If they can't figure out how to test things the day before the race.

I can watch live mx feeds from across the world but not from kin my own country.. This is pissing me off to no end. Way more frustrating then its worth..And live timing is down to biit.

They need to get a DS3 connection, to handle the streaming. Pulling this much bandwidth over a DSL line isn't going to cut it, MX Sports.

Yes, it is free. And something is better than nothing.

But if you are going to offer it an expect people to watch it, then make it work.

I think I would rather just stay off the net (to not spoil the results) and watch it on TV tomorrow than be frustrated with no sound, no live feed, and random bits and pieces of video.

People bitch week in and week out about the GP's but DC and MX Sports production of this sport in a modern media is unbelievable. What a joke.

They are novices compared to what the GP's have going on.

That was one of the worst live feeds I've seen. Kept freezing, went off air a few times, no sound, no live timing.

It being free is no excuse. Charge $2 like youthstream do, do whatever it takes - just make it work.

I'm sure D.C was happy with the quality of the feed as well.

I'm sure he's not happy. No excuses and will try to correct it.

This shit sucks. No live timing...no audio. The sport will never grow with this pathetic presentation.
I thought not having a national in the SE sucked, but this is a fucking joke. Get your shit together DC or let somebody who knows what the fuck is going on do it.

What a joke. I would rather watch it tomorrow then watch that crap. I'll bet those guys are getting paid pretty well to to their job. Fire the amateurs and get somebody that knows what they are doing. I've setup for live feeds at the fights and if this kind of crap happened people would be dropped in the lake with cement loafers. Don't promise what you can't give. DC and crew, shame on you.

MX media is the worst it's ever been. Even if the Internet broadcasts worked reliably who's brilliant idea was it to split the broadcast between the Internet and TV? Complete waste of a perfectly good Saturday afternoon...

I´m happy that they put in the effort to give us a chance to see the race. The picture quality is way better than Freecaster, but Freecaster has better sound

The video worked ok here too KJS, but the fact that I have been up since 1.30am to catch
the practice times, then the racing, pisses me off a bit.

Mr "motocross is in good hands" will try to get away with a fake humble apology.
Will anyone buy that this time around?

They make money by getting sponsors on board, you get sponsors on board by getting good exposure. This here internet thing gets them more exposure, which can help bring in more sponsorship money. So yes, they do care about it, and the production we got today was an absolute joke.
