This delay really does take the pi$$.

I make it 4 seconds!

Needing to make sure you are out with 2 still load is hardly ideal and add in that sodding graphic and it is only going to be a matter of time until I got caught with my pants down.

I havent had time to look at whats behind it but I think a few of us should complain to the television watchdog (can't remember the name of it) - I've heard before how they've forced TV companies to make changes even though only 70 or 80 people complained, even made main news. Probably wouldn't be that hard to get it changed or at least get them a big fine

Has BF removed ATR tracks from the Live Video?

The BF video has been on the blink since Wednesday for me.

I guess if they can forget to send markets in-play they can also forget to connect the BF video.

Odd that they have the link on the RUK cards but not on any of the ATR tracks....

Let's hope when it comes back it doesn't come back with the same delay as the normal tv ATR pictures!

I was planning on using it during the jumps season instead of ATR. If they're not covering them then there's just no way you can trade the jumps races after 0:00 with the current ATR delay.

I think its time we organised some sort of big campaign of complaints against ATR to the OFT or whatever it is. I haven't really looked into the issue but 8 seconds really is ridiculous and cannot be considered 'live'
