  1. I'm wondering how OLN is picking up the Eurosport transmission and transmitting it live to the US. I think there is a satellite whose footprint includes part of the east coast here in the US Anybody know if OLN is utilizing this? I believe it exists. I'm not sure if the programming is scrambled however. I'm thinking it's the only way possible that OLN can transmit the signal here.

    It would be nice to dump this OLN Troutwig and Roll's 'Lance is God' BS and watch some decent impartial cycling coverage for a change.

  2. Stop watching the evening coverage, and tape the live morning show with Phil and Paul instead. Much better. Save that evening show for your non-cycling friends.

    everyone who is complaining about the evening coverage needs to try this
    at least once.

  4. Watch the live morning coverage then.

    No doubt the feed is encrypted digital, so forget about snooping the signal
    directly unless you've got deep pockets to buy the professional equipment.

    Uh, huh, but Paul and Phil know a lot more cyclists than I do, and
    have a better eye for picking out the sixth or seventh guy of the
    team. Hell, I'm still trying to get all the blue/navy blue uniforms
    separated this year. Depending on the angle, the guy I think is George
    Hincapie keeps turning into some foreigner...
