Does anyone in the United States know if Top Gear is on any channels here?

- Speed Channel?
- BBC America?
- Discovery Channel?
- The Learning Channel?
- Spike TV?
- VS Network
- ESPN?

If you know, please let us know!!! I need my fix of Jeremy Clarkson!

I knew there was a reason road work took so long!

And I love Hammonds line "But I don't want to go upside down"

Still prefer the Austin over the Jag.

I just finished watching the whole episode. Meh...a bit boring if you ask me. Not up to the usual standards, however I still really enjoyed it. The bit on the road construction was worthless in my opinion, but that's just me!


Oh...and I would still take the Aston over the Jaguar, no matter what Clarkson says .

Gotta agree, they seem to be doing silly things for the sake of it and doing them badly. they've got a bit carried away and are starting to take things too far perhaps.

Ahhh, but seeing post #4 still does not answer our question.

Can us non-torrent-using folks sit down at home and tune into Top Gear on any television channels? It sounds like the answer is no...

That is such a drag. I guess I'll have to watch crappy youtube clips to get my fix of Clarkson.

Well you might be able to get BBC2 with an expensive dish setup.

What site are you guys getting your torrents from? Finalgear.com doesn't list it yet and mininova has some real small numbers listed.
