    Probably need to download some special video player i know some sites you have to select mac or pc before watching a video.

    But i mean cmon, ya bought a mac lol.

    I actually think they are ok the only problem is being so small a percentage of the market share not many things are set up to support them.

    Not sure what your compatibility is, but I can definitely +1 on the mac. Shit microsoft can't even put out a reliable consol. Xbox360 is plagued with problems and every windows machine I have burdened myself with has crashed repeatedly and proven a real drama in keeping current. Absolute crap.

    Solved my issue by using firefox for the MotoGP site as opposed to Safari.

    The latter is the much faster browser by the seems of things but at least i can now view the awesome content on MotoGP.com.

    Was a subscriber for a couple of years but when they went "streaming" only as opposed to downloading I got narked off. My other big nark is that when you go on the site the first thing it shows is the bloody winner.....defeats purpose of watching the video.

    Now I just download them on bittorrent.

    Used the site a fair bit over the weekend of the first race and thought it was great.

    The ability to have live video feed overlaid with the full live timing facility is superb. The one big downside for me was that there is no commentary on the live feed. I think from other posts i've read that there used to be live commentary from Eurosport but due to a dispute they don't provide it anymore, which is a shame.

    One thing i miss living here is Eurosports coverage which used to be the full qualifying sessions at most meetings.

    The ability to have the commentary is obviously there as after the MotoGP qualifying session commentary suddenly appeared for the press conference but thats a Dorna paid/employed interviewer.

    I've said on here before that I'd just about give my left bollock to be able to watch Eurosport again. It's available in Austalia, Singapore, Dubai and just about everywhere else. Gnash

    Windoze crashing? I've had this baby running since early 2001 (Release Candidate verison) and it's still going strong.
