Eurosport player

I use the Eurosport player as a cheap way to get my cycling fix. I tend to watch on catchup and it is so unreliable!

Stage 3 of tour de Yorkshire didn't show up at all!
Ghent-Wevelgelm didn't show up!
Tour of California stage 1- ended 2mins before sprint finish!
Every time I watch too it intermittently goes back to the start of the episode.

Anyone else suffering like this?

Agreed - the coverage is generally good, but I generally want to watch it later in the day on catch up. I've subscribed a number of times, generally around grand tours, but always end up annoyed at the player, which doesn't have the days racing available until a random time later (often as late as 10 pm), and sometimes not at all. I always end up unsubscribing at the end of a month, thinking that if it was better I'd be prepared to subscribe for the full season. It's a shame when getting the coverage from 'other sources' is easier than the paid option.

I do recall one or two that didn't show up but can't remember which ones. Not had any that finish before the end of the race.

I've just looked at ToC and it gets to 2hrs with 1.7km to go. Then it carry son playing for a minute or two and stops with what looks like 500m to go with three sprinters competing.

I've had intermittent restarts as well. I'm not sure if it's the browser type or being inactive for 1hr+

So essentally, I think it's a general symptom pf Eurosportplayer.
