hi wondered if you could help. I have until recently watched cycling coverage on Eurosport International commentary with David Harmon @ Sean Kelly. This transmission has been switched off in its present form and I wondered if you have information,knowledge or advice you could offer on how to continue receiving the E.S. international transmission with messers Harmon Kelly et.al. perhaps new eqp. etc. I am sure i am not the only cycling weekly reader and viewer caught in this position so could be an issue of interest for other readers. I would be very grateful if you could offer any help or guidance on how to proceed. Many Thanks, Dennis mccracken.
