    Default MotoGP to become more elusive. More music for me

    Or is that exclusive ?

    Next year MotoGP will only be on BT
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/motogp/22464311

    As we cannot stream here I don't have any other options and I think I'll be better off listening to more music

    Bye bye Dorna and MotoGP

    REALLY pissed off with this news! (I'm not a BT customer...) So I either have to switch to them, or forego watching it. That really is pants. I just hope DORNA (the "owners" of MotoGP and World Superbikes) don't do the same with World Superbikes...

    (And if all you can do is stream it from BT, then it probably won't be in HD, and I wouldn't be able to watch it on the telly without a faff. Grrr!)

    thats total shit!

    Eurosport have had it for years and I watch all the qualifying and free practice on it in HD.
    BBC pissed me off last race by NOT showing it live in HD and they have the rights to the live main motogp. Odd that you can watch everything except the main event in HD when BBC feel that something else is more important than the GP.

    Now its gone to a 3rd rate pile of shit channel that about 6 people in the universe have.

    What a total cock up......im not happy....really not chuffin happy

    I hope Eurosport can still show the qualifying and free practice and the main race delayed. I'll NOT be paying for any more bloody channels than I already do.......ever!

    That's total pants. I will however still continue to watch it on - http://www.wiziwig.tv/ as I do most other sports. Not the best of quality but at least it can be watched without spending silly money.

    I actually think this is a ploy by DORNA to get people to subscribe to their own live video service, especially as they've just launched the new "multiscreen" version (at 60% higher...)

    https://secure.motogp.com/en/Subscri...013_FullSeason

    Will depend on what Eurosport get if any - but I guess I'll either have to stump up or miss out...

    Sky (UK only)
    Channel 413 (1 SD/HD)
    Channel 414 (2 SD/HD)
    Channel 445 (1 SD)
    Channel 446 (2 SD)

    Yes, it does look that way - thanks. Phew (for me) but still a major PITA for a lot of people - and I guess it will probably mean more cost anyway...? I also really like the Eurosport coverage, so am anxious how the new channel will do it.

    Yes but will it be shown on ESPN rather than the BT channel?

    If it is, its another subscripton required.

    To be honest I hardly watch any TV. Thus I only have freeview. If I want to watch any major sporting event I either watch it on the internet or head down the pub.

    The TV networks ain't getting anymore of my hard earned money.

    Dorna seem to do whatever they want.

    Been a few things they've done that don't impress
