Default FYI: Random US Top Gear Sighting: Sun. 3/25, 9am

I was flipping through my digital cable onscreen guide just now, and I saw that the Science Channel will be airing the Exige v. Apache episode of Top Gear (entire 1-hr. version!!) tomorrow morning @ 9am. Weird, but welcome...or rather, it would be if I weren't planning on being fast asleep.

How do you know it's not the cut-up, Americanized UK version. Those eps are still an our long, but just completely devoid of goodness.

And ssnapier you have it, if you have DirectTV or some sort of Dish/SatilliteTV.

1) Sorry for the confusion on the thread title.
2) I'm familiar with teh interwebs (and, um, torrents.) It's just nice to actually get to sit down on the couch and watch Top Gear on TV rather than on my tiny computer screen...even if it is at 9 on a Sunday morning.
3) The Science Channel is Sunflower Broadband cable channel 106, but unless you live in Lawrence, KS, that's not going to be much help. images/smilies/biggrin.gif
4) Gimme a break, guys, it's my first posts on the board!

NEVARS!!! you get no "breaks" here!!!. images/smilies/lol.gif Trust me man, we have been a lot worse on a lot of other people. I'm not a huge fan of watching TG on my laptop either, so i bought an S-video cable, and Audio cables at Best Buy and now i watch it on my plasma. TeH HaWTNE5S

And if i didn't say it before, Welcome Aboard!
