Can you get Eurosport 2 on UPC?

I missed the 125cc and 250cc GP on sunday....had a look on eurosport website and it was on Eurosport 2

The tax man

Simple answer is no.

Skyhater

As a matter of interest, does anybody know why?

Sky don't have an exclusive agreement because it's on Virgin Media in the UK. So it must come down to one of two things:
1) Costs too much (Which I doubt)
2) UPC are too lazy to sort it all out. (More probable)

decies

Not to mention the pga golf on eurosport 2 ,its some cod,it dissapeared off the listings for 10 years or so,and when it comes back all we get is eurosprt 1 :mad:

I'd say the same with Living 2. UPC simply can't supply a complete channel line up.

Well, they have limited bandwidth available and therefore physically can't include everything without lowering the bit rates and degrading the picture quality even further of what's there already. The minority channels are already pretty squeezed in there with regards to bit rates anyway, plus there's the cost for them to think about too.

Why bother with all the +1's then. They are trying to flog the digital + anyway

I quite agree, a total waste of time. Get rid of them.

UPC has plenty of spare capacity to carry Eurosport 2,Living 2,Bravo 2 & Watch

Just to avoid any doubt : They have 4 channels on black on the EPG, then add in all the dropped channels over the last year - M&M,ABC1,Bubble Hits,Flaunt,Scuzz,Amp,Jetix,Performance,PPV EPL and radio channels Kerrang ,Smash Hits etc etc

I was about to tell you to stop messing and posting such rubbish.

Sweet jesus it's up and running. That's made me one very happy camper:). Like the OP I've missed too much motorsport coverage this year.

BTW it's also on MMDS.

Delighted to have Eurosport 2, being a tennis fan, I am really happy with this news

An Tarbh

really pleased with this, only saw it today, as I normally have the box set on the favourite channels. Anyway good to have the PGA Tour back on tv, was good having the eurosport player but I could only watch a regular stream on the lower settings. Shame ESPN picked up the Top 14 though.

Nice to have ESPN Classic as well.
