    Bike races on TV...

    Can you guys tell me which package we need to subscribe to (with Comcast) in order to be able to see the races?? Now that we have a big screen with HD TV and we are using Comcast digital, I'd love to be able to watch bike races. Is there any regular channel that will show them anyway? (I don't think so...) What channel are they on?

    Yeah, but I don't think Speed is in HD yet. I could be wrong.

    V the comcast package that contains Speed is called "Sports Entertainment Pack". It was $8/month for me to add it to my cable.

    There is no bike racing in HD as far as I know, and Speed doesn't have an HD channel anyway.

    It seems like very little of motorsport is available in HD because HDTV adoption in other markets is very low.

    NASCAR is on TV in HD I think but not on speed, and it's only available in HD because the main market for NASCAR is the US. For anything that is primarily of interest to non-US markets it makes no sense for them to invest in HD equipment.

    Comcast's lineup is pretty annoying for HD IMO in terms of how they let you pick channels.

    For example I get duplicates of the same channel, one in SD and one in HD showing the exact same thing. And Comcast won't give me the option to only get the HD channel and save some money.

    We just switched to Verizon for cable TV. We're paying less and getting more.

    Ok, so you can't get Speed on HD, neither with Comcast or any other Network for that matter. Nice.

    BadBoyBilly, do you have the package with all 3 services? With Comcast, we have TV, phone, and highspeed internet. They say we save some $$...but if I remember right, it cost about $120/month...somewhere in that range...

    Yes we use Verizon for all 3. I forget what the overall bill is. I'd have to check it out when I go home.

    But we do save money and we're getting more.

    yes crap but I have to admit that since
    Juan Pablo Montoya has crossed over that I am a bit curious
    to see how he does.
