Has anyone watched season 13 of Top Gear on BBC America? I recorded two new Top Gears without any info on them (assuming they're the new episode). I did the same thing last week but nothing happened, it never recorded. I live in the 'States by the way.
it sucks (if you dont pay), but it gets gets me the episode less than an hour after it finished airing in england. (of course thanks mostly to speedy rippers)
and ~$30 a semester isnt that bad a price to pay for practically unlimited downloads of...well everything!

If you get on the right sites, and have a $15\mo seedbox, I can get it ~15 minutes after the show finishes airing (directly after the cappers upload it to the Scene, it's downloading).
10MB\s+ to the seedbox, 1.5MB\s to my house. I'm probably one of the first hundred people on the internet to start watching the show.
Mine was only 16 minutes long when I tried to watch it on my Xbox. But on my computer, it was the full 66 minutes. No clue why.
And I will never ADVOCATE using torrents, but the BBC America versions of Top Gear are worthless. They are cut up and bleeped far too much. If you don't watch the torrent versions, you're missing a lot. Plus, I can't wait a year to see season 13. Just don't have the willpower.
This was my same problem too! I think it has to do with the source file, because it happened twice from two different downloads. Then my hubby compressed the file for me, and it worked fine. There wasn't a noticeable difference in quality from the compression, either.
I watched an episode yesterday and they deleted the entire news segment. It was the one with Porsche pipes as well, which I happen to find very funny. They chose to air the entire SIARPC segment. I find that weird, because how many Americans even know who Jools Holland is?
If they want to include commercials, they should just up the run time to 1h30m so we can get the whole show. The edits can be VERY awkward on BBC-A.
They almost always delete the news on bbca. It's pretty useless to watch Top Gear on BBCA though I never miss an ep.
It is VERY EASY to get every episode of Top Gear made since series 1 off the internet if you make an effort to look and learn to use the required software. http://www.binsearch.info/ Search "top Gear". Every series is up. http://www.slyck.com/ng.php
I saw the last half of the Man With A White Van challenge on bbca 18 months ago and decided I HAD to get the rest of these shows. I got every single episode made to that point off the internet in one weekend.
Have fun!
Slight Correction:
Series, 1,2 3, are all BBC Prime which I believe is on continental Europe. No one seems to have these eps uncut, as they aired on BBC 2. Still, they're much better than the butchered BBCA versions.
