So, I bit the bullet an got the package to watch the GP's. $95. Love the races, wanted to see them even though they basically doubled the price for less coverage this year.
I wanted to play with streaming the broadcast wirelessly from our IPad through the Apple TV to the big screen, which requires the App for the IPad/Phone/Touch. But if you access the races through the app on a mobile device, you have to pay again, $8 per race, even if you've already pitched your $95 at YS for MXLife TV.
I'll be glad to have someone show me I'm wrong, but until then, screw that.

As much as I love GP motocross, I'd rather not watch it than give the mafia that is Youthstream any of my hard earned money.

you lot get the AMA stuff sweet and we have to struggle, we get the GP's sweet and you have to struggle - neither are favourable to the fans......
paying for extras is total BS though, you should be able to buy the package and choose how to watch - not difficult is it - i hate robbers.
But this isn't about how you put it on the flat screen. Say you're away from home and want to watch on the event live IPad or IPhone. You have to pay again to see it if you're already bought the regular MX Life package.
My advice if you have an IPad is skip the regular package and pay the money toward an Apple TV that for the same money as the regular MXLife package will get you a lot more and you can just wirelessly run the video to your tv and have watch the races elsewhere as well.
For the GPs ill wait until its posted on here and then just watch it that way. I like watching the GPs but for me the 100 bucks would be better used for something on my dirt scooter.
Is this the kind of service where the feed hangs up every min or so while it reloads or is the feed fairly constant?
Or is it something i can download and watch at my convenience later?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
They both suck !!!!
I like the GP's but they are not getting any of my hard earned money.
how about ability to download and watch it later?

On a related note, there are other browsers out there that can make your pad appear as a desktop computer. Might be able to go that route so you can log in to the live stream.
In that case wouldn't you say AMA, FIM Youthstreem, and MxSports.
They started showing both races live on MotorsTV (which satellite customers pay for), they then developed a pretty decent online streaming platform for those without access to MotorsTV for which they charged an introductory price in the first year and they've now signed deals with about six other television networks around the world to broadcast the races live.
For whatever reason they've reconsidered showing the qualification races on mx-life, which might be interesting for a core fan base but ultimately secondary to the Sunday shows and 16 live GP's still costs less then paying for two or three box office fights which sometimes last no longer than one, 3 minute round.
Whats ironic, is that I can be quite cynical myself, yet I often find myself sticking up for YS.
There's something incompatible with capitalism and butt raping? Or capitalism and consumer demand and feedback?
Pay content is available on the IPad.

In past years I looked at the YS website and their packages and thought they were unclear as to what you would get for your money. Seems that I was correct to be suspicious.
To my other point, will an alternate browser work? There is one or two that run flash I think.
But i think last year was better. This year they dont post twitter updates, was good to follow Georgia too, no saturday races, less studio features, interviews,...
there are some proxy systems out there that allow you to log in as though you were based in england, and access things like Motors TV. there are also apps for IOs (like atomic) that spoof a regular computer.
i don't usually promote hacking, but it is guiseppi we're bashing around here, and he still owes me money that i'll never see, so........
And how in the world does that make it "odd" in this thread that I, as a consumer, would say that I'm not buying what they're selling? That they are asking too much?
Thanks for proving that the two-stroke issue makes otherwise decent people, which I assume you are, blind fuck crazy.
