You can get it on subcription over the inernet 4 yoyo per month. or www.Cycling.tv will have it.

You've uncovered a new business idea for me. I'll just go draft my resignation now.

Cycling.tv will probably only have it for North American customers. If it's on Eurosport, they generally don't have the rights for Europe.

Hook your laptop up to the tv and bobs your uncle. We did it for the Paris Roubaix and it was grand.

Quick question re. Eurosport Player? Is everything broadcast available as on-demand, i.e. if I miss a race live can I watch it later on?

Might be handy for events like the Giro when they sometimes show bits on Eurosport 2 (which NTL doesn't carry).

No. They only have the rights to host certain things on their on-demand section. usually they don't have whatever license is required for any cycling. Just emailed them last week about it.

Still though - the online thing is pretty good. it beats me having to get digital - the only reason I'd get it is for cycling.

Trying to figure a decent way of being able to record the live stream. I've tried a couple of screen recorders but it isn't the most reliable/graceful set up.

Thanks Aidan.

So if I have Eurosport, then there's little point to subscribing to the player.

I lnow that I will probably get some stick for getting the leaders jersey, but I couldn't resist buying:
Giro D'Italia 2009 Overall/Pink Jersey - Short Sleeve

Maglia Rosa - designed by Dolce & Gabbana for 2009

I now need a pink bike!!!!
