  1. Do any of you subscribe to the World Superbike Site? How does it compare to
    motoGP for content and do they show live Superpole Qualifying?

    Thanks,

    Craig

    Just trying it now and boy is the site slow. I can't even get to a trial
    yet. OK, I got in and it looks OK.

    But this is the part I didn't like on the signup page:

    *North America and Spain DO NOT receive live video streams but DO receive
    full race video on-demand. Australasia (?) DOES NOT receive either.

    Sent too quick

    Last year on MotoGP.com I could watch qualy and races live, from here in the
    USA which is what made it useful for me. If SBK.tv is blocking it, AND does
    not show qualy (I saw nothing on the site which said they do) I'm not
    interested.

    That does not make sense. (a) because MotoGP has always offered live video
    streams (albeit of differing quality and reliability), and (b) because
    without very intrusive and relatively expensive technology that a content
    provider as rule ought to ignore it is impossible for them to tell the
    geographical location.

    In Spain (and most European countries I know) you get coverage via basic TV
    channels anyhow, so if someone wants to pay on top to see it via a MotoGP
    subscription it ought to be fine by those guys. Which it seems to be.

    My gripe with motogp.com is over their occasional quality issues, but given
    simple and basic otherwise could not see races live they are a godsent.

    Sorry, that quote I posted was from the sbk.tv website, not motogp.com
