For all us Aussie's, I've just seen that we have a 3 hour delay for A1, but do get the full 3 hour coverage on Sunday Jan 6. 5pm EST, 2pm WST.
Early days but it appears that the network change in the US won't affect our viewing as its going ahead on ESPN2 again. I can't remember if this year's A1 was delayed or not but have a vivid memory of delays for the first few weeks before going live most every week in years past.
Screen shot is of WST. Note that the online Foxtel guide only gives a 14 day schedule so no info on rounds 2 onward yet:

The Shop
Sent emails to Foxtel who confirmed ESPN2 will have it delayed, unlike being live in previous years.
The SXlive stream works out to about $180 for the season.
or $40 to watch A1 live.
Normally only watch the first 5-6 rounds live anyway, then most on delay after that once getting back for a ride on Sunday afternoon. Just want A1 live, the rest I can deal with on delay.
Edit again: There are plenty of ways to watch it live
maybe we can share an account, you can use 2 devices at the same time so i guess wouldnt be a problem.
A few providers offer Fetch, there's also Telstra TV which has Bein 1 2 and 3.
I've a paid for VPN, as the free ones I tried for a while were inconsistent.
The NBC Gold ended up costing me around $125 AUD.
The only complaint I had about this years Outdoors coverage, was the replay archives were lower quality than the live events. Hopefully, that improves, and the SX quality is better than this years - that Cleeng (sp?) set up was very inconsistent.
Buggered if I recall accurately how much it cost. I think I paid for about 5 years, somewhere around $70?
There are probably free ones that work well, or cheaper / better 'to pay' ones, but I'll be buggered if I was going to f**k around anymore with all that crap at the time.
A good VPN will enable you to watch so many (free things too) things that are locale blocked / restricted.
I'm always surprised that people will endlessly whinge about having to pay for something, that they are supposedly into.
It's sweet FA to pay.
I've no bloody interest in Foxtel etc, though my Telstra TV attached to my Internet tries to get me to go deep into the world of pay TV. Not fuggin likely....... So many people I know with cable, etc set ups, end up with the things they are interested in, always being 'bumped' for crap that you've got to wonder why anyone would be interested in.........
And hell, I've got some riding to do , as well as watch.
Is their any other way to watch SupercrossLive (practice and Qaulifying) without buying the Feld Subscription?
Pit Row
Wait till it's about 5 days before A1 b4 checking foxtel when race will be on.
Going to try a paid VPN
Edit: Using a 10 year old Macbook and a 4 year old Mac Mini and watched plenty of dodgy streams... Just have piss all RAM, and the battery on the Macbook lasts 5 minutes.
Nice balmy 43 degrees tomorrow, (109.4F) and the next week all around the mark, summer has hit, the bikes are away, bring on A1
