DC thank you for the content
I understand you don't want to answer the same question every year

General consensus that we got out of you guys last year was that you hold the second Moto's to boost the TV ratings

Understandable

If I only had one request it would be that when I log onto Promotocross.com on Sunday evening to watch the races that I can click on the Motos without seeing who WON right away! if there was a possibility where I would be able to just click on the Moto's and watch them without having any idea what the outcome was that would be amazing - it sucks when you avoid social media and the Internet for 24 hours only to log-on to watch the races , and to see the outcome by accident before it starts

but again I don't want to ask too much because I'm so grateful for the content

thank you and keep up the good work

It's only bitches that bitch ! We race Saturday and Sunday's during the day ! Not watch tv!

Har! That one's funny. Why do you think the same question comes up every year?

The thing is, Olson, that's Exactly what EK298 is wanting to do - pay the promoter - DC / MX Sports- to watch it.


Many of us, are willing / want to pay DC and Co to watch the full set of races, especially, without seemingly endless / constant advertisements. We are spared that crap when watching the MXGPs

I'd feel far better putting money into DC and Co's pockets, than I do Luongo's...... but, The World Championships will always mean far more to me than any National series, so, get my money, Luongo does. DC sorts it out, he'll get my money, too.

It was written in print that we should be able. This is second year in a row.
CBM racing or dailymotion has both second moto's up you can stream

At this point for the second motos it isn't DC or MX Sports that you'd need to pay, it is NBC. It is silly that they block out Countries that the broadcast isn't sold to but I believe that is NBC's call. And it might be because of relationships and/or laws, etc. in different countries pertaining to broadcasting rights.

That's exactly my point. I would too pay whomever in charge to see the races live (just like MXGP) but since we're not able to some people opt for other options putting money in other peoples pockets. That's the irony in this scenario. Capitalism? That's what makes America great anyway.

Nbc extra carried all motos in HD ,live The 2nd required a id and pw.

This on firestick.

Surely it is simple to get around that.

I used the hour wait to have a glass of ice cold shine and throw a burger on.

Well there is already a solution to your problem.
This link will send you directly to the motos that are uploaded. No spoilers whatsoever.

And yeah, I'm on the same page with everyone else here. I would love to see both motos live.

Im sure he doesnt want to blow out his tv partner on some dumb message board.

Like it or not, US tv is still locked into some old style practices. Having only 4 companies controlling the majority of content makes them very protective of it. At least there is a free, legal, HD archive of the races to be enjoyed around the world.

Next time the MXSports NBC contract is up, maybe there will be a live stream pay service.

In fairness to Davey, when I tried to watch the second moto it did recognise I was an international user, maybe a technical issue?

Not ideal for sure though.

I gave up on CBM replays during SX. The HD was ok but it seemed like they thew away 2 out of 3 frames. Instant
Headache. I ended up watching replays made by MOTOX5. Top notch.

Ideal scenario, do what MXGP does then anyone can watch it love hopefully with less ads like MXGP at their own convenience.

strange - no reply from DC, he usually replies right away, maybe he is on his way to glen helen

I too am curious why the "how to watch" info is not correct

how hard can it be to determine how the motos can be viewed and why are we so often told we can view the second motos only to be faced with that black box to stare at, or that log in with your cable id stuff even though we are thousands of miles away from the USA cable region

I would guess the issue is the availability of the software that can manipulate your location. Then you have people in the states that expect streaming programming to be free switch their country and be able to watch it live. I'm sure NBC is very against that.

An Mxgp-tv style package would be nice, but It would alienate the networks(mainly in America), and it's hard to professionally produce content without the help of networks. Even MLB, which has the best streaming sports package of any of the American sports leagues, needs the networks of the individual teams to pull it off.

Guys, it's Friday before a national. I'd bet DC is trackside dealing with vendors, promoters, and racing teams. He'll most likely hit the normal sources later today in the hotel room after a 14 hour day in the sun.

Interesting. The advertisement for Glen Helen clarifies things now: "To view the online stream for moto 2s on NBC Sports Network, you must first verify your cable, satellite, or Telco tv provider."

(The ad can be seen on the RD 2 Glen Helen sticky.)

Guess the "bait and switch" or "tell them anything" advertisement got a good bit of backlash last week. Promise them Moto 2 online and then let them figure out they can't get it. (Most likely it was probably just a lack of foresight on their end.) At least they came clean this week and clarified expectations.

Not a single response in this thread. Did anyone get a pm or a reponse on any e-mails sent? I wont even give it a shot watching tonight. Not worth trowing away another saturday when it wont work. Lid on from the promoters. I'm back when the races are. Will miss the race threads, single reason I signed up for Vital.

There's always several links available if you can't access the direct one, but quality will vary. Here in the Philippines GMT+8, we just watch both the MX and SX on Sunday afternoon local time, and it's usually available on VitalMX homepage or youtube by then. I suffered with streaming for years, and finally gave up with all the buffering and failed links. But, I can see why you Euro guys want MX live, though. Much better at the end of the day with a cold beverage.

Not that I condone using it of course...
x2. Looks like NBCSN will air both the 2nd motos live this weekend from Glen Helen. So stream links like these should be working for International viewers.

I'd rather watch on an official link to and support the broadcast (no adblock = revenue) but we pretty much have no other choice sadly...
