I live in a rural area where cable will never be available. I know I can
get Speed in a package with Dish Network, but I don't want all the other
channels that it comes bundled with. Is there any way to get just Speed
Channel with a large dish? Thanks.

It's worth the money...I couldn't live without it...hell, we named one
of the cats SPEED...(other one is Espn...)...
You sir are a loser (in my gruffest Father knows best voice)......j/k
BTW, I agree - without SPEED I wouldn't bother with TV except for news.

Have you checked out DirecTV? That is what we have.
I got it with Direct TV. I like sports in general and they offer many
packages. I got the FSN package (costs about the same as one premium
channel) and get about as much as I need, more than I need according to my
wife.........:-). Direct TV just announced a premium service for Nascar with
in-car cameras and radio for next season through ESPN/ABC. Our ABC affiliate
does not have HD yet, but ESPN will be all HD. Hopefully Speed Channel will
go HD soon. That would be great.

No wait a minute, it's that feck'in guy with the handlebar mustache!
No wait it's that NOPI program that's the worse.
See what I mean? feck'in BULLSHIT!
I just download all the racing I want to see from TV caps mostly EuroSport
TV, No commercials and less babbling overpaid announcers.
I USED to like the genre shows, like Two-Guys Garage and Dream-Car Garage,
but over the last two years they have basically turned into infomercials for
their sponsors. Hardly any process at all is shown any more.
Their live racing coverage is actually pretty decent.
Right now, it's a Ghost town. Will probably be that way until next year.
Best genre show they had, bar none, was that UK show 5th Gear. That was an
awesome show. The people had character, and were a blast to watch.
Don't know why we don't get it any more :(
Unique Whips? Now there we can definitely agree. The only thing
fascinating about that show is waiting to see what dumb-ass thing Willie
will say or do next. I'd be able to work for that smart-ass for about 5
minutes before punching his lights out, and I am not a *** man ! That
guy has no respect for anyone.
I remember that one show where a Cadillac Escalade wiring harness went
missing. He made everyone in the shop pitch in like $50 bucks to pay for
the replacement. Several times the camera's showed that HE was the one that
threw it in the trash, and at one point you could tell on his face that he
realized he was the one that did it. And he STILL didn't let the others off
the hook. What a bastaad.

Forgot about the F1 coverage. I'm mainly peeved that my cable company
doesn't carry Speed. I do miss the WRC coverage, d/l divx files via file
sharing just isn't the same.
