You understand how much technology has advanced since then or are you under a rock? These statements are stupid. Just because we used to do it this way, should we never use that term called progression?

For those of you saying that downloading an app and paying for a season subscription is too difficult, your head is gonna explode 5-10 years from now.

I already pay $200.00 for fios (which i'm about to get rid of), no way I'm paying $75 for NBC gold. Greedy bastards can suck it.

Although I miss the days of being able to watch it on Speed channel here in Canada, there was a time I had no access other then downloading it whenever I could find it, I'm just happy to have access to watching it live again.

I hear ya, I've lived in multiple places where cable and cell phone are a no-go. I think 5g relay and satellite have the potential to greatly expand broadband access all over the world 10 years from now.

It's called progress. That's what everyone keeps telling me anyway.
$600 phones that cost $80 a month to use it and most of it is a waste of time doing things like posting on vital . Another $80 or so a month for cable TV plus whatever my wife spent on the Roku thing that gets us 6,000 more channels of nothing.
I spent 30 mins trying to find something to watch and the only good movie I could find was Cool Hand Luke, which was made 50 years ago.

Now they want me to pay $90 more to watch Supercross live, so that I can get frustrated because it doesn't work, then have someone tell me its simple just download the special app, reboot the thing from your PC, then shove the firestick up the rear end of the modem connector and it should work perfect on the tiny screen on your $600 phone.

No thanks,
No wonder this sport has become so expensive. If I was spending this kind of money to watch other people ride dirt bikes when I was younger, I wouldn't have had money left for my own bike.

I sure do miss that Cycle News in the mail every Wednesday.

Now, get off my lawn.

No truer words ever written on VitalMX. Its a 100% bullshit deal and I will watch Gilligans Island re-runs for the 50th time before I will pay them pricks yet another fee and have those 6,000 channels of complete shit.

Enough is enough, fuck 'em.

If cable TV is so bad, why do you pay for it every month?

I was able to drop the channels that mav tv was on that was costing me $28 extra per month after I bought the app. So far it has worked flawlessly.

I use the internet and PS vue on my little Firebox , it would cost me normally $35.00 , but I added HBO and Showtime and now pay $70.00. I get NBCSN as well with that package , and can watch all the races live , except for tonight and a couple other's. I'd say you're getting ripped off paying $200.00/mo.....Christ!!

I'm in Canada so it's different but I believe in the US you can download an NBC app on the PS4 and watch it through that since NBC Sports Gold merged into the NBC app.

I'm sure someone else can confirm that.

I really wish a new forum page would be created for all the bitching and crying about the tv package. I can't help but click on the topics to hear the new ways dudes are complaining about the best thing to ever happen to supercross coverage. The race is live on tv every Saturday night. Just select supercross in the app. Best thing ever.

It works on PS4. I Just had to go to the nbc website with the PS4 and back door it. Do not use the nbc app.

I'm pretty sure if it was just like it was previous years there would be no problem, but the fact is they are going backwards with it and on purpose, so it's well warranted.

I disagree. There were delays on fox, musical chairs on what channel it would be on and coverage getting bumped for other sports. It's live every week at the same place. No if's or but's.

touche i did forget about the stupid baseball and other stuff taking over the air on fox, I'm thinking more of the Speed days, those days seemed a lot better, maybe it's nostalgia talking though.

Fios is basically the best internet available, plus I work second shift so i have to pay extra for the DVR. I have other packages added on too but it's still not worth it.
Plus it's my first weekend off in two weeks and i was planning on watching some fooking supercross tonight dammit!

Let’s see,
SX - 4 hours for qualifying, 3 hours for the night show = 7hours x 17 =119 hours of programming.
MX - 2 hours qualifying, 4 hours for motos = 6 hours x 12 = 72 hours of programming.
191 hours of programming/80 = 41.88 cents per hour.

And people are bitching about it? Where else can you get entertained at 41.88 cents an hour?
