I'd have thought allowing the top bods to participate in the BH-12 hr would allow some underlings to show themselves and their talents? I have watched some of the V8SC on the 71 Motors channel over here on Freeview. Seemed OK, but I have no interest in any one driver. However, they mute the sound too much, so you only hear the fuel pump whine from inside the car, not the exhaust howl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Motors TV is funking stupid channel. It works fine on Sky, and it is on freeview/sat too, but very few freeview/sat boxes can actually display the channel. On my LG TV, I can hear it, but not see it, the Panasonic won't show it at all, and on the BT vision/YouView box you get nothing. I did a bit of research on't net, and it seems they broadcast in a standard most TV's or boxes do not support. What's the point of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 It shows fine on my Panny plasma. Normal integrated Freeview HD. Will try it on the additional Freesat box I have plugged in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Doesn't blooming work on my Panny Plasma, it has freeview and freesat built in. Bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lussac Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Not on my 46" Panny Plasma either (built-in Freeview/Freesat). What's the channel number by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Channel 71 in the East of England, so might be different numbers where yous are. Sounds like very different signal strengths too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipex Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Just to drag up the Motors TV thing again, it seems to have been kind of fixed. At least on the BT TV box anyway, channel 240, and it brings up a text page, which tells you to press the red button when the logo appears, and then the channel works as you'd expect, it is delivered via the Internet connection rather than over the air. Which means if you have a Freeview box or TV that doesn't have have an Internet connection, you still probably won't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanKHotay Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 First Ford pulled out, now it sounds like Volvo will pull out in 2016 due to "...motorsport being incapatible with Volvo brand." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-bmw Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Is that similar to incompatible? Ok, I'll get me coat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 First Ford pulled out, now it sounds like Volvo will pull out in 2016 due to "...motorsport being incapatible with Volvo brand." What they mean, is that a 4 cylinder turbo engine will not cut it in a field of V6 & V8s. Vovlo seem to think that 4 cylinders is all you need.
