MotoGP Subscribers? I'm sure I've seen questions here about the official MotoGP website subscription services before, but mine's fairly specific about the video quality. Basically I don't have Sky and I'm not paying for Top Up TV. But I am still keen to watch the MotoGP races this year. Even if all the races are on BBC, I'd ideally like to watch a repeat when I want to, because I probably can't watch every race live (MotoGP round one and DD Cadwell clash - who planned that!). It looks like the best option for me is to subscribe to the Premium MotoGP package for EUR32. Sounds like decent value....... However, I don't want to be watching some online streaming video the size of a postage stamp (translates as 320x240) at 300kbps. I've searched the MotoGP website for further information on this and it would seem that they are using Windows Media 9 player. What I want to know is the resolution and bitrate of the videos. Are we talking 720x576 and 2Mbps (nice high quality)? I'd even be OK if the Live races were at a lower resolution, but the subsequent VOD service was at a higher quality. Anyone know? |
freeview gives you british Eurosport I believe, Set top box`s are under £60 for a good one, why not try that. Chris.:burn: |
I have Freeview built into my TV and it doesn't give you British Eurosport. You need Top Up TV for British Eurosport (£20 connection and £8/month for broadcast between 11am and midnight apparently) Unfortunately this still doesn't solve my "replay on demand" want either. |
Sorry:(, must have got my wires crossed, I get the basic sky package wich gives me both Eurosprts etc, the only other cheaper way is cable. Chris.:burn: |
Well I subscribed. In summary their video quality is poor - frame dimensions are 380x284, bitrate is 390kbps. I've written a bit of a review of my feelings so far - http://kapitalmoto.co.uk/node/11 |
