thomasthedog Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hi guys! Hoping somebody can advise. I'm trying to prepare for speedway on TV in 2021, I'd like to be able to watch Premiership speedway along with the GP series and SON (assuming they go ahead). The problem I have is otherwise we don't really watch tv. I looked at getting the "players" but as I'd need Eurosport and BT Sports, that works out to about £20+ per month which is about what it'd cost for full Plusnet/Youview. Last season I watched some on Youtube but it was hideous watching it all with either Polish or Russian commentary! Is there any better way of getting just BT sports speedway and Eurosport or do I need to "bite the bullet" and get a full tv package?

Triple.H. Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 One of the BT packages includes Eurosport, so it might be worth checking the site out and asking in the online chat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently it's with Talk Talk but contract is coming up for renewal and I'd rather move away. Their sports packages are really expensive. I think I've found a deal for Eurosport player @ £5 a month and BT sports @ £10 a month through my EE mobile account. I know £15 a month isn't much less than Youview, but I could get it for "speedway months" only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 If you're current contract is coming to an end, the time now, is to do your research and then say to TalkTalk,, if you're happy with their service, as i'm a valued customer do me a deal, I'm pretty sure a lot of providers allow you to subscribe/unsubscribe to certain channels via the website 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Bt phone/broadband give you access to bt sport via an app, I watch it on my tablet, also saw an advert for by broadband at £24.99 which seams a good price 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 I'm with bt broadband but cancelled the sport because it went up from £6 to £10. I watched it thru the sky platform but I've also cancelled sky now. However, I'm still with bt for my broadband so can I watch it on my Amazon fire or a lap top thru an app? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehone Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) i watch the GP's and SoN on my pc using a VPN making it look like i'm in another country, that way i can watch the Speedway GP website live coverage with no cuts to the studio but getting all the interviews with riders instead. it's the feed used on the big screens at the track. the VPN i use is free Edited April 13, 2021 by stevehone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 I wouldn't be signing up for a full tv package, it's not certain if/when the 2021 season will start. Also no one knows who will have the tv rights for SGP & SON next year. I'm using my Amazon Fire Cube with Eurosport Player app at £20 for the year. I will then add the BT Sport app just for the relevant months at £15 a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically I think we're only looking at needing the sports channels May- September so really not worth signing up to a full package. How do you get Eurosport player for the year for £20? Is that an Amazon offer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoid Eurosport through Amazon, it's not the full & proper Eurosport Player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem we also have is that we tend to be out working until 6/7pm so likely to need to watch an hour or 2 delayed :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
