    Wouldn’t have a clue about these or any other flat horses so have done a Lucky Dip. I tried cancelling at every stage and didn’t have any problems when resubmitting, but once confirmed received a warning if I changed anything would count as one of the five swaps.

    Do I post my horses or just my score each week ?

    He is 48th in the FREE league.There are three leaderboards, Paid,Free and Charity. Immediately above where it says Race Week 4 there is a separate tab for each league.

    The offer wasn’t available to customers using Virgin Media or Vodaphone so I emailed RacingTV to ask why. The response was

    “Virgin Media do not allow third party broadcasters on their platform, instead they buy the broadcast rights and provide the service and charge their customers themselves, this is why the cost of Racing TV is inclusive with the Virgin Media bill rather than a separate charge.”

    So I then contacted the Virgin Help Forum to enquire whether they could honour the offer within their price structure.Their reply didn’t exactly answer the question but for the record this was a reply from someone who wasn’t a Virgin employee.

    “Virgin Media is ALL third party content. They do not own any channels. The difference is they are not an open source platform. Sky’s platform is operated through SES in Belgium. Any broadcaster can do a deal with SES directly & then get an EPG slot from Sky. By law the viewing cards must be open source so any broadcaster can charge customers directly for their service.

    There are two types of cable system. The open type system uses CAM units built into TV sets that can be controlled either by the cable operator or another broadcaster. The closed type use STBs & are in the full control of the cable operator. Virgin is a closed system & they directly control the boxes via the headend equipment. Therefore all subscriptions have to be controlled centrally. If you want the ability to record content then a closed cable system is the only option.”

    Unfortunately the lockdown in March seems to have delayed things but the link is included in the article for when it starts operation.

    Virginmedia paused my Skysports subscription without me asking, but I had to cancel my RacingTV subscription as they don’t pause that.
