Can I get it on Freeview? I think the answer is no, but wondered if there's a way. I don't want a satellite dish, and we don't have cable. All I want to do is sign up for Eurosport so I can watch the Giro.

a satellite reciever that you can recieve free to air programmes from any chosen satellite.
hotbird or thor are 2 good satellites to prime a dish on.

Ah, I see thanks. To be honest we don't want a satellite dish outside the house. None of our neighbours have, and we wouldn't want to be the first.

This might be a daft question, but is the live streaming actually, well you know, live? Problem is most stages are during the day when I'm at work. It would be nice to be able to watch them again at night.

Signed up for online viewing for Paris-Roubaix at £3.99/month. You can cancel at any time. Couldn't find any free online streaming at the time.

Looks like there are plenty of highlights on in the evening on the [url= http://video.eurosport.co.uk/eurosport-player/tvschedule.shtml ]Eurosport schedule[/url]

Yes, but problem is I don't think the Eurosport Player gives you access to highlights, just the live streaming during the day.

Can you record the streaming video - anyone know what format Eurosport uses?
