I suspect that if you want to watch the BBCi coverage you need to be on BBC Northern Ireland when you press your red button. ?

I'm told that if, as I did, you find that the broadband falls over a lot, try the narrowband, which, while less clear, seems more reliable. This advice from a highly respected TTwebsite member!!

Doesn't need to be BBCNI Cargo... I watched the program last night here in the Darkest Black Country on English BBC Red Button TV. I was amazed! Modern technology! When it actually works it's brilliant! I kept losing the broadband version too, Helen. Very frustrating but infinitely better than missing everything.

Posted by Larry Carter over on BSB Forum

Back on again tonight, a full shift this time starting at 5.30 right through until 9pm at http://www.bbc.co.uk/nw200

Phil McCallen and me in Pit Lane, Dave Moore and Stavros in the comms box and we'll have the helicopter shots tonight also so we can see right the way round the course, not just the coast road.

Some minor problems still with streaming that we were not expecting but tonight should be a lot, lot better and then on Saturday, I shall spare you the technical details, but the stream is being re-routed so should be totally glitch-free (fingers crossed)

Depending on how you access the site (the above link is best), have a play with your settings/preferences and try a differnt application (ie try Real Player if Windows is troublesome etc)

And remember to e-mail us at nw200@bbc.co.uk with your comments, we'll read the best ones out!

RE: Don't forget the live NW200 coverage from tonight
Sorry guys had perfect coverage all night.

Many e mails answered.

Only exception is 5 min break between sessions.

Latest update is that riders involved taken to hospital.

Watched it but as is the case your mind kind of shuts down on witnessing accident like that one.

Dunlop seriously ill after crash

Robert Dunlop's brother Joey was killed at a race in Estonia in 2000
Motorcyclist Robert Dunlop is seriously ill after suffering severe chest injuries in a crash in Thursday's practice session at the North West 200.

Another Northern Ireland rider, Darren Burns, suffered a suspected broken leg and concussion in the accident, but is said to be stable in hospital.

The accident happened in the 250cc qualifying as the riders approached the Mathers Cross Section of the course.

Dunlop's brother Joey was killed in a racing accident in Estonia in 2000.

The riders were travelling at speeds of about 160 miles per hour when the accident happened.


I thought it was Robert, GETWELL SOON ROBERT

RE: Don't forget the live NW200 coverage from tonight
Sorry for my rant last night, it may have come across as a touch insensitive but it wasn't supposed to be that way, it was the sheer frustration at the internet, like going back to when we first got these picures and they kept breaking up, I just wished that we could have had some talking so that we knew it was still broadcasting. As one of the sados that has to be at work at not at the NW where I'd love to be it is very frustrating when the thing breaks down. On reflection the BBC have done a sterling job. To make matters worse for me I have to miss the event tomorrow as we've got to go to Cheltenham for an athletics meeting my daughter is in. smilie
Deepest sympathies to Roberts family at this testing time.
