You'll never see him while triple-checking your
camera; he's not in there, just like the gents
you see on television aren't actually in the
little glass-front box.

I prefer to listen to a commentator who's actually watching the race.

Well I think David Duffield is great. One of my biggest regrets is
when I saw him at
Paris-Nice 3 years ago and was going to get my picture taken, but my
camera
had run out of batteries. Every year since then I've been triple
checking my camera,
but haven't seen him.

I think Brian Smith is very good. Very insightful at times and I like
his dry Scottish humor. I won't argue about the other guy.

Well I was comparing it to Duffield on Eurosport! At least they were
talking about the race.
I do prefer RAI for commentaries but the weather here was too bad today
to go out & move my dish to RTBF so the PC was the best answer...

That Duffield Wanker?? I just can't believe they gave him a job as a
commentator
He sure must give good blow jobs
He was an Idiot of the First Water when I knew him 50+ years ago
And according to my friend Suzy from Up North in Gif/Yvette who
unfortunately has no choice for many of the events, he's got
worse over the years
Luckily I have never seen or heard him in the last half Century

Just for interest, was it the RTFB feed they were showing with their
own commentary superimposed on the video?
I'm rewatching it now having recorded it earlier from RTFB-SAT which
costs €0.99 per month which isn't bad as I can cancel anytime
I couldn't find a Free channel carrying it unfortunately
Nor does it look like RAI is covering Laigueglia tomorrow

RTBF-SAT is free-to-air to most of Europe at 19east, service 61998.
Cycling.tv on the other hand, is useless on most computer platforms.
Javascript and proprietary plugins everywhere.

What good is satellite if you can not receive it? I'm in Boston. Nor do I
have a big dish with a digital decoder.

Sure, RTBF-Sat from 19east is no good for non-Europeans, but the PP who wrote
about there being no free channel seemed to be posting from a European site.
You don't say which Boston you're in. I'm not sure what the best options
are for Boston MA. RTBF-Sat is fine for Boston, England and doesn't
need a big dish. A mini-dish, small boom antenna or other disguised antenna
should be enough. DVB-S decoder required, but that's more standard than
cycling.tv's horrors.
Hope that helps,

I'm in Boston, MA. So, no. I can't get RTBF-ST. I would really be
interested in getting European satellites, but the footprint of most
doesn't overlap here.

Unfortunately I am tied to my ISP for TV service and they want €0.99 a
month to feed me RTFB-SAT
I'll cancel the end of this month though as I shall be away in April

Of course. Isn't that always the way it works? One feed for all. In this
case it was the VRT, not RTBF.
