I love Top Gear! But I dont have cable. I try to catch the episodes on Youtube and TV links. I love the episode when they try to destroy that old Toyota pick-up. That POS just wont die!

there are two "BBC" channels (maybe more?)... one is BBC "International" or something similar... the other is BBC "America", which is what I get and likely what you are also seeing... unfortunately, BBC "America" only gets the crap shows from BBC, like Footballer's Wives, and none of the good shows...

TopGear is on BBC America

Really?!?! News to me!

I'll have to go home and see if I can dig it out. I've never once seen it appear on my BBC channel. Maybe it's a Time Warner Cable thing, then?

Hmmm... I've got my fingers and toes crossed, now, that you're right and I'm completely wrong... =)

i don;t know if you can see this link

http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/search/searchProgramGuide.jsp?_requestid=1651485

but search the listing for Top Gear. They all come up on BBCA for Directv.

thanks steve!

you've got my hopes up that it's available! i'm really hoping that it's not just Time Warner or random digi-cable providers that don't support it (i.e. Direct TV really does get more channels... my dad has about 8 more HD channels than I do, for example)...

I'm glad you guys made me go and search the cable directories again... For the first time in two years, it looks like I may actually be able to watch Top Gear on the tube, rather than on the youtube.com!

I'm track-prepping the VW this weekend, but I can guarantee that my butt will be glued to the couch at 12pm on Saturday. =)
