    Wsb 2026

    What's the best way to watch this year's WSB's in NZ? SKY seems to have lost the plot.
    Compare Pornography now to 50 years ago.
    Then extrapolate 50 years into the future.
    . . . That shit's Nasty.

    Would love to tell you to drop €70 on the Video pass thing, but having paid & got the welcome email, I've been locked out. Mostly by myself, cos I forgot I want to watch it on TV not logged into laptop and then I logged out of that but couldn't log in again.
    No contact deets for Dorna, have faffed on their socials, but they're all at the pub on their profits, I guess?
    Shall go check I wasn't scammed...

    The Superbikes website says that "TVZN" has it. But I can't find anything on TVNZ+.

    Definitely not paying €70!

    Found more on coverage - apparently the list I found is "provisional" and will be updated.

    I'm coming very close to ditching Sky. Watching the Winter Olympics has been frustrating.

    It's a lot cheaper than Sky! And cheaper than MotoGP, which is hundreds of €.

    Planning to ditch the dish soon and just get the Sky Sports Now thing. That varies in price a bit, it was $250 a year ago, went to $550 around Nov, now $350ish? Keep an eye on that, caveat emptor, etc. ,etc. Looks like Sky have stopped their terrestrial 1-free-rugby-game-on-delay as well.

    You'd think Sky would want everyone on fibre, so they could not need satellites, ground stations & all those salaries at all. Maybe some legal clause about rural coverage? What a time to be alive, all the great tech advances of the last 50 years being replaced by social media bots & whatever tf AI really is.

    It would be simpler and cheaper if we could get Kayo, the streaming service they have in Oz.

    Satellite is cheaper for Sky than providing a streaming service, especially 4k. TVNZ+ streaming is good, but I understand they bought the servers from Spark and Sky doesn't want to spend the money.

    I'm looking into the special Amazon Fire stick that half of my UK relatives seem to have now, but not sure what you'd need for NZ.

    WSBK website still says TVZN, I'm guessing we won't be seeing it broadcast here.

    I'm very close to ditching Sky after 36 years. I watch mainly motorsport now, although I enjoy both flavours of the Olympics.

    I'll see if I can get an Amazon Fire stick, and will update on progress.
