How the F@@@CK are we supposed to watch motogp now?

#1 Post by Hooligan » Tue Apr 07, 2015 2:05 am

Shaw cable has dumped FoxSports1 which is the only cable channel that shows MotoGP in N America. No other cable companies carry it either. So how are people planning to watch the races?

We pay $100 a month for cable and now they don't show the two things I want to watch, MotoGP and Supercross, which incidentally makes me SUPER CROSS! I think we are gonna dump out cable TV entirely and go with online content only. F@CK EM!

If its on youtube then yes it can... Computer, Smart TV or a box that connects to the net will do it. Else download it and put it on a USB stick etc.

MotoGP does NOT appear on YouTube.

We will prob have to buy a video pass and stream it off their website. Still trying to work out how to watch Supercross.

Is it full of viruses? I went to a streaming site suggested by a friend and caught a virus first time there. Apparently I didn't use protection and now it burns when I pee. :smt010


Send me the link pls and at least I can check it out.

We are going to. Just need to get everything sorted computer wise and wifi wise and then we are gonna do it. I'm not gonna pay $100 a month and not be able to watch racing.

I ditched cable last summer for that very reason. A subscription to MotoGP.com cost less than 2 months cable and has everything you could ever want. WSBK has a similar service for less money. Just waiting for F1 to get on board the subscription thing.

I bought an upgraded wifi and a new, top of the line Mac last night so that we can stream video to our tv. The old computer has died and needed replacement anyway. I expect we will cut cable within the next couple of weeks. I will be letting Shaw know exactly why.

I'm trying to do the same with Telus! Will pay for the damn MotoGP subscription then.

Anyone know where to stream sporting events from? Don't think I will be able to cut cable until I can find an alternative for the roommmate to watch the Flames!
