    ....Eurosport..

    And Dani Pedrosa, just failed to engage his electronic launch control
    and flipped the bike, doing a practice start after the practice session
    ended.. The camera cuts to him lifting the bike with fluid pissing out
    of the damaged crankcases.

    Nice that the cameras captured the whole thing both onboard, and from
    trackside and we get an action replay in slow motion.

    Did anyone else suffer a really shit broadcast on Eurosport? The picture
    and sound kept freezing for 5 seconds or so before going back to normal.
    It was tortuous.

    It was happening on Saturday as well, and also still going on later in the
    afternoon Sunday - so it wasn't the MotoGP feed. Plus I recorded the BBC
    version as well, which didn't have any problems.

    So, either it was Eurosports feed to the media companies, or Virgin Media
    messing up just the one channel.

    Are you on Sky or Virgin?

    Did you watch any of Saturdays coverage?

    The eurosport feed of the motogp is 4:3, because they all use the same
    cameras.

    As others have said, there's only a single feed from the circuit for the
    race coverage, which is only 4:3. Either Sky or your TV is doing
    something to your Eurosport picture.

    The BBC though have their own camera out there, so supply additional
    pictures within the pits.

    Mine you, on Eurosport 2, I zoom the picture to get rid of the news ticker
    on the bottom.
