MotoGP coverage

[sv_cath]

As we know, Eurosport has sadly lost coverage of the MotoGP this year and as far as I can see, the only way we can now watch anything other than the main race (ie qualifying + support races) is behind the red button, and the BBC have replied to my e-mail about this saying you can only record behind the red button if you're watching it at the time....

Does anyone know any other way of recording qualifying + support races? ie online (can that be set up in advance?) or know of any other channel on Sky which might be showing it, so I'm not tied to my TV for the 2009 season?!

ta very much

I think that the red button just sends you to channels 301 or 302 so you can in theory record it. The problem is they dont tell you in advance which channel they're using. I've recorded qualifying on my humax hdd recorder by just setting the timer to record both channels at the time the qualifying session is on. Bit hit and miss though.
If the bbc could tell us which channel it's being broadcast on, and what time it'll be simple.

Is that on Sky? It's just that 301 and 302 are movie channels for me....

confused now!

Might have to get freeview as well then I guess - this is what it says about digital...

With digital TV, you can record anything that appears on the screen, including interactive services. So, for example, you can record extra news or sports coverage to watch later. However, you will not be able to use other interactive features (such as voting) that only function at the time of broadcast.

I'd recommend a humax freeview hdd recorder (pvr9300t) for this. Thats what i use. Simple to use and a twin tuner so you can watch other channels while recording.

Racing underground are bound to have every race (and whatever else the beeb broadcast) to download within a few hours of it going out. That said they're not accepting new users currently, but are supposed to be sorting out an invitation system soon.

An interesting read, but it's clear that nothing's going to change. Here's hoping that Ryder and Moody move over to WSB and Whitham and Burnicle cover BSB. That'd do me as a replacement for MotoGP quite nicely.

Excellent news, I'd prefer to watch it a bit late than listen to those boring gits on the BBC!

FFS, I'm agreeing with Shaun !!!

Good decision by Dorna

On race day I will be training myself not to listen to the radio, watch telly news etc. Don't want any spoilers.

Anyone know if eurosport have retained Mamola?

Hopkins does awesome wheelies though.

Just seen that racing is on BBC3 - which is odd, but superb for me, as I have a Freeview harddrive - so I can record it and watch it later.
