I'M SO HAPPY YOU GOT THEIR LOUSY SITE TO WORK FOR YOU.
Me, I gave up after three hours. That included downloading new browser software, upgrading a whole bunch of other software, in case some of that was holding me back and following the useless suggestions of one of the FOX IT nerds, who I pestered until it became obvious he had no clues.
SO, I missed the best part of the race, the part where most of the action is, the run into the night. I recorded the rest on FXS1 and FXS2, and following that was an exercise in frustration. Glad I recorded everything manually, as if I'd just recorded "Le Mans" coverage I'd have missed half of it.
The production was the worst I've seen in a long time. It sure was nice to know that they could give me the top four in a class, once an hour or two, but could never bother to include their lap counts in their graphics. Yeah, I could almost read the scrolling bull**** at the bottom of the screen and figure it out for myself, but that was just as likely to be baseball scores.
It sure was nice to know the winner of the MotoGP race, before I watched it. Truth is, I almost forgot who it was, when I had to wade through a third of the recorded MotoGP program, to find the start of the MotoGP race in the midst of the Le Mans footage.
I enjoy Sam Posey as much as the next guy, but if they repeated his diatribe one more time I was going to chuck a shoe through the TV screen. At least I was spared Justin's yearly stroll through the drunks.
I could go on for days, but I just don't give a **** at this point. The highlight of my TV viewing year, wasted by some worthless ******* in a programming committee meeting.
