    Hockey has delayed the cycling coverage on nbc sports AGAIN. I hate hockey.

    I think this could be a problem with the Tour of Romandie coverage this week, too.

    - Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
    - Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    I don't mind them delaying for a game, but delaying for a post game wrap up show is annoying. I fell asleep right before the win.

    I don't like it when they delay for hockey either, but almost understand, but also agree that it is worse when it is for a post game wrap up especially as they tend (except for the TDF) not to extend the cycling programming for even the presentations sometimes. That being said, I do make try to remember to extend my recording to an hour or so past the time the cycling is scheduled to end.

    Thumbs down

    warning: do NOT purchase the online viewing "package" thru universal. i have in years past and enjoyed it.

    they changed the website so you can't find the videos.
    you click on the link and it says to find videos in your library (link) but library link goes nowhere.
    the confirmation email doesn't tell you where to go find the real-time videos
    i can no longer easily find or maybe they don't save the videos if i couldn't cath the real-time one
    the site seems to keep logging me out..

    and they won't refund my money. they've been "actively researching how to refund" for 3 weeks!! i requested refund same day or next day cuz i missed the paris roubaix and wanted to watch in my free time...

    ergh.. suckage dude.

    nope, don't have cable.

    its a little difficult on universalsports.com to find your races. but they are there. seems like you go to your library then you have to go to the bottom and select it again, i know its tricky.
    like marquis said, you gotta forward thru the dead air to get the race, sometimes its like a half hour or so.
    sometimes there's no commentary.
    but i'll still pay to see the ones i cant get through nbcsports or cycling.tv or steephill.
    but i do like the hd on nbcsports tho im very tired of phil and paul and gogo and schlanger and even the brits on cycling.tv. tho i do like brian smith. i like the european guys on sky or eurosport in english (you can find thru steephill.tv).
    it's just so cool to have all the cycling available!

    Anyone has tried cycling.tv? They are more expensive, but I think I may give them a try. They are covering a lot of races.
