  1. Page won't even load half the time, when it does it is slow as [censored]
    and can't load the login page.

    So happy I paid for this to watch the races.

  2. you're watching online right? call the cable people. you know
    broadband? your rig isn't picking up enough coded bits to asemble the
    information. try a different port. the input system may have 2-3 types
    of ports, one more effective for reassembling the bits into
    information.
    I'm using Vista. Vista tells me what to do, which is not repeatable
    here, when a low bit count is counted by the bit wizard. It sez, move
    cable to another port and start over.

  3. and avoid asking the system for extra tasks while watching. check that
    in the task manager area.
    also possible-accessing the material at 3AM, leaving the system on for
    whenever time the race programing material is sent your way.
    turn down the screen bit count, color choices, simplyfy

    They have a great idea but nobody to execute it. I thought when they
    got bought out that it might improve. Guess not.

  5. Cycling.tv sucks ass!

    I stopped my perscription because of their technical problems and zero
    customer service.

    The only way they'll get it is if you send 100s of e-mails and then stop
    your subscription.

    I doubt that they'll ever be ready for pime time if they haven't fixed their
    problems by now.

    For HV and KBK I was getting 800kb feed with no problems at all. My
    subscription ran out the day after KBK. They raised the prices and I
    will not pay $100/year. I've seen too many issues in the last year
    (mostly regarding pop-up ads) to sink more money into their product.

    Read through the comments. Way more anguish about the service than comments
    about the race. The last two days of Paris - Niece were decent but literally
    everything else this year - in terms of media delivery- has been a technical
    disaster. Emails to tech support are simply ignored. Subscriptions are set
    to auto-renew, requires intervention by the subscriber after the fact to
    change.

    People keep paying them - what incentive is there to improve? They'll
    probably carry on milking cycling fans for a few years, then change
    name and/or get sold and try it again.

    Anyone in Europe really should try DVB-Satellite instead IMO. Maybe
    not quite all the same races, but ~EUR120 to buy, then free.
