Challenge Majorca

Challenge Majorca from Sunday 8 February to Thursday 12 February is on Direct 8 (13e and 19e) and IB Sat (30w).

Thanks to BernieS for the pointers – Direct8 popped up on my usual French cycling coverage monitor but I don’t have a good one for Spain.

Just as a side note, both channels have internet video streams that actually play on my GNU/Linux-based TV viewer. Several others never have. I’ll probably watch over satellite still, but will 2009 be the year that online video channels get their heads in gear and stop messing it up with Internet-Explorer-only Javascript+Flash rubbish?

  1. “Internet-Explorer-only Javascript+Flash rubbish” – don’t these sites realise that firefox is used by 45% of users!

  2. 45% huh? Where was that from? The BBC was reporting it as 20% at the weekend. User shares are actually very hard to estimate accurately, which is something that ignorant webmasters throw back at me when I ask for a video stream I can actually watch on my TV!

    Would you use a link to a page about you in comments in future, please? Alternatively, remove the eyetest from majorcaholidays. Thanks.
