I love watching the TT, but don't want to wait months for HDNet to broadcast. Anyone know how I can watch British coverage here in the states?

Would like to know too.

there should be something on the BBC Iplayer . not sure if you can access that from america though . there wont be anything on for another 6 weeks , it doesn't get that much tv coverage

You can't get BBC iPlayer (TV) in the US direct, but if you can find a UK based 'proxy server' it would be possible. If you find a free one let me know please then I could watch some decent TV when next visiting my daughter.

I don’t know of any live TV coverage of the racing but ITV not the BBC do a daily highlights show late evening for an hourso your best bet is Manx radio as they do great coverage on AM Waveband all day, follow the links below.

I’ll be on the island camping for race week and if I can sort out some internet I’ll post some video and photos if you want to see anything in particular.

It doesn't always work and it may take some searching but it is free.

Hi Dave, yes a good point about the barge, very entertaining program though. Saw him at Cadwell last year at the BSB round practice day, looked at his bike at post practice scrutineering and his front tyre was in the wrong way round

it was a damp session with intermediate tyres.

Blimey, I hope he got the tyre sorted out! I'm off to see TT3D on Saturday night, I've got to pay extra for glasses, glad I wont need them june for the real deal.

Hello Simon, I’m sure I’ll enjoy the film, love him or hate him I just think he’s barking mad, as for all the blokes and girls that go around the Island, my hat is raised . I’m looking forward to a good week of racing and good weather.. oh and the odd pint!
Cheers

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/northern_ireland/bikes/default.stm

More practice Thursday 19th and live racing on the BBC red button Saturday 21st.

the Australians probably get it right on the regular channels huh? just like all the other motorcycle stuff they get and we don't.
the NW200 is just about as cool a race as the Isle seems like everyone gets kinda ready for the Isle with that one.
is that under and same organization as the Isle y'all have like a road race league or somfin?
still cant sort out where to watch it on the damn american central time tv!

Use the BBC feed for NW200 and Manx radio for the IOM TT for live stuff, the video will turn up on TV later in the year in your part of the world.

no they are separate organizations , there is a roadrace championship [ well several , for different classes ] but all the races are held in ireland .

Well Merv gave it his best attempt to get the racing on again but it was just one of those day's, lessons for next years event will have been thought about and lets hope implemented. I hope the TT has better luck and better weather, roll on next Friday and my ferry is not cancelled like they have been today!

Cheers

Dave
