Just cancelled my SKY subs.........
I cancelled my SKY subscription at Christmas because I was not getting good value at nearly £600 a year in addition to being miffed that I would have to pay another £15 pm for BTSport in order to watch MotoGP.
So..................... how can I find somewhere on the web to watch the races, not bothered that they will not be live but there must be a way.
Any ideas?
PS.... can't changed internet provider because we live in a web controlled state in East Yorkshire (KCom have a monopoly even though that's supposed to be against the law ).

Yes - I'm really pissed off about this too. Virgin want to charge me an extra £15 a month to watch what I could watch on Eurosport last season for no extra (actually they've put their price up for the basic stuff anyway).DavShill wrote:Thanks fellas, just also noticed that ITV4 are running a 60min highlights programme at 8pm on Mondays after the race.
Complete rip-off.
I'll be reduced to ITV4 highlights this year - unless anyone knows where I can find a feed.

Strongly suggest a goggle on vipbox may be useful

Doh!
Am sorry - I have used vipbox and front row a fairbit but
Though not immune to malware macs don't have half the problems with it
And maybe Steve jobs was right - most of it is embedded in flash....

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
Not sure if the whole thing is a problem - maybe watching in a browser is OK ... but the downloadable HD player seems to carry a "payload"Aladinsaneuk wrote:Doh!

We have btbroadband (infinity) but not the vision box. As I have a braoadband package with them I can get it for free which I have only just found out today.
We have Sky tv, btsport is on the list but the usual "you need to upgrade your subscription" blah blah comes up.
Anyway, whilst trying to sort out btsport and passwords etc with BT they asked if I wanted sport on the PC or skybox. My next question was "is it free"? to wich the answer is yes. They asked for my sky card number along with other details and we now have it on the skybox all set up at no extra cost. What you get is btsport 1 and 2, and also ESPN.
I am sure if I was to contact sky to get these channels it would have cost me.
So anyone who has bt broadband should be able to get btsport for free.
