[font="@Microsoft JhengHei"]Is it me or does anyone else think outdoors coverage is not as great as it should be at this point in the sport. It's great to have coverage, but having it split up between two different cable channels at one moto a day. Boy we really have come a long way with outdoors the purest form of the sport[/font]
Mx Tv coverage lame

Even better NBC sports channel is not available on BELL satelite TV here in Canda, so no MX this year on the tube...

It's one thing to be a fan and wish for better coverage, but come on! This is a small sport, and the dollars aren't there for all motos on one channel. I'm not on other sports message boards to compare, but jeez, for the last 4-5 days it's just crying and moaning when the coverage is significantly better than just a few years ago!
If you've got AT LEAST a few million $$$$ to hand over to MX Sports, go ahead and improve things. If not, all of these posts/threads aren't doing much.

Yeah, I'll take what I can get. Better than reading about it 3 months later in a magazine like when I was a kid
. I just wish Allisports would stream both motos.

. I just wish Allisports would stream both motos.Isn't that the truth. Prior to cable tv, you had to read Cyclenews.
I can't find Fuel or this NBC sports channel in my comcast menu. Guess I have to read about it here tomorrow.

When they started this format with Alli a couple years ago it didn't seem to make too much sense. But out of it, to be able to see (near) both full moto's is kinda cool too. What I don't get is this years contract with NBC sports network. The "prime-time" viewing broadcast of 12am? WTH? It's recorded, 12am for a broadcast time? We were doing a whole lot better with speed.

Hate this format! Its going to be a long season watching moto when they split it like this, Im sure NBC puts up some decent coin to get a piece of the action but for the fan it stinks! Take it all or leave it! I would prefer the ladder as Fuel/Speed do a much better job & show things in there entirety.

You can watch the first motos on Alli sports.com and there is hardly any commercials. You can even plug a laptop into a tv to see it on a big screen.
Posted 19 May 2012 - 04:46 PM
Fuel either needs to step up their game and go HD, or Speed needs to take over the whole series. Either way, both motos need to be on the same channel and in HD.

Edit: Maybe Comcast bought NBC who can tell? One way or the other it got there via acquisition.

Your FuelTV channel isn't in HD? Mine sure is. Despite having to watch second motos on another channel, I thought pic, sound, and overall presentation were really good. Clarity was a little fuzzy on the leader though - all I could see was a yellow blur

I tried this but all I could see was a commercial for the 2012 KX450 over and over. I could watch highlight clips but nothing live. At least the link to live lap timing let me know who was where.
