Default Motors TV??

Motors TV has disappeared from my Sky menu tonight and was ok last night. Phoned Sky up and the incompetent guy couldn't shed any light on it. Anyone else got the same problem?
Channel 447.

I think that they've suddenly vanished, their twitter feed has gone quiet and the channel is gone.

You have to manually enter it in your sky box.

My sky box won't allow me to change the frequency to 11.082GhZ, can change all other settings. Can't get it!

Probably due to a lack of viewing numbers.

To be more accurate the French tv company who own the rights changed the package they give away for free so Sky pulled it.

Thankfully BT also show the V8 Supercars Live and in full so I wasn't sweating it, but good to know how to get it back on Sky

Are there any others that aren't on Sky that can be added as easily as Motors out of curiosity ?

Why? If you haven't got bt sports then Chanel 5 have the highlights coverage, and apparently show the live power stages as well.

Edit, just looked at Chanel 5 website and it's just the rally gb live power stage they are showing this year, along with a pre event show and an hour long post event show on the Monday after the rallies.

Yep exactly. Plus adding the channel manually on sky isn't really anygood, as you cant set a reminder for it or record it. The Motorstv coverage was sh1te anyway

I have got bt sports *cough, kind of

Yip it's back on Sky menu just in time for Friday night rally coverage. Irish tarmac rallying beats WRC for me any day. There is too much motocross and crap like tractor pulling on the channel. Wish they do some behind the scenes car prep on many of the excellent specialist in the UK (or anywhere else).
