Does anyone know when the UK stages will be on UK and which channel.

Thanks

Live on ITV/ITV4 and highlights 19:00 - 20:00 each night (including rest days).

You'll be able to get it on Eurosport too if you've paid for the privilege.

www.steephill.tv will have it streaming as well.

Thanks. Now I have to find which number is ITV4.
Working from home Monday, so if it looks good by Epping I will have enough time to get to Docklands to watch it live.

Freeview - 24
Freesat - 117
Sky - 120 (HD) 228 (SD)
Virgin - 178 (HD) 118 (SD)

Thanks for this - I set our box to record the highlights off Eurosport last night - I hadn't realised it was on ITV4 too. Pretty sure we get ITV4 in HD so will swap to that - I find the EUrosport picture quality to be not much better than streaming - don't know if they use a lower bandwidth or something?

I think that the TdF provides one source of footage to everyone who pays for it so Eurosport must have a crappier set-up than ITV for piping it into your eyeballs.

British Eurosport will be starting up at around 1.00pm most days and ITV generally an hour later - although both are opening up earlier for the first few days and will probably also do so if it's an interesting day in the mountains.

The standard Eurosport TV picture quality via BT is top notch - very little difference to their HD output.

Eurosport HD is massively better than normal Eurosport on my setup - Virgin.
