Wow. Suzi returns to Moto Gp... after losing her job at F1.

Bt scraping the Barrel.

I`m looking at some of the candy Sky offer alongside the"knowledgeable" anchor men on their sports channels.

IMHO Bt could not have done worse by employing Wendy Craig.

Rock and Roll Bt..... not.

Suzi is class ~ women in their 40s are at their best, confident sexy and relaxed about themselves. Her and Hodgy will bring a lot of fun back to MotoGP :D

.... and she's a long standing, fairly knowledgeable, bike racing fan, I think that was her original interest in motorsport wasn't it ?

Methinks along with her other new career of silly" celebrity" challenges for Char ree tee she may be better suited at Saturday morning kitchen.

Lifes for going forward not going back, theres now`t there.

but good luck to her anyway.

My pop was at BT. They could have been more progressive.

Never mind Suzy returning to Moto GP - She always was very clued up and knew her stuff (IMHO). My Gripe is with BT sport - when it came out it was free to BT broadband customers - I only ever watched MOTO GP on it. Then I discovered about a year later that they had started charging me £15.99 a month for the privilege without telling me - I basically had to renegotiate my whole BT package which saves me £400 per year but I lost BT sport in the process. No great loss as I think Hodgy was great Rider but a crap presenter, and as for the other piano playing gimp he's worse than useless. Julian Rider is a OCD muppet more interested in statistics than what is going on in the race and so dull. Bring Back Starvros.

rant over - must remember not to go to the pub at lunchtime it makes me too honest. :oops:

Like TTT,
I have moved away from BT and saved £30 a month on broadband, landline and mobile fees but lost BT sport in the process.
Will watch the highlights on channel 4 (or is it 5) a couple of days later.

Aye BT sport was free for BT broadband customers until BT paid way over the odds for poxy football :evil: then they wrote to existing customers advising that they need to stump up more dosh if they wish to continue using their sports channel. Like TT we only ever watched Moto GP and didn't think it right or fair that we should be expected to subsidise damned fitba! So we bid BT au revoir and took a phone & tinternet only package from the competition :roll:

Aye, I posted about these earlier. It`s an option and apparently not illegal to sell them.

It opens up lots of other interesting channels too :wink:

If your on Android then Mobdro is all you need search through the Chrome browser, make sure you allow for outside sources to access whilst installing the app and then go to the sports section and hey presto Moto-GP live on your Android device

Excuse my being behind the drag curve here, but the V8S box BMbler posted is for satellite channels - SKY etc., which means I have to also buy and install a satellite dish.

Gunk190 shows how to get moto gp on my phone - too small a screen to view the action on.

Is there an easy and legal way to view BT sport2 Moto gp over the internet without paying extortionate BT charges?
(They have just informed me that £1.60pm I was paying to keep my email address is now going up to £5.00pm).

Please bear in mind I don't get technology unless I can turn it with a spanner.
So simple explanations would be appreciated.

Not so sure about that John, My understanding was that channels are fed via internet and as long as you have got an internet connection to hook your box up to then you do not need a dish. The guy who is flogging the boxes and the "annual gift" is sending you the channels via internet.

I am a bit surprised at some of the costs that folk are being charged for Bt sport. Amanda tells me that our calls, internet/broadband and bt sport are costing us £128.00 per quarter. About £33 per month.

I do not think that is unreasonable.

Chris

As per my earlier post, I saved £30 pm by going to EE from BT for my mobile, landline and broadband.
I was also being charged £15 pm just for the BT sport on top of all the other charges.

Looks like the V8S option might be worth it, except if it goes wrong the ebay sellers are likely to be out of biz or have no after sales service for when I have a problem.
