It's showing as no cycling on show at the moment. Are they not covering Criterium Dauphine??

    Yup, I saw there was no cycling content too, but caught the 'live' showing yesterday of the criterium. It often takes a few days before the vids show, and then not always. Keep trying.

    And stage 3 is showing right now on sport 2 - 10-11pm. Guess that'll be the time every night.

    Its listed on British Eurosport but stage 3 is being shown on Friday so there's a serious delay - still nothing on the player, just the TV channels

    The Live content and highlights are on (just finished watching today's). No previous videos though. Not sure why that is.

    Never thought I would say this but I will be subscribing to Sky for next year. Eurosport Player just doesn't work for me, video on demand is always days behind so you hear the results, often stages are missing. You can't download the videos and watch them later. Shame because it streams OK and works on a technical level but it just doesn't cut it in practical terms.

    Eurosport Player is more of an alternative to live TV than a full on-demand service, except that you can pause, and rewind up to 3 hours. For £2.99/month its great.

    Yeah, its cheap alright but unless you are sitting in front of it when the programme is aired then it isn't much good. Rewinding 3 hours is only available from a PC (or maybe a Mac) but not from iOS devices.

    For me, 10 times the price to be able to record the programme is well worth it.

    Never mind. I'm being a moron as usual. Saw Eurosport thought Virgin media as that's what I get it through :roll:

    The lack of on demand is annoying. Dauphine highlights are not on till after midnight tonight, so I will be watching it on YouTube :|

    What really grinds my gears though, is when you plan your day around it, and it's not on at the time stated in the schedule (which never gets updated when it's wrong either)! This happens a LOT.

    I 'think' you are better off using the schedule on the main Eurosport website. Shouldn't have to of course.
