    F1 on speed Blacked out in Canada.

    Well the final nail in the coffin for Speed I called bell to cancel my subscription this morning when I came to watch practice only to see a Program Blackout Notice.

    SPEED MARCH 2009 BLACKOUT SCHEDULE for F1 (in Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean)
    26-Mar Practice Australia GP 01:30-03:00ET Canada
    27-Mar Qualifying Australia GP 02:00-03:30ET Canada
    28-Mar Pre-Race & Race Australia GP 01:30-04:00ET Canada
    29-Mar Encore Australia GP 15:30-17:00ET Canada

    How far Speedvision has fallen since the golden days of Super Touring, WRC and MotoGP racing. Now all we are left with is the knuckle draggers of Nascar, bull run and pimp my ride.


    Now what to do with the extra $8 per month.

    It was on (I have the overpriced Cogeco), and I watched some of the practice early this morning. I agree...way too much Nascar on Speed.

    I realized years ago that there really was nothing I found interesting on tv so I canceled everything and haven't looked back.

    I watch it on TSN, although I don't like the broadcasters, but what can I do? Speed broadcasters are way better IMO.

    Speed has got 18 hrs of LeMans this weekend

    Please PM me with any events that you think Ontario LXer's might be interested in.

    A true hot rodder wouldn't be content until he had created a car so violent, so hairy, so totally sick that the very act of dropping the hammer would result in instant death. Anything less results in the need to go faster.

    Heading that way soon myself...

    With all the digital capabilities today, why can't they offer "Alacarte" programming?! I would happily pay $20/mo. for the 10-15 channels I actually want to watch! I REFUSE to pay $70-120/mo. for 250 channels I DON'T want!!

    I watch enough movies on the DVD player, or downloads on the computer that I really don't use the "TV" channels much at all anymore.
