I cycle into a tropical sunrise every morning, along a coastal road lined with coconut and giant banyan trees (full of fruit bats), lookung out to the waves breaking on the reef and the horizon dotted with islets.

It's mid winter here at the moment and I still get up a sweat at 4.30am (24ºC) in a thin, sleeveless jeresy.

I think I'll stay here for now... but thanks for the offer.

(Mark - I live in the Fiji Islands)

Have you check Satcodx.Com ? There /may/ be a Eurosport beam
which reaches your island ...

Sorry, spotted this too late to be able to help you.

I have been capturing the Eurosport coverage to hard disc,
and could easily have burned DVDs for you, but as I have
finite disc capacity I erase everything but the previous
day's each night, so most of the coverage has already gone
to the great bit-bin in the sky ...

Let me know by personal e-mail if you'd like DVDs next
year, and if it's still possible I'll be happy to burn
them for you.

Just a thought... what about the Tour de France????

Dominic Sansom said:

No problem. I still have stages 18, 19 & 20 if you need
them, and if you can tell me your latitude/longitude I
should be able to tell you what satellite beams could be
received with a modest-sized dish.

I have last years on DVD... but I'd be happy to pay for media and postage for this years. I've been trying to get the local TV station to re-broadcast the highlights but I don't think I'm making much headway. There's only a handful of serious roadies in Fiji and we're hungry for any sort of Road Bike stuff (mags, DVDs etc).

Suva, Fiji 178ºE 18ºS.

I've already agreed to record a number of the key stages
for an Alaskan journalist, so it shouldn't be a lot of
extra work to make a second copy. The only problems that I
foresee are
(1) equipment failure (one never knows ...), and
(2) the possibility that I may be away at some point during
the race, as I have at most 20 hours recording capacity
before I need to flush to DVD.

If neither of those occur, all should be well.

Don't forget to let me know your latitude/longitude so that
I can check which satellite beams reach you ...

Thanks a bunch!

Hmm, pretty poor location satellite-wise, Dominic :
you /can/ get Eurosport France there, but you'd need a
five-metre dish. Guess that rules it out (it would for
most people).

P.S. You didn't say whether you would like stages 18, 19 &
20 of the Giro : I need to tidy up my hard disc, so
need to know whether to copy these to DVD for you (it
would require five DVDs) or just junk them ...

Dont worrry about the Giro DVD.
Thanks for the feed info I'll pass it on to FijiTV maybe they can grab it and put it on late at night.
I (we.. all the Fiji Roadies) really appreciate your help.

OK, good luck with the feed, and best wishes to all the Fiji
roadies! ** Phil.

P.S. Forgot to give you the satellite/beam/etc details :

Intelsat 701 @ 180E
satcodx5.comengOpen ↗ TV-DIG-CRYPT 61
10.975 H Eurosport France INT701GL MPG2 MGRD 30000
3/4 161 84

The beam map, at

satcodx-op.comINT701GL.jpgOpen ↗

may be wrong : it says C-band only, whereas
Eurosport France is definitely Ku-band.
