Watching GP religiously has become something me and my friends look forward to on a weekend.

Now you have to pay to subsidise the overpaid fairies kicking a ball around, essentially. Cunt's trick bundling MotoGP with football - I'll be streaming it illegally from now on.

To say they're trying to get more people interested in MotoGP they sure are going the wrong way about it...

I think I shall be phoning up BT. One reason I stayed with them rather than go with sky for internet was free BT sport.

I was going to switch from Virgin media to BT because of the free MotoGP availability. I guess I shan't bother now.

Good luck with that!
If fortune smiles on you, the call center wallah, based in a secret location, probably the indian sub-continent, may have a rudimentary grasp of English. This, tentative, grasp of the language will evaporate should you interject with a question that's not on the script.
You could of course use one of BT's dedicated forums, you will get no sense, whatsover, out of the BT employed problem solvers, you might get some info from other posters!

All in all, you're pissing in the wind, the whole system is set up to ensure you cannot speak to anyone with any clout, whatsoever!

Save your breath and just grumble about it here, it will have exactly the same effect, ie buggerall!

I used to watch every race/qualifying ect, stopped watching when it went to bt sport as it seemed like a good time as I didn't have bt, although the money wasn't a major factor just a bit annoying.
Still stream the occasional race but was spending way to many sunny weekends at home watching tv.
Don't really miss it to be honest.

I also used to watch it regularly on Eurosport; now I try and stay away from the news for 24h and watch the ITV4 highlights on Monday. I don't want it that much to pay specifically for it.

I just download the torrents, could stream it on the Pi but I share it about with those less technically minded at work. Like the Robin Hood of torrenting Cool

Thats ok but you get 1 or 2 laps of the Moto 2 & 3 races which 90% of the time are much better races.

I'm preferring the Highlights on ITV4 too, as it's summer and don't want to tie up hours watching TV when I could be polishing my bike, and I've worked a lot of race weekends and missed quite a few races.

Not least I don't like the current presenter's and so the highlights suit me much better anyway.

Would have liked to have seen more TT coverage this year and maybe even some live televised races instead of an hour at night between 2-3races and only showing the top 3-4finishers.

Already used the illegal streams before I got access to a BT Sport account (stole my dad's) - it was just nice having the quality and reliability :-/

Glad I went with Virgin Media for t'interweb. BT now has nothing good to offer!
