Moto GP lost a fan :(

[Squashed_Fly]

With the news that next year, we will have to pay £15 a month if we want to watch moto gp as it will be only screened on the BT Sports channels, it looks like this will be my last year watching it.

Am gutted, but I refuse to pay £15 a month to watch it. I only pay £16 a month for Sky Movies which screens all day every day, on 8 different channels and gives me access to hundreds of free films in the on-demand catalogue. £15 for 2 races a month is ridiculous. Great if you're a football fan as they are taking over 2 lots of league matches as well but seeing as I would only use it for the GP, I can't justify it. I'd rather save the money and watch 2 live races a year.

Apparently BT broadband customers get BT Sports for free either through an existing Sky box or through the BT Vision box (or online), but from the website I can only see that you get details when you sign up for new broadband. Will have to investigate

I pay dorma directly for their online service, £85pa and you get all Moto 3,2 and gp. All practises , races etc and behind the scenes stuff. Been watching this way for the past few years as the BBC coverage is rubbish. Since F1 went to sky I hardly watch he BBC. Outrageous I still have to pay the license fee.....Pushing the web page to the Tv, make its just a good as anyone's service. Of course if your Internet connection is crap then this option isn't as good...

I wont be bothering as well. Everything is money money money. Our tv licence is gonna be worth nothing soon.

Does this effect the BBC only or Sky Euro sport channels also ?

Think its the whole lot mate

Remember many years ago when there was live boxing on ITV or BBC on a saturday night. Boxers where houshold names. Then Sky bought all the rights to show the fights and it all died a death.

I could not tell you the name of one British boxer of any note now.

Is it not going to be on British Eurosport then?? or live on the BBC??

Sadly not mate, BT won the whole rights to the racing from Dorna

Its crap isn't it, I don't think my broadband speed is fast enough to support BT TV even if I wanted it, and don't fancy subscribing to find out
