What's the gen on Video pass? I haven't heard of it.

I looked at getting the official video pass.

Two things put me off.

1. It's fucking expensive.
2. They use their own commentators and apparently Simon Crafar is boring as fuck.

Simon Crafar would put me right off.

His one line is ‘How does it feel to win/come 2nd/3rd in the Grand Prix?’

He should have lasted 2 races max and got booted.

And here 😁

I like watching MotoGP so forked out for a video pass.

There's more than one Firestick TV software supplier, so take your pick. Download, install, pay the subscription and watch.
Mine comes with MotoGP. And latest films and even the PPV boxing :)
Mine has MotoGP also, via BT Sport. The reason I subscribe to Videopass is that I'm invariably doing something else when practice and racing is on, this way I can watch when I choose.
Ours has 7 day catch-up on everything :)

To answer the points raised above:

Video pass is expensive, but it's a lot less than my wife spends on yoga classes. Besides, it's my money and I'll spend it as I see fit.

Simon Crafar vs anyone from BT Sport? I prefer Crafar.

7 day catchup? I have no way of recording the telly and I wouldn't waste money investing in kit to do it. The only stuff I watch is MotoGP and Bake Off, wifey only watches Bake Off.

That's it really, MotoGP is pretty much the only thing I really watch so if I end up paying 200E it won't be the end of the world. With video pass can you watch qualifying and races whenever you want? I usually watch Sat/Sun evenings rather than live unless I remember on Fri and working from home.

I tried using the BT app to catch up with a race once as my Sky box failed to record and the result was splashed across the screen as a headline and they only had 10 mins hightlights of the race :angry-cussingblack:

It's not recording. The programs just sit there waiting to be watched.

Me neither :( :( But it does seem that it is what I need!! Will have to try and find a dodgy friend to sent me one!! LOL :lol: :lol:

It appears i've just cancelled BT Sport.

They charged me £35 for last month. Which wasn't pleasing me. Apparently that was my fault for not reading mails. However, even with them being nice to me it was still £25 a month... So cancelled that. It does mean i won't get to see MotoGP now... but i'm not that arsed.

BBC Northern Ireland normally have some coverage on the road racing season ..... On Sky they are on the high 960 something channel numbers ;)
