Yayyyyy!!!! Feld will make even more money on their next deal... then not share a single penny with the riders!!! All the while keeping our sport away from mainstream eyes behind a paywall... resulting in fewer bike sales and less opportunity for our riders to get media attention.... yayyyyyyyy!!!!

What does Feld have to do with Peacock raising their prices?….some people bitch just to bitch…

Streaming TV sucks for me. People have tried to talk me into cutting the cord as I still have cable, but I love how simple it works, especially the DVR. 

Ex.  when you're watching NFL games on two different channels. You can just hit the back button to go to the different game. Try doing that on a streaming Game. What a PITA! 🤬

When I'm at my lady friend's house.She has roko TV What a pain in the ass it is to use cannot stand it. I would rather pay more for the ease and simplicity of cable.

Yes, I still have to stream motocross on peacock unfortunately. 

We cut they cord years back.  To be honest I was working huge OT for several years at the time so I wasn't watching much of anything.  That's neither here nor there...I got tired of Dish and Direct playing games...$150 bucks was my limit.

Now I play the even worse "subscription" game.  And there's still a lot of crap to dig through to find a nugget.  I watch too much bullshit...I'm gonna do more fishing this summer.

I am retired and admitted sports junkie..... 🫡 so that means I watch a lot of sports and racing of any kind.

And with the brutal summers in Arizona, a lot of time is spent inside. I record a lot of stuff on the DVR and it's a great tool to watch stuff when you want to. 

I'm not even sure if you can DVR stuff from streaming services, the only experience like I said is my lady friend who has roku TV been seeing her for over a year.

All I know is it's a PITA to use and I'm always relieved when I can go home and watch stuff on my DVR.... 😂

 Yes it's a ripoff, matter of fact I probably need to call cox RIP-OFF cable and cancel some movie channels I haven't been watching.

I hear ya.  I don't mind the roku in the garage.  The only time it ever gets turned on is for the races.

I've got a badass Sony for watchin'.  I spend too much time in front of it.  The wife doesn't get around so well and I feel guilty about her sitting by herself.

I switched to Spectrum awhile back and so far it kicks the asses of all my previous suppliers.  Got the whole package and they're always adding free channels to the package. Very happy so far. (3 years)

I access the services via a cheap tower computer hooked to my TV & using a wireless mouse . In addition to moto, I watch a ton of Premier League matches on Peacock, and I just play each at the same time in separate tabs on Firefox, Super simple to switch between content that way. Plus I can keep Vital open during the races to read the comments.

I also keep a basic Dish package for content only available on the networks though. Like you said, having a DVR is a bonus.

Confirmed today that RDL and the Races are both live and available on YouTubeTV. I guess I won’t be going back to Peacock after all. For sure not paying $170/year just to watch replays. I’ll find them elsewhere.

Some Amex cards come with a statement credit for free WM+ so you can get wm+ for free and then use that to get Peacock for free. 

 

But man these assholes seem desperate to get us to start pirating everything.

They were live as you said but I’m not so sure they will all be on there. 

I’m paying by the month for Peacock so if YouTube TV continues to show them live then I’ll drop Peacock.

Just like cable, started cheap then the prices go up. Streaming will end up costing way more than cable for a far inferior product.

The free bootlegs on YouTube are uploaded before Peacock uploads their own $109.99 replay.  Someone should tell the boating party guy that in the other thread.

When i was renewing, i was trying to get the offer too but it wasn’t coming up.  I had to wait until my renewal date was close and then when i went to cancel they offered me the deal.

If you can, EVERYONE should drop Amazon all together.  Bezos does not need your money and Prime streaming blows apes.  Downvote away.

I cancelled mine just now as it was set to renew on June 10. It gave me a $59.99/year offer. I declined and finished the cancellation. Maybe they’ll send me another offer? 

I really hated paying so much to have ads. I didn’t think the ad version would be so bad since we get forced commercial breaks/ads during the live races anyways. But when I try to go back and watch replays of races it is infuriating at the amount of forced commercials you get there. Anytime you fast forward or rewind you’re forced to watch 1-2 min of commercials. 

If they don’t send me a super cheap offer I’ll likely end up giving them MORE money just to get rid of the fucking ads on replays. It will still peave me to have ads during live races, but I’m a nerd and like to rewatch old races. I wish they would just show a live track feed of whatever is happening instead of commercials for ad free subscribers paying $170/year. Regardless having races shown live instead of tape delay is pretty awesome and I would still pay more if it was the only choice. 

This x100!
