MotoAmerica 2017!

How long ago did they update the xbox app? My roommate discoed it because the streaming stuttered all the time. We ran some 24 hour ping tests and the problem wasn't on our end.

Pretty sure I heard he was part of the purge, so his devoted fan base will have to subscribe to his podcast...

 

Wow, that was awesome coverage and a great race.

 

is BeIn paying MA to broadcast the races?

if not, the GP model isnt comparable at all. Dorna charges networks to show their races. they are big money contracts and i wouldnt be surprised if those produce much more revenue than Dorna's subscriptions.

MA prob doesnt have the capital to invest in a streaming subscription. the development and maintenance needed to run a streaming service like what Dorna has isnt cheap. rough guess, itd cost >100k to build and in the low 10s of 1000s to run monthly. MA cant even get their website working perfect. neither can BeIn w/ BeInConnect. maybe someone should start a Kickstarter to fund this for 2019, haha.

there are other options than doing it the Dorna way. Paid YouTube content for example. i have no idea if thatd work and BeIn would prob throw a fit.

 

About 2 months ago. Roughly. It looks the same as the application on my Mac now. Works MUCH better.

 

Ah. He discoed it about four months ago. I'll let him know. Thanks!

Let me offer Broome an analogy:

Chris, you go into a restaurant and they have killer steak, and the side is Mac N' Cheese (humor me) made with Manchego, Gouda and Irish White Cheddar. You're pissed because the MnC isn't made with your favorite. You leave and walk down the street for a mediocre burger and Mac n' Cheeze made with your god of cheeses, Velveeta.

You can get BeIN right now through means other than what MotoGP and WSBK offer even though your cable provider does not offer it. MA does not yet have the eyeballs or $$ to offer that level of service. Yet. By supporting the Big Cheeses at MA now though, you give them more opportunity to have that in the future and as a bonus save yourself endless minutes typing in how much it sucks you can't have it your way.

Chris. Have your steak and the "different" MnC. Step outside your comfort zone. Make it happen.

Blah blah blah, steak. Yap yap yap, mac and cheese.

I'm hungry.

 

He doesn't unnerstand short posts. You know that.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Y'all can thank me later.

 

I've been using the slingTV app on Roku and AppleTV since the beginning of the 2016 season and have never once had buffering issues. The app isn't the best looking but the races are in hd and stream great.

 

Hey Chris,

Not sure if you know this, but if you get direct TV, there is an app you can put on your phone that will allow you to watch everything on your home DVR Direct TV box. So if you record any races, they would be available over the internet.

 

when is someone going to tell greg white theres no such thing as a gsxr1000rr?

 

That may be like claiming a year ago that there is no ZX-10RR...

It just hadn't been introduced...but it was well on its way to production.

Just sayin'...

 

Oh wow, that is cool. That would come in handy.

 

Interesting. So Suzuki will make :
GSX-R1000
GSX-R1000 ABS
GSX-R1000R ABS

and a GSX-R1000RR?

 

and then a GSXR1000RRRRRRRARRRGHIMAPIRATE?

 

And then, steeltoe will die of dehydration and priapism.

 

So is Yosh Suzuki somehow able to skirt the homologation rules and run bikes that aren't even publicly announced yet? None of the BSB or WSBK announcers tacked on the extra R on to the ZX10R until this season.

 

And is Fong running the RR or the single R? If it's the single R with the normal 3 spoke wheels that's pretty impressive. I thought lighter wheels were supposed to make a bike handle so much better but it looks like he's not having any problems hanging with the factory superbikes.

Edit: Looks like stock normal 3 spoke wheels and OEM master cylinder. Dam impressive.

 

And to think that all the race teams built their bikes on the single R. Even the ma bikes of Toni and Roger .
