Anyone shed any light on this ?  Is this the real reason for no US racing the last 48 hours or is it contractual reason ?

jas - Technical issues is a RED Herring.  Do they think we're all stupid.  We can all get the racing through our internet connections without any techie issues.  Maybe on a one off it could be seen as a techie issue but NOT 2 nights in a row.  This has happened before and we all know it wasn't down to technical issues back then.

Think you're right kriskin as this used to happen almost every year at some stage.
technical issues is tv language for weve fcuked up somewhere

no aussie racing either so could be technical? surely that racing is covered by different contracts?

or would atr choose not to show that either to cover up the 'technical issues' line?

Have they been showing any at all between 7-11pm. When I've tuned into to bet after 11pm the last couple of nights the "Coming Up" screen has been there.Hope it comes back soon.

As stated earlier in the thread this happens every year.  Nothing to do with Technical issues

ATR's response from an earlier email I sent

Hi Jason,
It's not great news unfortuntely. We're at the mercy of US satellite providers who cannot give us a real timescale. I'd hold off printing cards for today at least.

Apologies but thanks for getting in touch

FFS Steve Millar & ur station stop trying to fool us with ur balleredash about satelites etc.  Ur sounding now like the Comedian and his horizon problems.  Pay ur bills

Its not a satelite problem, cos I can watch the racing, LIVE, on BETFAIR video...... but its not the same. Gonna give it a break till it appears back on TV! Be nice to know the real reason tho.....

I would have to agree that it's nothing to do with a technical isssue , ATR really should come clean and let us know what is going on here.

this did happen once before and coverage was down for 3 or 4 days. The Aussie racing also comes from the same hub in Philly.
