Quick question that google doesn't appear to be able resolve: If I subscribe to Eurosport Player is the Giro highlights programme available to view at my leisure (on demand) as I won't be able to view the 1800 or the 2330 slots.

Thanks in advance

    Pretty sure it's just 'live' programming...

    Beware. There are a lot of problems going on there.
    Check out the forums to see.

    It was only live programming when I had it last for skiing back in February.

    They do have the video eventually but sans sound. But a watch again a la iPlayer no. I've had Eurosport player for a couple of years now. You do need some pooter grunt to run it but it beats the **** out of ITV(non)player or Cycling TV. As usual M/soft buggers it around Silverlite especially so I run it in Chrome or Mozzarella

    Hello,

    Thank you for your enquiry.

    Due to rights restrictions, many of the cycling events are not available as Video on Demand. However, repeats and highlights are broadcast throughout the event. Please refer to schedules for more information.

    Best regards,
    The Eurosport Player team.

    Odd, since with Sky+ I can do exactly what they suggest I'm not allowed to do. I unsubscribed, it's pretty useless.

    Yep, it's a good service for watching live but the on demand stuff, with no sound, is pretty pointless.

    I spent ages last year trying to figure out if there was a way to record the Eurosport player footage but never got it to work. If you leave the coverage running all day it eventually stops until you click on the play button again. I found a little program that could keep clicking on the play button automatically, and another program that could record video footage from a predefined area of the screen at a particular time.

    It didn't work, for reasons I never quite figured out.
