Oh well, put my money where my mouth is and pledged $150.00 Don't like their chances but if everyone sits on the fence, like I was, it will NEVER happen.

Good question: I was going down that track (Probably still will) but I like what they are trying to do.

I hear ya...and I'm all for them. But IF it's basically Moto GP you're after...tis a no brainer.

I expect that if they do get off the ground we will get more Moto coverage, like AMA MX etc. if they don't get off the ground, it doesn't cost me. So I reckon it's a good punt......

**Reckless** · 23rd February 2015, 15:57

Slicknick torrents for AMA he's bloody brilliant and the racing has been good

Which makes them reliable finding them for the other sports is a bit tough.
I might add WSBK to my MotoGP registration this year?? Its fairly cheap compared to MotoGP.

FYI, for those with a playstation 3, Motogp14 is on sale in the online store for download at $17 or thereabouts.

**speights_bud** · 23rd February 2015, 16:16

And as for Sommet, have you actually read the pledge pages? I think you'll find they need much more than 300k to get it back on freeview HD

**speights_bud** · 23rd February 2015, 16:18

From the link:

What do we need?

We're looking to crowdfund $300,000 to get back up and running, and ensure that we have a sustainable model for the future. This includes setting ourselves back up on the internet, hiring part of our team back, and working on the partnerships we have in train. If we raise $500,000 we'll go on Freeview HD, and at $1.2 million we'll be available on every TV.

And $500k will only get you 42hours on the weekend of freeview broadcast (so the wont be MGP).

Personally I dont think they have a chance, or a sustainable business model(why else would they not be able to attract coperate investor). It is shame because it was a good channel.

**speights_bud** · 23rd February 2015, 19:12

My thoughts exactly, they've already had a chance to make it work. And now they have the cheek to ask for us to put our hands in our pockets for 'free sport for kiwis'.

What happens when the pledge $$ runs out? (assuming they get enough). The channel is a nice idea. But if I recall correctly lots of people bitched about live sport double ups, moto3 getting chopped in half etc etc. You get what you pay for...
