    It's all on www.freecaster.tv - and it's better coverage, by far, than we've ever had on telly.

    Extreme channel on Sky (channel 419) sometimes shows some old programs on mountain biking but nowhere near enough.

    I tried it, but I kept falling off.

    I'll go now.

    It's fine most of the time, and even when it's glitchy, it's still better than anything we've ever had on television.

    Get a TiVo box and stick "Mountain biking"; "Mountain bike" etc. in your key words and every now and then it will record something good... 8)

    Extreme sports (419) sometimes shows older mountain biking stuff. A lot of things from 2008-2009 etc and some old transrockies events from 04-07.

    They don't show too much now though.

    Best is freecaster.
    Constantly trying to upgrade my parts.It is a long road ahead as things are so expensive for little gain. n+1 is always the principle in my mind.

    I'd like to see that. It's very wet there right now so should be interesting.
    Many happy trails!
