In my opinion, DC’s lack of engagement on here tells us all we need to know. He was here early on in the MAVTV switch, but has been silent for some time. Wouldn’t take much to jump in with a little info and put all these concerns to rest. That’s telling me we’re getting downgraded coverage and he doesn’t want to take the heat for it.
No, Broseph, I've just been busy working on the many, many other things that come with producing a series, but I understand your assumption.

The MAVTV+ live deal is good for 45 of the 48 motos, at $6.99 a month, anywhere in the world where you can also get on sites like this, or even just Google (can't speak for China or Cuba). NBC won't let us air those three particular 450 motos live at the same time on MAVTV+ but they will be up shortly after they air on network TV. The 22 countries thing was about MAVTV and unfortunately not worded better in regards to streaming. And I have been asking about double-box during commercials so everyone could see all of the live action, at least on half the screen, but like peacock, it looks like there will be commercials on the streaming. Most just don't realize that's also the case with supercross because there's so many breaks in the action between heats and LCQs and mains, and motocross is 35 straight minutes. It's hard to have such a cut-rate price as $6.99 a month (which is like, less than $35 for the whole series) and not have some kind of minimal advertising, but we are trying.

When NBC Sports Network went away completely, we lost our linear TV home of the last several years. MAVTV stepped up and we are working through the transition and process. We did not have the multi-channel options that SX did to be on linear TV as well as peacock, so we went all-in with MATVTV and MAVTV+, which ensures that the entire series airs live, though three 450 motos will be live on NBC, the other 45 moto live on MAVTV.

All 48 hours live is an improvement, in my personal opinion. We and the folks at MAVTV will keep working to make it better in the wildly dynamic and ever-changing worlds of television and streaming.

Thanks for responding! I’d love to be wrong about my assumptions, but the commercials thing is tripping me up. We didn’t have commercials on Peacock or NBC Sports Gold for MX. And having them for SX was a change that happened this year. If the MAV app cuts from live racing to show commercials, that will be an unfortunate downgrade.

Can I pay more to get an uninterrupted live stream? Please?

You lost me at "free"...MavTV was never and will never be free, the only "free" tv that you can receive is through rabbit ears...as far as double dipping the races are available two ways 1) If your cable provider has MavTV the races will be shown on there exactly as they will be shown on MavTV Plus so unless you want to watch qualifying there is no need to purchase MavTV Plus...if your cable provider doesn't have MavTV then luckily MavTV Plus is an option at $7 a month which is not a double dip because you didn't have it in the first place...

I was waiting for someone to point that out. But here’s the thing, MAVTV is part of my basic Sattrllite package. I don’t ask for it, I don’t pay extra, but yes I understand that some small part of my bill goes to MAVTV as payment. See I can watch without paying any extra. In the past I didn’t mind paying the fee to Peacock, because besides watching Qualifying, and Commercial free MX, there was extra content that I could sometimes watch. Now if I want to watch qualifying, I have to purchase a subscription to MAVTV, and I will get Motos with Picture In picture, and no extra content. I can fully understand where you are coming from, but if you can’t see this as a step backwards in terms of coverage then I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. Again I’d gladly pay for MAVTV streaming if it had a commercial free option. Just out of curiosity, why was MAVTV able to to meet sponsor obligations and show commercial free TV last year, but not this year?
I didn't say it was or wasn't a step backwards, I'm just holding my comments to myself until we see the first race and see exactly how the coverage is

So is DC saying we’re cutting from live motos or not? Sounds like we are since he’s hoping for a picture-in-picture. That’s a downgrade from years past is all I’m saying.

I don’t recall the commercials in the past on the paid app. I do remember seeing a stationary shot of the track and hearing a the ambient noise from the track and crowd while commercials presumably played on tv. Always thought that was cool.

Gladly pay a bunch more for uninterrupted racing.

I respect everything you've done and agree with most everything you say DC, but if we're getting commercials during the motos it's hard to not see that as a downgrade. Can they offer a more expensive package that offers uninterrupted motos like we've had as long as I remember? I can't speak for the entire fan base, but I would gladly pay a LOT more than $6.99 a month to get uninterrupted motos on a well functioning app.

This does not benefit us one bit. Streaming does not save us a dime It is an added cost! You can say all you want about giving us a better program but it it comes down to money. We pay more you make more, win win in your book. One less viewer for the series.

I agree with you davis244, I too would spend a lot more for no commercials, but I think we are likely talking about A LOT more. Look at the costs for MXGP-TV or MotoGP, I am paying well over $100 Cdn for each one. I am not sure even with a much higher subscription fee that MAV could pass on advertisers, as ultimately the paying base of fans is not that large.

At the same time, we are talking about 30 minutes plus 2 laps, so really about 36 min in an hour slot to air live. Cut some pre-race fluff and front-load with ads, and back-load with ads. The hardcore fans that want the live action uninterrupted are really the only ones paying, plus we are jaded bastards who unlikely to be influenced by any advertising Laughing

Will it just be 1 set of adds at the 15-20 min mark?
Coz it's more than that it will be annoying.
Races are 35mins, 25 min downtime.
Thats a lot of time for adds they can have 3 x5min sets of adds in between races or even more.
If the picture in picture is for 2-3 mins at 15-20mins that will be fine.
Hell they can put banners at the top of the screen the whole race and get the commentators to plug the sponsors every 5 mins.

The 22 countries thing was about MAVTV and unfortunately not worded better in regards to streaming. And I have been asking about double-box during commercials so everyone could see all of the live action, at least on half the screen, but like peacock, it looks like there will be commercials on the streaming. Most just don't realize that's also the case with supercross because there's so many breaks in the action between heats and LCQs and mains, and motocross is 35 straight minutes. It's hard to have such a cut-rate price as $6.99 a month (which is like, less than $35 for the whole series) and not have some kind of minimal advertising, but we are trying.

When NBC Sports Network went away completely, we lost our linear TV home of the last several years. MAVTV stepped up and we are working through the transition and process. We did not have the multi-channel options that SX did to be on linear TV as well as peacock, so we went all-in with MATVTV and MAVTV+, which ensures that the entire series airs live, though three 450 motos will be live on NBC, the other 45 moto live on MAVTV.

All 48 hours live is an improvement, in my personal opinion. We and the folks at MAVTV will keep working to make it better in the wildly dynamic and ever-changing worlds of television and streaming.

I respect everything you've done and agree with most everything you say DC, but if we're getting commercials during the motos it's hard to not see that as a downgrade. Can they offer a more expensive package that offers uninterrupted motos like we've had as long as I remember? I can't speak for the entire fan base, but I would gladly pay a LOT more than $6.99 a month to get uninterrupted motos on a well functioning app.

I agree with you davis244, I too would spend a lot more for no commercials, but I think we are likely talking about A LOT more. Look at the costs for MXGP-TV or MotoGP, I am paying well over $100 Cdn for each one. I am not sure even with a much higher subscription fee that MAV could pass on advertisers, as ultimately the paying base of fans is not that large.

At the same time, we are talking about 30 minutes plus 2 laps, so really about 36 min in an hour slot to air live. Cut some pre-race fluff and front-load with ads, and back-load with ads. The hardcore fans that want the live action uninterrupted are really the only ones paying, plus we are jaded bastards who unlikely to be influenced by any advertising Laughing
NBC Sports Gold app wasn't that much. I understand if smaller company like MavTV can't match that price, but even if it were MXGP price, I wouldn't hesitate. I want to watch the races. The entire race.

Commercials are understandable on tv but when you are paying for a service it should be Commercial free. Especially at the price they want per month it definitely makes the nationals a turn off.

In my opinion, DC’s lack of engagement on here tells us all we need to know. He was here early on in the MAVTV switch, but has been silent for some time. Wouldn’t take much to jump in with a little info and put all these concerns to rest. That’s telling me we’re getting downgraded coverage and he doesn’t want to take the heat for it.

I’m not sure how the dispersion of the return on investment goes if it’s viewership by numbers or what; all I can imagine though is the series will make more money broadcasting internationally and getting those views on top of ours, and are open to making it more difficult for US viewers in the process on a less user friendly platform.

I don’t mind a new platform personally, but it does seem there’s a lot of mixed messages and nobody stepping in to clarify confusion. Also i got lucky that my TV can download the app, I’d be extremely frustrated otherwise.

I wonder if Supercross is on the same trajectory for the switch?

This is much better for an international viewer.
It's like $10 Australian per month. 4months = $40
Sx pass was $170ish

Absolutely and seeing that side of the reason for the switch makes total sense and I think that’s great for the sport on a broad spectrum.

I’ll admit I wasn’t sure if it was a good switch at first but hey what do I know. I do think it’s odd there’s no clarification though on the confusion that’s all because it doesn’t help the cause…

So ill get the monthly. If its a dumpster fire with commercials and app performance. Sound, pic quality etc. i dont renew. This is how business works. Honestly hoping its great but i have been around too long to not realistically read the signs. Waiting for the day you buy a package sx,mx whichever. 4k great sound from the track. No commercials during the race. Pit cams where you pick the team and can switch. Always seeing the team sponsors and can see them working etc. . Also Dozer cam,if you like when they are working on track. Go pro on the equipment sponsored by CAT… Sponsor engagement constantly in your eyes. I am a marketing genius 🫠

Which is why the majority of people stopped paying for cable/satellite. I haven't paid for satellite since 2012, and only had cable for a couple years because I couldn't get Comcast to give me internet without some sort of basic cable package. Even then, Alli sports came out in what, 2009? I've been watching uninterrupted motos since then and the Gold app.

Just canceled my Peacock subscription until SX next year. May or may not do monthly for MX. The wife actually would watch other things on peacock besides Supercross so it was totally worth it for us at that price point during SX. Haven't decided if we will skip MX. Imagine other sports having to do this? Totally ok with it and I'll still be playing pulp fantasy all summer long.

Honest to f^&k, the internet will be the end of us I swear.

I am super engaged in this topic as Outdoor MX is #1 in my heart. Giant hockey fan and lots of other stuff but nothing compares to MX.

I loved Sports Gold and Peacock - both were well done and when network cut away for commercials they stayed and tbh that made you feel you were at the race if that makes sense. So, just for the record I would want that same coverage but it doesn't seem that will occur - yet.

But, ffs Vital do not drive DC away from these forums. He did come in and give you the latest info on what is going on. You may not like it (in fact I had hoped for more) but to have someone of that ilk respond to fans directly on internet forums is unheard of.

Jus sayin.

Follow the money. Lucas Oil is the MX Sports sponsor for the Nationals, Lucas Oil owns MAVTV and MAVTV plus streaming. Pass on the cost of TV Coverage of the races to the fans and keep the money! It’s a win win?

Can someone who has downloaded this app confirm whether or not MavTV can be cast from a phone to a TV? I camp out at the race track any weekend I can, and I’d like to know if I’ll be able to watch in my trailer.

I don’t see an option in the app to do that. Do you have an iPhone? If so you may be able to use the screen mirror function built into the phone.
