I would be upset about not being able to watch this over the Internet, but after just checking the live timing it looks like another boring race, yawn.

Seems I'm on the lucky side for a change, mine is working fine. Have no issues with the pay thing popping up this heat either. I feel your pain though...

Another link from the "internationals". Sorry the quality is really bad, better than nothing, but really bad and I do not want to pay for JustinTV, another scam where they should also be paid only by commercials.

Here in France I have also had the same issue as the subscribers of DirectTv or Warner; it is one of the reasons I am angry with Youthstream/Motors TV, they signed an exclusity agreement like 1 week before the season starts!

Only way to grow an audience is to have it on the same channel and roughly the same day and time every week.

Have the 1st moto's recap and and moto's live or same day and be done with it.


I have both channels here at my house but I find the swapping annoying and unless I'm bored I will only watch the replays.

Can you imagine this in Formula 1, or any other motorsport for that matter?
Obviously you've never watched the f1 coverage on nbc sports this year have ya? Its not f1 racing, its a commercial marathon

So all this uproar AND CURSING IN CAPS is because you can't watch the races on your computer / phone / tablet? Why not just watch it on tv? Is it because you don't have cable or direct TV? Perhaps, if moto means this much to you and causes such a strong reaction, maybe springing for cable/Direct might be something to consider? I bet it's cheaper than blood pressure medication or long term care after a 'But Iwanna watch it now!' stroke.

Viewing at my home was incredibly easy today - Step 1 : Turn on tv. Step 2 : Change channel to NBC sports, watch live moto 1 coverage.

Mind you it wasn't all rainbows and unicorns, there was the difficult task of changing the channel to fuel TV to watch the 2nd motos. Whew, what an ordeal!


If you guys are this upset over this, you must be absolutely catatonic when something REALLY difficult confronts you.

Totally agree Sergio, well said.
I enjoyed it too via DirecTV. Oh yeah, it was in HD as well.
Quit bitching and get DirecTV. Problem solved!!

You're right though, changing channels was tough. Made me have to drink another beer.

Personally I wish they would just tape the entire race and maybe air it late saturday night. I'd rather record it and watch it the next day than the BS they do now. Not everyone gets both NBCSP and FUEL, plus I think it's ridiculous to be showing 1/2 the race on one station and the other half on another anyway. I've never heard of another sport that does that. Motocross must be really low on the totem pole to have to resort to that type of coverage. I'm not going to jump through hoops to watch these races.

I watch the races on DirecTV channel 220 and 618.Cheerful I'm just glad I didn't end up in a roadside ditch this week.

How so? The coverage is exactly them same as last year. First motos on Fuel/Allisports and second Motos on NBCSN.

The only thing different or new is the NBC Sports Extra online deal that everyone is whining about. It did not exist last year so it could not be a step backwards.

Seriously other than swapping motos/networks for this weekend how can it be worse?

You've practically lost a world wide audience with the changes they've made this year.

How did the changes make it worse for the Austrailian audience? Did the Aussie TV network that carried the races change? Are you able to view the first motos (second this week) online? I am not trying to start an argument but trying to understand why everyone keeps saying it is worse.

I get that some people are miffed about the misunderstanding that everyone worldwide would be able to see all 4 motos live online but that was never the case last year so I am having a hard time understanding why things are worse when for the US market they are the same.

I did hop on 1 leg to the fridge to get a beer while changing channels from NBCSN to FUEL, your right, that sucked.

You can't even watch the first motos online anymore if you don't have a cable provider on the approved list. Allisports.com did not broadcast the first motos live this week like they did last year. Things were set up last week just like last year. Because of the uproar, NBCSN has taken over the online coverage and you must have an approved cable provider to see the races streaming online. Last week, I watched the 1st motos online on Allisports.com and watched the 2nd motos on my NBCSN live extra app on my iphone. This week, I was denied ALL online coverage because I have no approved cable provider for NBCSN.
I'm not bitching but they need to get the online shit worked out. I'm not at home a lot and don't have the cash to afford cable right now. I do have internet at the shop and enjoyed watching whatever I could while at work on Saturdays. Some of us do work on Saturdays and even if I don't watch everything, it's cool to have Weigandt and Emig on in the background telling me whats happenening.
I will repeat so people will understand: IF YOU DON'T HAVE CABLE/APPROVED there is NO ONLINE STREAMING.

If that's true, cool, hopefully they have things figured out. I didn't try to watch online when I couldn't sign in. Try again next week.....
