I'll leave it up to somebody else to actually preview the race, I'm just putting this up to plan. This one's Saturday night at 11pm so it's about time all the slackers who haven't been showing up to the 5am races get over to rage's for some drinking and douchebaggery.

[rage2]

Just spoke with Haysen, we're going to try and make this a little more exciting.

6pm - Friendly $20 buy in poker game starts
7pm - Flames @ Oilers game starts
10:29pm - Poker game must end by then
10:30pm - F1 pre-race
11:00pm - F1 race

I'll provide Pizza and a few beers.

If you are looking to attend, please confirm by adding your username to the thread. Please only confirm if you are sure you can attend, because I'll need to arrange food/drinks.

Thanks!

I'll be back this weekend, I plan on reclaiming 1st place in the pool ... My work schedule got shifted around and now I have to work on Sundays (early morning shifts), should have no problem making it Saturday night!

[ryanallan]

I really need to make it over one if these times.
Rage seems to put on a good show.

We are both playing catch up now... Our battle to end will be just as exciting as the F1 battle.

I would show up if my car was actually in working condition. It isn't, and busses don't exactly run at 2 am o_O

So, I'll just wave my Button/Brawn flag from the room here as usual

[buh_buh]

That's what the PVR is for.

[Sil80_D]

I went to go watch Singapore last night and my PVR recorded 2:45 of a test pattern. I caught two frames of a GP2 driver showering himself in victory drink and then just a test pattern.

Fuck Shaw. Fuck TSN. Fuck Motorola. Fuck me for not doing a backup recording on Speed.

Yep, always record off TSNHD. Then again im in North Calgary...

[Mibz]

Hmmm, maybe I've got a legitimate shot at yelling at Shaw then.

[buh_buh]

yeah I've gotten fucked by PVR before too.
Now I record using 2 different providers, Speed and TSN, extend time by 1.5 hours.

[Mibz]

Well I'll try recording Suzuka despite watching it live and see what happens.

[Team_Mclaren]

BBC per/post race FTW. I always download them and watch it a day later.

I had the exact same problem, recorded the last two races on PVR (HD) to come back and find it recorded 1 second of the show then the standard off-air picture for the next two hours....

I have a feeling it might be a result of how my system is setup. The PVR runs though a receiver with HDMI in and outs which might mean I have to keep on the receiver to record. Hopefully, that is all it takes.

[buh_buh]

don't you have to keep the receiver on to record anything? I just never turn mine off.
