I’m just watching the first race from fairyhouse here. The camera work is absolutely awful. Looks like they only have one camera to cover the whole course
Yes, they often just show the runners behinds over a fence! The quality is awful sometimes on their coverage, looks like it’s been filmed on an old mobile phone.
Swings and roundabouts! Some of the comments are a bit better than Channel 4 and Channel 4 say it’s DD and some of their coverage is from ATR, initially had me moaning about my HD TV!
ATR’s coverage is absolutely dire full stop. They are levels behind Racing UK. The Sunday Forum and Ask The Handicapper are the only things worth tuning in for.
ATR have had the same graphics for what seems like decades also. CHANGE THEM FFS!
I actually like the ATR graphics its just the camera work. The problem with racing uk is they spend ages reviewing a race instead of looking to the next race. They replay finishes 7/8 times. But anyway camerawork is awful on ATR particularly in Ireland
I though they got the pictures from SIS and the Irsih equivalent so not really their fault.
However compare that with C4 coverage which to me is absolutely dire and why Racing UK use them when they are televising is beyond me.
I absolutely hate those close ups when you can’t see the whole field. In one race today you only saw the leader jump the race and none of the others.
Personally I can’t wait for the day when they stop broadcasting and stop those stupid close ups.

ATR last updated their graphics in 2012 at the start of Royal Ascot when they moved to Milton Keynes which makes them not very old.
