Official Announcement: MotoAmerica LIVE televison package

Damn. No commercials on BeIn! NICE!

 

Found the race. Not bad video quality but am stuck watching it on my phone or iPad. Too bad it blocks streaming to the tv. The race was okay, Greg White made me want to turn the sound off. Not how I'd want to watch the races, but it's free.

Could have sworn this was announced a few weeks back. BTW, I have DirecTV. beIN is on Channel 620.

 

No commercials rocked.... It's been awhile.... On the tube at least.... And yeah Greg was still sounding like Greg...

 

I was thinking the same thing. I remember him doing a MotoGP race at Laguna about ten years ago thinking how bad he was, and having to listen to him for five races this weekend, he hasn't changed a bit. It's all filler, as many words that can be used to sound like he's announcing when really he's just rattling off bullshit. He is fucking terrible. Just put together a random mix of team name, rider number, full rider name, sponsor, color of bike, the words machine and motorcycle as many times as possible, a "side by side" every now and then, and never say anything remotely valuable, and you can get paid to announce a worldwide sporting event.

And I love Pridmore, but can someone please tell him how to pronounce Yamaha?

 

I would love to have Spies or Edwards as an announcer.

 

As a color guy I would agree, but what the series has needed for at least a decade is a professional announcer for the play by play. I don't know why a hack like Greg White keeps getting the job, I guess no one else wants it.

 

I like the guys that do the WSS/WSBK duties.

 

So did I read it right that go90 DOESN'T use your data? Damn sweet if that is true. Watched the Moto2 race at the airport. Good video quality.

 

I didn't think Greg White did a bad job. Maybe I was just excited to see/hear live announcing at all. Actually, I thought it was all pretty impressive, especially compared to last year. I bet as they follow the series it will get even better as well. It may not be WSBK or MotoGP level yet, but it's 10000x times better than last year's online coverage and that sorry excuse of a TV highlight show they made. It would be nice to get the excitement from the announcers like you do in WSBK/MotoGP.

My only worry is that the rest of the races won't be done as well, thinking that this was only this good because MotoGP was there as well. Will they invest as much for the Road Atlanta race where it's only Moto America? Hope so!

 

It only counts against your data, if you are not on wifi. So, make sure you are connected to wifi!

 

That's what I thought. A tricky way with words...

 

It will (would) because i can DVR it and watch it anytime i want.

 

Maybe so, but it isnt offered. I mean, i cant even pay for it. Charter doesnt carry it at all. And since my cable company doesnt carry it, i cant stream it off their website either. You have to login to their website by selecting your carrier and signing in. If it isnt listed, then you are prompted with that thing that says something like "contact your cable provider about carrying BeIN".

I would have to go away from cable (which is also my internet provider) and get Dish or something like that.

 

Broome, I'll keep all our DVR'd races and you can come down the Knoxville when you're back stateside and binge watch at our house.

 

Um, I have Dish for the tube, and cable for the interwebs...

I left Friday with nary a concern and returned home yesterday to watch everything except MA SB race 1. Not sure what happened there.

It works great!

 

Oh good lord, you are just looking for something to argue about and/or something to be right about.

Yes, we have been talking about streaming it from their site. That is ALL i have been talking about.

I said that streaming doesnt usually work for me because i travel alot, sometimes have to visit rigs, etc. You said then having it on my cable wouldnt work either. I said it would because i could DVR it when i wasnt home.

That was it. Nothing more. I havent and wasnt ever talking about slingblade or slingshot or any other shit. I was simply talking about my inability to get BeIN on cable or stream it through their website because my cable company doesnt carry it.

I am fully aware that there are other means of obtaining it.
