Bt to host Motogp from 2014

http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/190992/1/official_motogp_to_bt_sport_in_new_uk_tv_deal.html

Received an email from crash net and read this. it dont really affect me as i have bt infinity anyway but im sure some will have plenty to say about it.

 

Certainly not great news. I never thought the BBC's coverage was great but at least it was free.

 

I cant watch the BBC coverage as everytime that t&*t Charlie Cox says something I want to put my foot through the screen....hopefully he'll be put on the first plane back to Oz (sorry Yappa but you can have him back), always Eurosport coverage for me even if the Motogp is screened a few hours after the race, I wonder if BT Sport will do something similar.

 

am i the only one who prefers bbc to eurosport ... eurosport bores me big time ...

 

Correct!
So you can buy BT's shite Phone/Broadband service, get BT Vision, and get "free" MotoGP! The generosity is overwhelming!

 

so , this means BBC coverage will be finished ? and eurosport too?

 

I agree with you, Eurosport takes an exciting sport and makes it incredibly boring with monotone commentary and poor coverage. At least the bbc has clear and good images, Eurosport seem to use cameras from long ago, footage that the bbc used to look like back in the 80's.

Plus I miss a lot of moto gp on Sundays but the iplayer again has clear and good footage. Big loss for the masses in my opinion.

 

Miky_G - The BBC and Eurosport take their images from the same feed, apart from the pit lane stuff so I can only assume the poor quality has to do with the satellite signal you are receiving. Dorna provide the actual pictures of the racing....a bit like F1 Television provides all the pics for F1.

 

I don't have anything against the image, as steeve said it's all the same, but the commentators in my opinion are monotone on eurosport , i will miss the BBC this can't happen !! who would be the commentators on BT do we know yet ?

 

of course it is ... however i don't pay a licence fee out here in france

 

Steve, its nothing to do with the feed. Its the same in anyone elses house and my local. If you watch the same footage of bsb on itv 4 and eurosport, the itv footage is so much crisper. Even eurosport hd is worse. Bit I have been told in the past that the attention to detail is a bit much at times !

 

at the end of the day it means NO MoRE Eurospsort and no more BBC .. but that ginga fooker and his sociate will be comentators for BT internet or what ever it is that you will have to pay £12 a month to waatch .......

 

Bad times

 

my gf is ginger how dare you gill !!!

 

It's not even televised here in Oz!! You have to have the sports channel (which is a HGUE rip off)! So we have to wait a few weeks until the torrent is out and we can watch it.

Just watched the round 2 last night. Only bummer was it was in Spanish and no Lammy my Spanish is no where that good!

 

check out you pm
