hahahah....I just posted the same thing!

you sure did ;)

well....I can't delete or merge the thread...so hopefully DP or some other mod will dispose of it properly...but what I said in there I'll put here...

we have all read articles of how Speed is going to morph into FoxSports whatever and a lot of racing is going bye bye...but to put into the print what we have assumed just kinda makes it surreal and freaks me out a lil bit...makes me wish even more that there was something like what MotoGP.com does for race coverage for WSBK....

http://hola.org/unblocker.html (http://hola.org/unblocker.html)

So, I'm an internet moron. Quick explanation of how this allows me to watch WSBK?  :)

and what is this for?!?!?!....excuse my ignorance...

You can lock it if no one replies.

I'll do it...

kids. :P

lol, sorry.

this will unblock the online region restrictions for things like the BBC iplayer (which i assume shows WSBK).  if that assumption is correct, then at least you can watch it online.

there are other options out there like tunnelbear, however that one costs a little $

Thanks!  [thumbsup]

Also just purchased my MotoGP Pass. Even if Speed does show GP, F them.

I suspect the racingforme requests will skyrocket soon. :P

there's also that route.. i was just touting the grey market option in ~public ;)

grey...black...

it's just a couple of degrees difference. ;D

 ;D

i'm also not giving out any invites   [cheeky]

well...I wasn't assuming to go to the seeding sites( like racing underground) because I know I probably won't upload much if anything...and that hardly isn't fair given how they are meant to work...

You don't need to upload...just let your client run while you're at work and seed.

It's the same...all about sharing.

AHHH...well...I am kind of a luddite...so there are still things I am learnin when it comes to this internet thingy dingy!...LOL

So I am taking it that my RU account didn't transfer over to RFM?  :-[

???

Mine did...

I'm thinking if you've been inactive that long they dropped you.

I would be all over a subscription program for WSBK  :P

Like DP said, you just need to leave your PC seeding while you're at work.

yup

Yeah...didn't use it much shortly before they went away so didn't really know about the change over until it was too late. Sad thing is, I am seeding other stuff 24/7/365.  :-\

so...pardon my ignorance and not to go off topic...but seeding = keeping your computer on a site to help feed traffic to it for as long as possible?

To file share you need to install software...a client...that allows your computer to connect to other computers to upload to or download from your computer.

The client runs in the background using some bandwidth, that can be adjusted to your needs, and you are seeding. You can configure your client to shut off at a certain ratio, or you can just continuously seed the files you have on your computer.

I use utorrent. There are many out there.

Now to get off this government owned network so I can do something truly productive...  [evil]

Seeding.......bah, when i was a kid.....we called it "banging interns"

http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2013/Feb/130213kqa.htm (http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2013/Feb/130213kqa.htm)

the thing I find funny....DORNA truly has their head up their asses on this....American's loves themselves some Teevee...you now have 3 races promoted in the home country of which you have no way to promote otherwise or tap into the populous or get a broader appeal outide of the current motorcyclists who may happen to be local to those events or read the interwebz....showing the short sitedness of themselves....1st it was post tobacco lack of advertising sponsors being tapped...now a lack of visability for the sport...what's next...a lack of bikes on the grid beyond 10?

...or maybe speed/fox does? "the series" doesn't pay the network for broadcast time. the network pays "the series" for content and then tries to make a profit selling advertising in those blocks.

for some reason or other, the deal isn't pencilling for one or both of the parties.

i do find it odd that the "odd man out" between the two dorna series is the one that doesn't have an "in house" subscription internet streaming solution. maybe, just maybe, with no broadcast deals in place, we in the states will finally get an "official" way to stream the content from worldsbk.com.

either way, i'll just feel less-bad about getting said programming elsewhere.

1) Hoping those-in-the-know can find it in their hearts to put up a "How To" sticky re non-TV ways to view the races  [bow_down]

2) Perhaps it's time to bring back radio broadcasts...

assuming the BBC iPlayer (their online sports watching thingy) shows WSBK (i think it does..?), just go to the hola.org link earlier in this thread.  it's simple.
 

Just FYI-

I installed Hola today, and immediately was watching the Welsh Snooker Championships on BBC.....

Worked great - looking forward to WSBK!

Thanks for the heads up. I was considering Tunnel Bear but the price is better for Hola (aka free)

Any add-on with the RaspPi ( XBMC ) carry it .............sports devil ?

Geo Blocking is killing me

Seriously.  Anyone?  Puhlease . . . .

For all that I try to follow racing (AMA, WSBK & WSS, MotoGP), other than sometimes getting a MotoGP subscription, I pretty much rely on SPEED for live coverage and the interwebz for news stories and gossip.  I think I have a membership to that-which-shall-not-be-named, but have never used it.

you're really missing out.

OK, installed Hola as a Firefox extension (not availble for Mac Safari?).

Now what do I do?

Click the icon in the upper right.

It will list the sites you can access that show the content previously blocked.

This was actually pretty painless. I just need to check that they stream the race on-demand. Don't want to stay awake until the weee hours.

Thank you!

Can anyone tell us where to find WSBK?

BBC's iPlayer has MotoGP but I haven't found a WSBK source.

TIA

Just google Eurosport stream.  Tons of sites

I can only assume that the BBC will broadcast the WSBK race. Am I wrong? I need to figure out what how I'll be watching this weekend.

according to Greg White there should be some announcement today about WSBK coverage in the US

Not helpful for me :(

guess we are going to be disco knocking on wood till then!

http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2013/Feb/130219d.htm (http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2013/Feb/130219d.htm)

Al Jazeera to the rescue!

Sweet!  [thumbsup] They'll probably do a better job than Speed as well.

i wonder if i even get Al Jazeera

me too...I'll be looking later on to see if I get it for sure!

If they bought Current, most cable subscribers *should* get it.  The problem is that no one watched Current or has any idea what channel to find it on.

Faint praise, that.

Dope smoking spider monkeys could do better. [laugh]

Why you gotta insult the dope smoking spider monkeys?!? They ain't done nothin' to nobody!

 [laugh]

Very true!  [laugh]

? ?

So.... is Speed covering or not covering?

i think aussie Speed is not american Speed.

there's also no mention of it @ http://www.speedtv.com/schedule/ (http://www.speedtv.com/schedule/)

(i have u-verse)

so Current is available for me.  if that's where it'll be.  only in standard def.   [thumbsdown]

c'mon announcement..

I think you're right!  A friend of mine e mailed that link to me but then I just checked US Speed a couple minutes ago and still no listing.  They are reporting on the practice sessions though but no video.

Current tvs weekend schedule  shows  nothing but dead celebrity   programing.

Anyone been able to locate Current on Time Warner? I looked through my local listings but could not find it.

Update:

http://current.com/getcurrent?zip=78023 (http://current.com/getcurrent?zip=78023)

This link will tell you if it is available in your area, just change the zip.

so it'll be on.. maybe.

will be online however.  but only live?  unclear.

Moto racing is just not popular in the States, not enough revenue to broadcast it. TV coverage needs ratings. You could always move to Europe.  :D

Bein sport website requires a subscription?

Will somebody please put honey booboo on a f'n Buell so we can get wsbk here in the states.... Please!

Link to find if can get BeIn sport tv here:

http://www.beinsport.tv/bein-offer (http://www.beinsport.tv/bein-offer)

still waiting to see if I can dvr it... if not can anyone confirm if they are doing non live streams on the bbc feed?

From what I understood, BeIN would stream the race online.

If you think about it... this works out pretty well for BeIn actually.

Pretty much gets every motorcycle racing fan in the US to start watching their channel right off the bat vs Speed who really didnt care at all for the demographic.

watch the spike in viewership go up and likely the marketing with it....

Just checked the BeIN schedule. 5 blissful hours of coverage on Saturday!
 [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

At what time and timezone?

any word on a time for the bbc i player?

Is SpeedTV still covering MotoGP?

Dude, do we really have to derby the whole thread?

I have Direct TV and live in Los Angeles. It's on the BeIN channel from 4:30-9:30 pm this Saturday. When I called Direct TV they said it was part of a "sports packlage" that would cost between $12-$20/ month (lots of soccer normally - argh). They couldn't help me out because their computers were down. Will check when I get home tonight though.

It cost me ten bucks a month for brighthouses sports package.

5 hour difference means I'll have a long night on Saturday. I need to check if I can stream it.

bein on dishnet

392 (SD/HD) beIN Sport USA
871 (SD/HD) beIN Sport USA (with Spanish audio)

BeIn on TWC (San Antobio) is channels 277 and 397, of course it's not already included in the Sports package that I ordered which includes SpeedTV, which I only signed up for to get F1, WSBK and MotoGp - sigh

That's the same type sports viewing package I signed up for a few years ago here in Honolulu and for the same reason. Now I had to sign up for another sports package to get beIN. That might not last though.  [roll]

well, let's see... f1 is now on nbcsports, worldsbk is now on bein, and motogp is available on motogp.com.

unlesss nbcsports is part of the package you sub'd to for speed, i'm thinking you can cancel one and get the other AND subscribe to motogp.com for their superior coverage.

Not sure if this helps, but here it is:

http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=50910 (http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=50910)

Any other ideas?

My Macbook is too old to support the newer version of Firefox and in turn, Hola will not work for me. It is also too old for Google Chrome and there isn't anything for Mac according to the website.

I don't get beIN so unless they stream it for free on the website, I'm not sure how to watch the races.

Current's schedule shows nothing but bullshit

This whole situation sucks  [thumbsdown]

This implies you can stream it directly:

But.... someone more tech savvy will have to confirm that....

Have you tried palemoon ..based on gecko

http://www.palemoon.org/ (http://www.palemoon.org/)

or best bet lunascape , all 3 engines in one package

http://www.lunascape.tv/ (http://www.lunascape.tv/)

WHAT !!!!!    5 hrs plus WSBK on Bein ...woot woot

start at 7:30 pm - 12:45 am Feb 23

why cant i figure out how to strream this shit!?

i'm going to wait and see if somebody steams the races. i had good luck last year on missed races.

http://beinsportlivestreaming.overon.es/ (http://beinsportlivestreaming.overon.es/)  BOOM

[bow_down] [bow_down] [bow_down]

cool. thanks
i guess this is the first race?

BEin....if you are listening... I LOVE YOU!!!!

Ditto ...but a little grueling with the soccer update and the SS race

but

I was able to bang off "Hitchcock" the movie between both race's

so keeps the wifeee happy I see 2 races she gets to watch a movie

I sat "Buffering" for 1.5 hours before I said eff it and stopped trying. 3 browsers all the same issue. And my pings to the site were sub 100ms so...

I got on, but it was choppy and would repeat sections of both audio and video.

The other alternative is better for me. [thumbsup]

That's where I ended up. ;)

i had the same problem on my computers, but then i tried streaming it on my ipad and had no problems.

Same here on my iPhone. It looked better and was more fluent on my 3G than on wifi.

I DVR'd that broadcast...I got through about the 1st hour and a half...then stuff came up to do and I was going to wacth the rest last night, but ended up having to go to the ER ( not for me) and spent my evening there in a waiting game...


I agree...thank you for opening up a new way to see something which I love!

Thank you for that BeIN Link!!!!

Worked fine right away on the Mac....here's hoping it'll be the same link next race  [beer]

For those that were not able to stream it, and have still not watched it, the full races have been uploaded to Youtube.

[SBK] 2013 Round01 Phillip Island Race02 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GICooBHoIss#)

Checa wipes out around the 27:00 mark

awesome, thanks :D

I DVR'ed the entire 5 deluxe hours and I have one thing to say.
Oh BeIN I love you so.

[queue "Ode to Joy"]

Let's start the broadcast with generous super pole highlights! Wait. What? Can it be? Is this how it's done in Europe? Free health care, copious amounts of smelly cheese, and this? Why oh why did my grandfather ever leave the land of Agostini? But this is only an appetizer letting us know how our riders fared during super pole on their shiny 2013 mounts. You know with the new 3 bikes per row grid and all. Ooh that Panigale looks badass...

But there's more. Long, languorous close-ups of these beautiful super bikes. Then pan to the riders in the paddock. Stoner's boner these bikes are gorgeous. Even the Suzuki. Good luck with that one Leon...

It's like I'm dreaming. This must be how NASCAR fans feel when they watch SPEED all week. But no time for that. Here comes the race. And it's still Jonathan Green and Steve Martin and the race coverage we're used to seeing on SPEED. But there's ...something...different. It's lap 20! Where are the commercials? Holy Fabrizio there aren't any! Wow, on to the victory lap, the podium, interviews and finally a break in the broadcast. I'm out of wine, time for a refill...

Now we're at the BeIN broadcast center where a woman with wonderfully large breasts (though admittedly dog-faced) is telling us about football. But the ball is way different and no one is wearing pads. Oh soccer. If you put a gun to my head I couldn't even tell you how many guys are on a soccer team. But who cares? It's time for Super Sport! I didn't even think that was going to be in the coverage. Wonder if Sofuoglu is going to head butt anybody on the back straight this year?

[popcorn]

Sweet tap-dancing Bayliss, look at those grid girls...

Oh BeIN I love you so.

Quit beating around the bush and tell us how you really feel ;D

Just caught the races... this is going to be a great season.

  +1.  [cheeky]  [clap]

 Did the same, thought I would give it a try.


  F speed

I just looked and don't see Aragon WSBK listed on beIN SPORT schedule for this w/e. Anyone know if they're still firm in telecasting/streaming the races?

i will check direct tv when I get to work tonight. hopefully it will be in will stream it

The Aragon races are listed in my DirecTV guide on BeIN...checked this morning. There's a 2 hour 40 minute block starting around 5 am.  [thumbsup]

I am not sure BeIN is fast in updating their program schedule with certain providors...for the Philip Island race, it read as Soccer in the program  guide until like a day or 2 beforehand....

Checked BeIn sports webpage this morning and they now have WSBK coming on at 5 AM Central time and running until 9:40 AM Central time.   [thumbsup]

Has anyone had success streaming the practice yet? Started almost 10 minutes ago
