I am watching it live on Allisports.

When I am in europe, none of my USA streaming works, not netflix or any of my cable providers. I blame DC as well.

Clearly they have changed some settings, somewhere.

AND they even went as far as providing a dedicated link for the internationals and that didnt work..

DC's runs the show.
I did not know DC runs Alisports. My bad. I thought he ran MXsports.

We should burn him at the stake, (but after I get done watching this last moto that is streaming live as advertised)

What a bunch of pussies. Obviously there are 4 motos streaming. (Nice moto by Roczen by the way) Just because you can't read directions, or you expect coverage in the Fiji Islands, that is not DC's problem. If you paid, then ask for your money back. If not then just STFU.

would it not be more simple and hassel free if it was pay per view?

you pay you get to watch all moto's, you don't, well then you get to scramble about the web hoping to find a stream thats half watchable, which pretty much summed up tonight.

im not bagging on DC at all btw, the man has races to run, but it would be much less of a ball ache for him to stop trying to please the masses with free tv/internet viewing when, for a small fee it could be made viewable to the whole world, and if anything goes tits up, well, then it's the providers problem, in this case nbc's, and not DC's.

Your problem is with Alisports.

Alisports is the one who partners with providers, blocks european streams (apparently) and streams the races.

I don't hang off industry players ball sacks, I just understand how it works. If my stream didn't work because my provider wasn't listed or my european stream didn't work, I would be emailing alisports or my cable provider telling them they sucked.

I doubt that Allisports would choose to limit their viewers by excluding select providers. More likely it is the providers denying streaming video of programming they already provide.

I'm not sure which is worse, that DC knew this shit storm was coming and pretended everything would be great, or that he didn't understand the package he negotiated.

Is it really that difficult to stream a race. I mean supercross you have 5 guys in their moms basement streaming it to tens of thousands of people.

If your paying for mainstream coverage like MXsports does you would think they would want as many viewers as possible.

He will respond the same way he always does. Make an opening statement about how great everything is, make a faint apology that things aren't perfect, then an excuse about how difficult motocross is to cover, followed by a comment on how far we have come and that we should just be glad to view the motos at all.

No mention in the pre-race about the lack of online coverage internationally. No mention that US viewers need an approved cable provider from some random list to view online. Bait and switch.

If it were only that simple, we would not be upset.

I can't help but think that a lot of this bitching and whining is because the end viewers haven't really read what's been said. There were actually threads about the 2nd motos not being streamed internationally, and again, it's not DC not trying, there are a lot of sports that are still up the food chain to mx.

It's not ideal, but it's still better than it was, and until you're paying for it, whilst it is free, stfu.

I am showing 2nd motos on Fuel TV at 9pm Eastern. About to crank up the dvr and see if it's on there.

Either way, I hear ya but the racing is kind of a snoozer anyway. 450 is so boring. 250 was pretty good as usual.

From what I read, there was no distinction between international viewers and domestic (USA) viewers. I am super disappointed that the 2nd motos weren't available online. Let us pay for the motos. I'm more than happy with this.

Being a little over harsh aren't you? There were certainly problems with the coverage. Hopefully it will get fixed. Kind of betting it was an IT issue as the ipad app let you view without identifying provider, yet, the computer streams did not. Seems like somebody didn't verify the stream links. Even different links in the app behaved differently. Rather than criticising a statement before you have heard it, perhaps many of those things mentioned are in fact the truth. Anyway, things could have been better, but, lets not prejudge the situation before the explanation. At the worst it seems to be a situation caused by NBC sports. But i agree it could have been promoted differently. Just a thought ......

I can't believe the majority are ready to string DC up like a lynch mob...Allisports screwed up the streaming not DC...the press release was very specific that all moto's would stream live on Allisports so there was obviously a mistake. DC will make it right but then again would you if everyone jumped your ass for something you had no control over??
There are a lot of jackasses in this and many other threads.

omf you guys. I am not very happy either because The Score who was supposed to carry it here in Canada did not show it....but, i take offense to shitting on DC like this. Nobody, and i mean nobody cares more about MX than DC. Show some fu(kin respect or you may not even hear aout MX in the future. I think perhaps there were some mixups today. Relax.

Davey and I are friends and I almost always will defend him because, when you take the totality of what he has brought to the sport (when no one else was beating down the door to do anything whatsoever), he deserves huge props. My opinion.

That said...

Disappointment is a function of expectation. I, like most of you, from the pre-race pump up, expected to fire up the iPad (or w/e) this afternoon and enjoy a couple of hours of real outdoor motocross like I had for 1st motos the last coupla years.

I was hugely disappointed to discover a challenge about 'Who's your cable provider?' and moreso when my cable provider was not on the list. Especially since no one had highlighted that 'minor' LOL gotcha in sales pitch.

I do understand that we should be grateful to have anything at all. But...that sucked.

That is all.

You're right.... off with his head

The only thing with more consistent delivery and higher resolution is the vaginal bitching about the coverage.

Some of you guys cry like a bunch of little girls with sand in your "you know what". I don"t know DC but I would laugh my ass off if he came on here and said screw it, I'm out. Find someone else to run your TV package. Want to see a race go buy a ticket.

Hopefully,with these outcries something get's done to simplify it for ALL & gives access to ALL.
If that's the case. than they got fucking robbed. But I bet Davey still makes money off of AMA MX. he ain't doing this for free now is he?

It's business and you can bet they arent losing any money. Wink
But they do spend big money to get the best package they can afford within the budget they set aside for TV/Online Media.
But what it sounds like happened to me in regards to the online stream..... was they sold him on a live Ali stream -BOTH MOTOS.
I believe it is very possible that they (MXSports) did not know the second motos would be used as some marketing ploy with limited access to certain providers to get people to switch providers and reward those already using the providers.
Pretty screwy deal IMO.
Maybe someone missed the small print? I dont know. Smile
Should be interesting to see what they have to say.

Edit: DC just said he wasnt aware it would be limited.
http://www.vitalmx.com/forums/Moto-Related,20/Hangtown-streaming-situat…

So let's hope he can get something done to change this.
That is the best we can hope for after the fact.
