Mine has worked great since the app came out a few years ago. Today was the first time I’ve ever had serious issues.

Immediately at the end of 450 group A, it just said “coverage has concluded”. Now that’s all it’s saying. Tried closing out the app an re-booting and that didn’t work either.

Flawless for me on my MacBook Pro. Oh, and the NBC Sports app on AppleTV worked great as well.

I don’t fuck with browsers and this chrome cast shit. For four straight years I have said the same thing. Amazon Fire TV box. Download the nbc sports app. Has worked flawlessly for four years now. Not a single issue. Seriously. None for me.

I'd suggest you guys having issues invest in a Roku. $50 for the Roku, sign into the app, grab a beer, watch

I'll have to look into the Amazon deal. Does that mean pulling my ROKU and loading a different load of crap?

Dirt bike riders and technology.........NBC Sports Gold works just fine on all platforms, you can go the Firestick dealio, the Roku dealio and almost all browser work just fine. It does use a "pop up" in a browser so make so you allow for that type of stuff.(Whitelist/allow the domain) Try a different browser if you cannot get yours to work. (Mozilla, Brave,Edge, etc.)

Roku is fine but I prefer the Amazon Fire Tv box for various reasons I’ve stated in the past. Won’t go into all that now. Chrome cast is the last thing I would use. I can tell you that. Just introduces an additional potential problem to sort through.

Amazon = A+
Roku = B-
Chrome Cast = C-

Having used all three extensively that’s how I would rate them.

It all depends on the speed of your internet. If you're out in the sticks on your carrier's service you probably aren't going to get shit. They're probably capping your speed.
Mine's hardwired to my smart tv at 230mbps. Works amazing, lol.

Normally I would be losing my shit, but it’s 420....new slave cylinder just installed. (should have gotten an orange one).

What are the odds we will be able to watch today’s moto’s? Does anyone care, they have our money?

I remember a few years ago all this beautiful sheit was shown free on the big cable bill.

Yep. I have also had zero issues ever. Downloaded the app, pressed play, no problem. For 2 years now

It’s always worked amazing for me. Watch on my phone, or iPad and I travel all the time. (Verizon)

One time, when it went from the gold app to nbc sports, I had to login in again.

Today, it said coverage concluded after the 450a practice. I just assumed the coverage concluded until the races. ??‍♂️

Bummed for those who it doesn’t work for, but in most cases the problem is on the user end and not the app end. add blockers, pop up blockers... something dumb.

It quit working on my chromebook with a few rounds of SX to go. I've tried changing all of my settings but nothing has worked for me yet.

My only issue (aside from the adblock thing, which is understandable) is that when I pause to go grab a beer or a jalapeno popper, it just cuts off when the live feed ends. So I just missed the last ~2:30 of the 450 moto 1, which is pretty infuriating, especially being a Roczen fan.

One thing they could do to improve the coverage is have it all on one link instead of having to click a new stream for the 250 Moto 1, jump to 450 Moto 1, etc.

I'm sorry. I don't know how to do any of that shit...and don't want to learn. I wanna pay my money, click play and watch an entire season without having to do another fucking thing. When the season was on dish/direct...I turned on my tv, found the channel and watched the race. Now it seems you buy a puzzle...if you can figure it out...you get to watch. No thanks. I'll follow the races on Vital and attend the ones I can get to.

As an Australian this is what I had to do to watch:

Desktop
- Create an account & register NBC gold pass. I think you need to use an American Zip
- Use a VPN, will have to be a paid one because of the data usage, I use TunnelBear
- Set VPN to America and log into NBC acc.
- Turn off Adblocker if you have it.
- All should work as expected.

Android:
- Create acc etc.
- Get the "NBC Sports' app on your device, NOT the 'NBC Sports Gold' app, the gold app I couldn't get to work, You won't find this in the App store because we are Australian, you need to just install the .APK outside the store. i installed this version here: https://apkpure.com/nbc-sports/air.com.nbcuni.com.nbcsports.liveextra
- install Tunnel Bear on your device.
- Set tunnel bear to America
- Open app and log into the gold pass area
- All should work.

Apple:
- No idea I don't use.




EDIT: Another side note is that you cannot cast it to a TV because when you cast to the TV the TV actually fetches the video directly bypassing the VPN which will cause it not to work.

Also i tryed using a free VPN to get the video started then turning it off & that doesn't work either because the NBC Player pings the location like every 10 seconds and shuts down the stream.

No sir. I wouldn't buy a car that required me to install the engine and electronics in order to drive. I'm not gonna pay money to watch MX and hope I can figure out how to make it work. That's like going to a bar, ordering a beer and being handed some malt, barley, and hops...ain't nobody got time for that shit.

Used the Apple TV box at multiple locations in different states. Even different versions of the box. Works flawless. For those of you having problems, my guess is it is either firewall settings in your router or some sort of software you have on your machine that it is claims to be protecting you from the internet.

You might try these suggestions: https://www.nbcsports.com/FAQ. The Adobe Flash issue mentioned there could be the problem from what I am reading here.

Seriously? I paid for it and it just worked. Most people this is the case. No tech savvy needed

I don't understand all the problems. I've bought this 2 years now and always watch on my laptop with zero issues. Literally I've had no problems at all with it. No lag, no disconnections, no crashing, etc.
