Al Jazeera To Broadcast WSBK In the USA?!

[KTMKen]

The idea that an entire channel supposedly devoted to Motorsports (SPEED!) doesn't cover the best motorcycle racing series currently available is disgusting...

That's just it...It's now Fox Sports

 

[Raider]

"rock the vote", U-versers

good luck with that - Speed2's still unavailable for Comcast subscribers, even tho' we subscribe to Speed......

Noticed they're not airing on uverse as well.
Guess I'm sticking to torrents.

Thank you

Jonathan Green is an egotistical buffoon with an irritating voice.

And bad cliches that he uses on multiple riders, i.e. Pocket Rocket Leon Haslam/Nori Haga/+... and that screaming drives me nuts! He's gotten better over the last few years but still....

I'd like to see, Julian Ryder and Keith Huewen back together again. Great team, sense of timing and sense of humor all together.

Something I noted on the PI race today too: 8 of the top 10 qualifiers are previous race winners from last year! Take THAT Moto GP. Oh, and I've gone back to liking MX more than SX over the last couple of years as well. :x Of course, I'll still watch all four, WSBK, MGP, MX and SX but I don't have to "hope" for a good race with WSBK or MX. :ride

Finally figured out I don't get "beIN" Sports Network. The channel shows, but will be grayed out during WSBK broadcasts. It seems I have to pay $52.99 per month more than I currently pay DirectTV if I want to see World Superbike (to get their "Premiere Package.") :thumbdown

No way no how am I going to (be able to) pay hundreds more per year to see WSBK. I'll just see it the summary highlight reports on Speed. Shame...

 

[Tharkûn]

So I went to BBC Sports main page, looking for info on WSBK....



Danica Patrick takes pole at Daytona :mad

I'll give her a goddamned pole!

Oh, wait a min; it fell off years ago. Guess that's not going to work.:laughing

WTF do I know? - jeesh!

".....For those who do not have access to beIN Sport TV, the races will also be shown via live streaming video on www.beinsport.tv.......

......And contrary to what is stated in the FAQ (frequent asked questions) section on www.beinsport.com, network spokesmen have twice confirmed that no special login will be required to watch this coming weekend’s races via live streaming video....."

So what you're saying is that I can definitely watch the race streaming from the bEiNsPort site....AWESOME! :rofl

News flash: This years "Big One" at Daytona happens on lap one! Take that anyway you care...:laughing.

Not a fan of Danica C..* but will tune in to see the quite large and bitter disappointment and pathetic excuses. :rofl.

 

[motopsyco59]

I'm looking at the beinsport.tv homepage and nada. Where's this stream?

Cheers!

Thanks for that. I wasn't finding it either! :thumbup

Seems to be working too.

 

[motopsyco59]

Thanks buford!! Watching now.

Even though I can see the "streaming now" announcement, there's no link that I can see to the page at the link. Weird.

I figured out what my problem was. I had to turn Java back on.

Cheers!

So far just like SPEED, but without the ubiquitous Montel commercials...

 

[budman]

And lots of background stuff... Totally digging the commercial free zone,

:thumbup BEIN :thumbup

Beggers can't be choosers..but with that said, I had a lot of buffering issues for Race 1 on Comcast Broadband...anyone else or was it just me? Im gonna watch the next race on TV.

 

[channelcat]

I on Comcast/Xfinity in SF. I wasn't getting buffering issues, but I did get regular stuttering of the picture. The audio was fine.

Cheers!

watched the live stream here too: 1st race "stuttered" a lot, but then I got 2 kids on other pc's playing live "shooter" video games on the internet. I think 3 at the same time is about/above the limit for my net....

Called DTV to see if I can get "beIN Sports." They said: "sure, it will cost you $52.99 -more- per month. That's a staggering $640 more per year. Uh, I don't think so!

I'll watch the stream......fu_k DirectTV....

what a ripoff! Comcast is charging $9.99 extra for the entire sports package.
