#1. Get DirecTV. If you have Comcast, they believe they own you and don't care if you want all of the moto channels.
#2. If you can't get DirecTV for whatever reason, bribe the missus to let you off the leash for a night and head to a bar to watch.
#3. Getting a good stream isn't as easy as you would think.
#4. Vital is the best source on the internet to find the one random hack stream out there. The quality will suck, but what can you do. Thanks guys for taking the time to post what you could find.
#5. A couple posted about watching on hqzone.tv. In pure desperation I tried this yet again this year in the same moment of haste and I know last year was nothing more than a hack off of justinTV in SD and not HD as they promised. Well, this year (as some of you know) they f%cked it up again. It came in very clean HD, but the lag was so bad it wasn't watchable. I don't know if they gave a crap based on their comments, but getting a refund from them is like pulling teeth. I realize it is only $6, but it's the principle. To make matters worse, the crappy feed they were able to finally get working DIED 2 LAPS INTO THE LAST MOTO!!!!!!
#6. Personally I will do everything I can to avoid streaming going forward. If you can find someone or someplace to watch live, that is where I will be.
I know you can watch the next day on FS1 and that is fine. I am a Vitard though and can't seem to stay away from this place long enough to avoid seeing the results here assuming I am watching the race delayed a day like that. And watching a race truly live is a hell of a lot more fun. Imagine if football games were aired like that., America would implode.
Anyway, that is my experience and rant.

What the fuck? Are you married or owned?
I would rather see a free and live net feed with nothing on tv than it being live and free on some little ass channel that only 20% of "normal people" get....
The straw that broke the camels back for me, aside from not having FS2 or MAVTV, was passing a Nissan dealership and seeing a car out front for $149/mo and my cable bill being $225+ after fees, taxes, surcharges and other horseshit. I don't know if it was a lease or financing deal, but I know you can drive a new Versa for less than the cost of cable. lol

how'd i know you wouldn't have anything remotely intelligible in your response?
nevermind, don't answer, just grab 'hold of my pocket and shush before i trade you for a pack of cigarettes.
Comcast.....completely blows. It wasn't just the moto stuff either which turned me away. It was expensive to get all the channels ( minus the moto channels ) about 30% cheaper. Now I'm a big movie buff , especially through the winter because it gets crappy up here. Direct TV has like 35+ movie HD channels. I used to have like 18 movie channels on comcast and a few of them were still in SD. One day I flick on the tube.....and I only show something like 6 - 7 movie channels.....and my freaking bill went up!
I called them and asked WTF?? They said to save bandwidth.....the dropped all the movie channels except a few and moved everything else over to " On demand ". I didn't dig that at all. I wanted to cruise through my guide to see what was on.
Between that mess and NO moto.......I called Direct TV the very next day and gave all my stuff back to Comcast and never looked back. The only downfall with Direct TV is they show Mav tv in SD......but I except it because everything else rules on it. AND you can change your package every month ( you just change it to a big or small package and your bill shrinks or gets bigger ) Comcast.....you are freaking locked in!

I work for ATT Mobility and we should be getting some pretty decent employee pricing for DirecTV in the next year or so as well. I am kinda screwed.
No one wants to pay for 250 channels to get the 20 they want. Plus it makes it a navigation nightmare to find what you want.
I'd happily pay $20/ mo.per channel for the channels I want
Why not a Motorsports package?
Nothing against football, baseball or Basketball....
But if it's got balls, I'm not interested! :-)
I called Sat nite and got it and cancelled Sun morning. Direct tv people were pleasant and didn't care that I did this for 1 program. Very happy w Direct tv
