It's one major operational failure is that it doesn't allow full manual control, they will always change up within sniffing distance of the redline.

I didn't like the Jekyll and Hyde nature of the VW DSG putting around in traffic. It was all noise, or all hesitation. That was an 05 model, so they might have gotten better.

guys - is TG S17 free to air? (my thoughts yes)

just be aware of the fine line advertising torrenting free to world material vs advertising downloading illegal material.

If S17 is NOT free to air the links need to be removed. As you were.

TG is broadcast on BBC HD which is FTA on UK Freeview satellite and terrestrial frequencies.

For the tech heads, it is encoded in H.264 but at a resolution of 1440x1080i.

Interestingly for the recent Wimbledon HD coverage they went to a full 1920x1080i.

OP: "funky - it is illegal to download TV episodes that are not licensed under creative commons. free to air does not mean free to distribute..."

funkytown: "cool thanks for that - can you tell me is TG is licenced under that or not"

OP: "I can assure you it is not. In fact, pretty much every tv show you've ever heard of, is not."

im told its not licenced so links to come down plz.

Yep, there have been several software updates since '05 though occasionally you still read of people having problems.

Well I would have thought they would have found some more exciting cars to drive around the Monaco F1GP track!

I was a bit gutted with those POS shoes.....

But its been a good start so far!

Bring on next week!

;D ;D ;D
