Yeah, I gave up on it to and am using the cricfree posted on the first page http://cricfree.sx/fox-sports-1-usa-live-stream .

Sucks, the quality was quite good on the livestream link.

No hocus pocus here, watching it on regular cable. What's everyone else's problem? Evil

It started to work for me again right before the main. Hopefully we have this all year. Well, better yet, if DISH would just get the damn FOX Sports GO app I'd be set Angry

Ok mjskier's method worked for me. The stream fizzled out a couple times right before both main events but I was able to refresh the page and get it started again. What I don't understand is why do people across seas get to watch it streamed for free but people in the native country of the event don't?

Well I tried the FoxChannel feed direct (a 3 day trial for $5.00-ish dollars), and it was worth about ZERO. Absolute friggin crap viewing, commercials were about all we could view without glitches . Had some friends over to watch the "Big Season Opener"...they won't be doing that again anytime soon.

I've wondered the same thing why the night show is not streamed in the USA. I'd pay to be able to watch the night show streaming live HD

I've got Direct TV, so I've never had a problem getting the races. But that's all I hear about around here is how nobody can find the races blah blah blah. My neighbour this week asked me what I thought of the races. I asked him how he watched it. He told me he has Shaw Direct and gets Speed. Not much hocus pocus there either.

There you have it (Canadian) folks. Switch to Shaw and you will have no problems flicking on the TV and watching the races.

Sooner or later all carriers are going to drop Speed, the CRTC might even shut them down. The reason Rogers and others dumped them was because they keep broadcasting an identical set of shows and spots week over week except for a once a week live event.

I just wish Fox would let us pay for a live stream...they are the owners of Speed in canada so its not like they are stepping on anyone who bought the rights for Canada- they own the rights here too.

I pay for MotoGP stream and I have to admit I FAR prefer a well done stream like that to a regular TV broadcast. They walk through the pits and starting line interviewing every rider before the race, you also get to see a ton of stuff behind the scenes. stuff regular TV would never have time or desire to put on air.

Call Shaw up & ask them how much longer they will be carrying Speed. You will not get an answer - or the answer will be 'can't say at this time'. The clock is ticking there.

I would switch to Shaw in a heartbeat, but I GUARANTEE the minute I do, Speed gets cut-off. Thats just how things work in my world, lol.
Seriously though, I read somewhere that Speed had around 3.5 million subscribers in Canada. Lets just say even if 10% were SX/MX fans... if SOMEONE sold real solid, Live feeds, that is a decent amount of paying customers.
I think its time to start "The Bineano Channel HD".... All SX/MX ALL the time, lol.

Problem isn't the subscribers, its their broadcast licence. Their licence is granted to broadcast motorsports. 95% reruns of the same reality TV shows over and over again = in violation of licence.

I honestly wish they'd just drop the channel in canada and allow subscribers to their online service instead.

I can't see any feeds from live stream for the race. Set my location to Germany. This blows serious donkey dicks. I'd pay good money to see this shit but can't even do that. Brutal.
