That was BT Sport that showed MotoGP. I used to watch the races on my sons BT Player login but since it went TNT i cant get access to it. I get discovery+ and eurosport with my sky package so that gets me WEC, BSB and BSB all live and available to record as well. I end up waiting to download GP races now so rarely see them live anymore

I've chosen not to get the full package with MotoGP purely based on the comments about how rubbish it seems to be. WSB and BSB seem to be on eurosport so I'll be happy with that. Because I haven't had eurosport for a while I haven't seen any WSB or BSB for probably 5 years, I'm totally out of touch so it'll be good to watch it again. All the bike racing i've seen is the TT.

F1 is why I had the Sky sports, via Now Tv, but since the 2021 debacle, and the irritating Sky F1 team, mainly 'Shouty' Croft, I've lost interest in it so will make do with catch up on C4. And it's saved me the £50'ish monthly subscription, so that really pays for the rest of my subscription TV.

My guilty pleasure since the early 80's is the NFL so I've taken out a DAZN subs to cover that, and then I'll get the TT subscription again this year.

This subscription TV thing is getting difficult to manage. I guess I could bin the whole lot and not watch any TV mind you. ;)

Found out today that logging into the discovery plus app on my sky using the boys discovery plus login instead of mine now gets me access to the TNT content so MotoGP is back and i already have BSB and WSB through Eurosport so have full house now :thumbup:

He can have more than 1 device on it so now mine is logged in as well as his both watching live races in different places.

Might be worth knowing if you have family with internet/telly through BT/EE

It's probably the most cost effective way to get tv,but I don't watch live stuff and I can't record programmes with a firestick.
I think Yozza means a 'hooky' Firestick with illegal streams of subscriber content... cos he's from Bratfud where they're all dodgy as fuck.
Nobody cares over here.
You DO KNOW what Nordboy does for a living don't you.

Doubt he's as pure as the driven snow, but pretty sure there's a line in the sand for that sort of thing in his trade!

Totally agree about shouty Croft - he does my head in. He also seems to think he's some kind of F1 expert, which is about as far from the truth as can be.

It's as if he thinks he's commentating on a horse race! I try to turn the volume down at the beginning, early stages and last few laps.

Having had this now for a little while, I may bin it off. It seems, unless i'm not using it properly, that unless I watch the bike racing when it's scheduled, I can't seem to do replays/ catch up?
Loads of the other sports seem to do it, but not things like BSB.

I've now cancelled my Discovery + subscription. I got it initially mainly for Eurosport. Paying £7 a month and finding that unless I manage to catch what I want to watch live, there is very limited access to the on demand stuff. So I was using it less and less. Probably something to do with the licensing agreements?

Hmmmmm, that doesn’t seem right. On the discovery app you can watch everything as a replay, individual races, full coverage of the day (bsb) etc etc, I’m wondering if you’re missing it when browsing the app.

An example from mine just now. It gives you full races and or highlights of each race.

Maybe it's the app on the fire stick then? I've never watched it on a computer.

That was from my phone, it’s the same o; the IPad as well.

It’s also the same on the TV that has the ability to use apps.

MotoGP can be watched legally and free on ServusTV (effectively Red Bull TV) in Austria. You will need a vpn to log in to an Austrian ISP (there are lots of free vpn's available). Coverage is for the Sprint race on Saturday and all three races on Sunday, and it is Dorna's official commentary in English. Never looked, but think they also show the free practice and qualifying too.

The only MotoGP they don't cover is the Austrian GP.
