    Verizon 583 was SpeedHD, now Fox1HD...and I still get it. Happily, they are scheduled to show Moto2 and 3 and MotoGP tomorrow. Unhappily, I will probably be away from my tv at that time.

    Re: WTF comcast dropped the speed channel?

    Speed sucked cause it was non-High def on my comcast, meanwhile my friend would be watching the same show on FIOS in total HD. I called them a bunch of times to complain how awful it looked non hd and how can you have a motor sports channel in standard def. I would watch speed shows that in the corner it said speed HD, ummm no. I wont miss it.

    I think it may be more like the Speed channel ceased to exist? I'm on RCN and we got Fox Sports now instead too. Got to watch last night's UFC on it though, so no complaints here.

    Recorded all the Motogp on the new Fox1 channel. They are making an effort to educate the uninitiated. Good for them! Liking it a lot so far....

    You know you could all just get the Motogp.com package and watch everything without any shitty Speed / Fox Sports 1 aftertaste.
