Must admit I bought Sky again just for the racing but sky+ is just the best, especially if you have a freeview tv in the background. Record two bike races whilst watching F1 GP. My missus is going to luurrvvee me.
It is a rip off and I have done without sky for 4 years but sod it I have kids so tv has yet again become a big part of our lives.

Well you didn't miss a lot today!
I went there today (the circuit is only 12 miles away) but the meeting was eventually abondoned due to the snow. Lucky I had VIP passes so had a good chance to talk with Leon Haslem, Leon Camier, Tom Sykes, Atsushi Watanabe before the pit lane walkabout was actually open!

Race is now rescheduled for May 11th.

This is a view from the pitlane exit looking towards Graham Hill Bend and Druids in the distance.
