MotoGP.com Video Pass 2013

[Reckless]

Well we paid for the Dorna Subscription.

Me an my son went 1/2's we will share the password and have Moto Gp Nights. Maybe some of you KBer's should do the same (even a group of us next year)???

Dorna's game is pretty slack really! no promo vids from the teams, no sky, once they think they have a captive market I'd guess the 99 euro's will go up to?

Then when the teams get fucked off with their antics and start practicing privately (which wont be in the 99 subscription) we wont see that stuff either.

You cant carry on like that sooner or later it will bite them in the ass.
The word is out I wonder if enough people didn't pay until after the first race if they would get the TV rights sussed earlier.

Their saving grace this year is the upcoming battle between the top riders but all and all not a very good look for Dorna, the teams and the Fans.

Ah well we did the best we could to 1/2 the cost. Bring it on cant wait for Race 1!!!

Cheers Reckless, I was on the phone to Sky AGAIN, last night and was expressing myself to the Curry Muncher I had on the line.
Finally I said, the racing starts tomorrow ! So, your are expecting a deal very soon , it IS coming ? The reply was YES !

So fingers crossed, Far too late for us Fans, and yes I'm sure it will bite them in the end ? ( Both Dorna and Sky.) F...em !

Exacary the conversation I had last night! Great excuse for a weekly beer & curry night. Just need to make some friends now.
Would asking on Twitface help?

Help!

Why am I unable to get the Multi Screen features (As demoed in 'Video Pass') that are scheduled for Q1 and Q2?

Also, how do I get the Audio Mixer on screen?

Got a moto gp video pass for Qatar to test it.

Pro's = A lot of content from previous seasons
All the practice , warm up and qualy in all classes

Con's = Have to view by connecting laptop to TV, I use a HDMI cable
It is not true H, only 720p, so no where near as good as Sky HD.


Will keep sky if they do a deal for the rest of the season, but if not will get a full season pass for motogp.

The strange thing is that, all those menus were there when I first logged in - so I must have stuffed a setting when I was bumbling about. Looked everywhere, but can't solve it?

Slightly off topic, but has anyone had trouble logging in to the MotoGP video feed? I have bought a pass - I can log in with my desktop computer (running Win XP) no problems. But not with the laptop (running Win 7 may it rot in hell) nor the Samsung smart TV. I fill out user name and password and it just sits there doing nothing.

So as not to clutter up the thread perhaps PMs from here.

After all, it was your fault - all the talk about the stunning race forced me to crack out the credit card and buy the subscription, seeing as how those useless twats at sky have dropped MotoGP.

In my experience with motogp.com, it pays to log on well before the race starts.

Only prob I've ever had with the site...and always have...is during the race my laptop always flicks from high def to std and back again at will. This causes my laptop to freeze up at inopportune moments, and has nearly caused me to throw the cunting thing out the window on several occasions! Is it operator error or what?

Is it operator error or what?

I dunno, I'm still learning too.

Monday morning I lost the coverage a couple of times but I'm assuming that was them not me because ads came on.

That's an easy one, mate: to the left of the 720p/Hi-Res/Standard resolution button is a check box titled 'Auto Quality' — just uncheck it.

Latest update from sky

Here is an explanation from Richard Last - SKY's Director of Sport - regarding MotoGP

"I can fully appreciate your comments and understand how frustrating this type of thing can be and I realise that my response is unlikely to change your opinion in the short term but I would like to explain how we have ended up in this situation.

"Our acquisitions team (which I am the head of) did start discussing the renewal of the rights with the broker and the rights holder in October last year. Unfortunately we have a difference of opinion in how we value coverage of the races.

"I know there are a large number of followers of Moto GP and it is our job to try and bring as much coverage of the events and other LIVE Sport to our customers as we can.

"In order to do that we need to spend our budget carefully and try and keep any increase in costs at a level that allows us to deliver the best result for our paying customers.

"Over recent weeks and months we have been through some difficult negotiations with some of those deals only taking place in the final few days or hours before the season starts.

"We found ourselves in the same position last week - we could not reach an agreement and the first race was imminent.

"We posted the situation on Facebook on Friday as it was at that point that we genuinely feared we may not get a deal.

"On Saturday and Sunday I had conversations with the rights holders but they too would not budge. (It does take two parties to agree or not agree a deal).

"We have made another offer for the remainder of the series and we hope that we are successful with that offer.

"I do understand how annoying this is for Moto GP fans such as yourselves but I do believe we are trying to act in the best interest of our subscribers by keeping costs at a reasonable level. If we agreed to pay all the sports the money they want we would have to continuously increase the cost of a subscription.

"I am sorry that we have not been able to satisfy you and apologise for the annoyance we have caused.

"I very much hope that you will decide to stay with SKY and continue to enjoy our coverage of the Superbikes and we will continue to talk to the Moto GP folk to try and get that back on SKY as soon as possible."
