Any outlets for watching racing on the net?
We've started to evaluate our satellite costs. Now with running two businesses we don't watch TV as much as we used to.
NBC, Fox, and other stations now offer HD feed's off their website which look amazingly good. We can watch shows at our convience. Other shows I'd buy of iTunes. For an entire season of shows that we'd watch I'd be spending $130 for the HD versions, versus $80 per month on sat.
The big hold up....racing...F1 just started and I pay a big premium to get Speed HD simply for F1.
Ala carte programming for us is a much better way to go but we want to see the races.
Not some youtube quality torrent but something watchable. The NBC HD feeds off their site and through NBC Direct are good enough for us to watch in the bedroom, in fact they really are near HD.
If I can figure out the racing portion of it I figure we can save ourselves $600 per year.
We don't need to watch them live but would like to see them same day.

I download HD quality torrents of F1 races every week from a private site. PM me if you want the link. There is a little compression loss on the videos, but they look fine on my 61" TV.
