(ITV highlights) yes 40 minutes of GP1, 10 and 8 seconds of GP2 and GP3

If BT weren't such twats lots of people would know that Danny Kent is going to be a world champion shortly

Watching Rossi and Marquez play chicken with each other in the wet was a treat, Marquez finally lost out and crashed.

Really felt for Cal,getting wiped out by Jackass.
An absolute delight to see Rossi show the young un there is a bit more to it than balls out

The reson I ask is that, I'm trying to get some sort of free (well a few quid, but not much) cover of motogp going, its quite a lot of work but if I can get it sorted then I'll run the prog on my server and then people can log in to watch

That would be cool - had BT Sport (new internet service) for the last year so was good, but when they wanted to charge a small fortune for it because they've got some round-ball kicking thing as well, I gave up, so now resigned to trying to not see the results on Facebook or wherever until the re-run on ITV2

Well I'm sorry to say, it isn't going to happen. Dorna have got their hobnail boots out and trampled all over the "keep off the grass" signs. 2 sites have now shut down as they were threatened with legal action if they filmed at any track.

I most certainly aren't going to cough up the required fee to watch 18 races that Dorna want.. :smt011

I get by sport as I have to have bt internot


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...

They ask silly money as well £19.99 a month just to see 18 races they can take a running jump off Beachy Head

I tried BT as a provider the service was appalling. I'm with zen and I won't change.

I don't have a choice!

Well - I could have sky, capped at 20mb or BT at 60mb.....

Same cost and it's on a bt line so a no brainer...
