I stuck a PC on my big TV and have dumped Sky.

I only got it for the sport. Lots of free web stuff around :yes:

Well at least there is live nascar in HD to watch on sport 1 :)

[Dadpole]

I dumped Sky a couple of years ago. Why pay money to be treated like shit? I can get that for free...

I did the same for the same reason, they have nothing I am willing to pay their high prices for.

[Crasherfromwayback]

I've signed up with MotoGP.com for the second year running...much bettera. Sky can suck arse.

[DEATH_INC.]

Yeh, but at least they show it. And the same happens to others when the gp's run late....

No it doesn't. Many's the time that the live MotoGP broadcast gets truncated so whatever ball sport that follows can start on time.

[Madness]

I wouldn't have minded so much if the bastards adjusted the My-Sky recording accordingly, fuckers!

Been downloading the torrents and watching via the laptop on the projector! Sometimes the torrents are quicker than Sky. Then I have it to replay as well.

But Motogp.com sounds like a good option so they can be watched live.
How much does it cost Crasher? Is the coverage good?

Think it was 80 Euro as we had also signed up last year. The coverage is great, it's in HD, and you can watch every single session of every class whenever you want.

is it streamed live to the web, or do you download it? cos ive tried to watch a few concerts streamed live to the web and ................... it................ suuuuuucks .......... arse because of teh ....................... delays ....................while .............. it buffers.

so I just do the torrent thing.

[Brett]

Sky can kiss my ass. Gonna sign onto MotoGP .com in the future for races.

[Number One]

I was just contemplating getting Sky hooked up for him in doors....specifically for the bikes. BUT as this is the umptienth time I have seen that Sky have fucked with the coverage of the bikes - I wonder how many people there are that have Sky only to get the bikes..anyway I won't bother with it now...motogp.com eh?

Will check that out instead!

[Latte]

Fuckers.

And if I fast forward to the end to make sure it has recorded wrong, I'll see the result.... if it wasn't such a good babysitter for the youngins.

It's normally pretty good, but a few times it's got it's self in a tangle. Depends (I guess) a lot on how good your connection is?

[Mental Trousers]

I like the Eurosport coverage downloaded via torrents. It took a while to get used to the Toby/Jules/Spalders show, but there's nobody better during Practice and Qualifying. Those guys live motorcycle racing and it shows in their commentary.

ditto, fucking pricks! I missed the previous races and only just caught the last 12laps of the gp.
who the fuck was up at 2am watching golf anyway?! :blink:

I get them from Racing Underground. Unfortunately, if you don't have an account you can't hook up to their torrent server.

To join Racing Underground you need an invite and I don't have any left.

Thanks for the offer of the nomination if you had any but I am a member shoudla twigged when you said the eurosport coverage DUH! I watched last years rounds of theirs I agree they are very good!

Found a 9gig one yeh right LOL!!
Downloading the race now, Eurosport coverage 618mb for Pre-Race Build up, Full Race, Podiums, Press Conference Interviews 30 min download pretty good. Might have to find Moto 2. Didn't watch it last year but it sounds like its worth a go this year! Watch it when my son gets home from work.

Its a bit hard to choose which torrent to download as some of the descriptions don't tell you exactly what the file contains?? Its a bit hit and miss aye?
I'll ask you a question whats an RU File? I clicked on one that had big red warnings but no decent description of what was in it? it says not for upload elsewhere?? Does this mean its a racing underground file only? BBC torrent I think?

RU file = file sourced from Racing Underground

They ask that people don't go uploading anything sourced from Racing Underground to other sites. Fair enough I say.

I only download stuff from either lenscap, pitcrew, alonsospeed and occassionally Fenster. Mostly Eurosport but sometimes the BBC coverage.

Moto2 is awesome. It's the axe murders class. Great spectacle and usually close racing.

Thanks for those references!!

Mysky should have recorded it for me this morning. Without looking (and see any result), how much am i missing?

[Devil]

Mine didn't record anything at all GRRRRR!

[Smokin]

+1 for Racing Underground, lenscap is a legend. :yes:

yeh u got that right!! Go Racing underground!! Downloaded the Moto2 and motoGP took less than an hour! Hooked up the projector and home theater to the laptop then downloaded the WSB at Phlllip island over wifi while watching the motoGP! Had the system humming and caught up on all the racing I've missed in one night! all for the cost of 3gig download.

Be interesting to see how quick the torrents come out after the racing ends when the time differences mean they arn't at night our time!

Thought the racing was ok no huge fights or dices in Moto2 MotoGP or WSB but they where certainly pushing hard. Not to bad for a rainy night in!!

[riffer]

Pissed me off too finding out there's everything up to the end of the warm up lap recorded.

I'm looking for the torrent. Can someone post it here please?

[ac3_snow]

found this here :

Mine ended up recording it in it's entirety, managed the time change and everything.

My MySky stopped recording with 12 laps to go. I had left the TV on that channel so I could capture it on my PC, but my wife didn't know and changed the channel with 7 laps to go :facepalm:

Hopefully the highlights package today shows most of the last 7 laps.

Bugger! - oh well, for those that missed the end - the butler did it! ;)

Can't you program your recording to finish say 1hr late, especially for live stuff?

[Dave Lobster]

Your wife is allowed to touch the TV while there's racing on? WTF??:gob:

Funny some people got part of it eh.....I watched/recorded it too, but I noticed after the 5th or so delay mine lost the recording prompt.
The qualifying cut off the last 5 mins or so though, that was bloody annoying....
