    A new year,and tv racing fans get a new kick in the kisser.
    I refer to no more Irish racing on Sky Sports Racing,formerly At The Races.
    It now costs 31 Euro,per month,minimum 12 months contract,to watch horse racing from Irish tracks.
    This is the price Racing UK charges.
    Granted,you get UK racing,but,that is not the point.
    Being taken for suckers,AGAIN.

    Don’t think it’s free for the month, my RTV just switched off and asking me to upgrade.

    I'm not enjoying RTV at all, seems very rushed. That could be down to the bank holiday but it seems they just want to cram in as much as possible.

    Its not down to the bank holiday, they are just like that. Rushed and bad coverage. It is a lot worse during the flat season.

    Went to watch Irish racing replays as I missed them earlier.

    I have to pay for this now with Racing TV?

    Is there anywhere else I can watch full replays?



    Also anyone know why I cant watch previous races on bet365? When you clicked the "i" icon it gave a list of the last few replays

    between youtube (w/o ads) and atr and god knows what else it fairly adds up....add spotify, netflix etc etc which most probably have at this stage

    not worth it imo, i'd pay for ruk quicker

    iptv for the win

    Are there no dodgy streamers for racing as there is for just about every football match (yes I know we're not allowed to talk about it!)

    Anyone else find Jamie Lynch ex timeform analyst, a very hard watch??. He jabbers on and on and on, he will make this channel sky sports racing even harder to watch. With the Irish racing gone and new graphics package, the world of racing for punters has gone backwards in my opinion.

    Clowns defending it, wow who could possibly have foreseen a race every 6 minutes when you have bought rights for circa 83 racecourses and only have one channel to show them on.
