So, since the BBC lost it I've been telling myself they will come through and get wsb or something so I can watch some racing. But no. So what options do I have to watch motogp?
I want to see it on my telly. I don't have a computer with HDMI out yet, but I'm either going to get a chromebook or a macbook air next month.
So far I'm thinking a motogp.com video pass. I'm not up for any BT shenanigans, so don't suggest that!

Stream it and deal with not watching it on your tv.

As I understand it, these hooky channels do bugger about with bitrate, and are a bit flaky. What's your experience?

Dunno what the mods policy is on this forum, but.... Ask around, there are 'fixed' satellite receivers that get you everything...... Not that I would ever condone such a thing.......

I would still have to install a dish though. I'd prefer kosher solutions to be honest. I like HD, if I stream from motogp.com through a chromebook, would that be HD? Anyone done it that way?

Chromebook might not be powerful enough to stream it in HD.

Would possibly be stuttery and a bit crap quality wise.

Lower quality will be okay though.

Renew your contract for broadband and you'll get it free again. Assuming you're not having issues with the broadband and want to change, that is.

I got Xbmc last year after hearing about it in the geek zone

BUT it was like chuffing rocket science I didn't have a clue my mate was telling me he downloads films on it and everything all I could figure out to do was play media already on my computer Confused

I use it as a media client only.

If you get stuck.... YouTube is full of useful advice.

Unconfirmed; ITV4 may show highlights of each race.

If true then better than a poke in the eye. Thumbs Up

Highlights are not good enough for me. I'd suggest finding an empty pub with bt sports - most are on a sunday eve. This was my plan until I got fired (chef with tv in view). If you can get a few others in, they might be willing to record to watch at a convienient time.


If not, Ive posted a link in previous threads on bcf where you should be able to download in hd, many thanks to the bloke ripping it! Unfortunately my internet is BT and therefore utter shite - even browsing bcf is a challenge.

Im a bit unsure about commentators - Julian Rider, Toby Moody and Neil Balding were great. I cant watch BSB/WSB becuase of the accent and horse racing style Laughing

Grab XBMC from >> https://xbmc.org/download/
Install it
Go here >> https://www.mashupxbmc.com/install/
And do what it says.
Once installed, look in "Sports" then "Buzzy Sports" or "K1m05 Sports"
