

    Ive taken a look at Virgin, but it looks like you have to take a 160 channel bundle in order to get Eurosport in highb def. Is it possible to get the high def signal from an ordinary sat reciever, ie not sky/virgin, and just pay for trhe channel you want.

    Get yourself a Motorized dish and reciever. Probably cost about £400 to completely set-up but once its done you will have more cycling that you can even watch plus you get Eurosport HD2

    You can point a sky size dish at 19.2e and get a simple receiver box (on ebay or even B&Q) and you'll get Eurosport Germany for 100% free.

    If you want English comm, i recommend their webplayer.

    Yup, can echo postive votes for Eurosport player - I've been using this for about a year now, and it's great value at the £4 or whatever it is a month. Stream/picture quality very good, and seriously worth it to avoid the Chuckle Brothers on ITV4 without stumping up a fortune to Sky.
    Am surprised more subscription satellite channels don't go down this route, TBH.

    Sky lets you record it much more easily...

    For the races you watch live, it's Eurosport HD, with Sporza commentary off some illegal live-feed! :D

    I was going to join BT Vision untill they said they didn't cover Eurosport, which was a deal breaker.
