Grachan Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 17 hours ago, Mimmo said: I've been into a company named Hughes Electrical today with my nephew, and it seems that Samsung TV's have a Discovery+service App plus Eurosport, then as you probably know, you click that, register and pay the £59.99. If you are just watching speedway it's cheaper to do the monthly subscription for 6.99 a month. If you subscribe each time on the day of the Grand Prix and then cancel you can get 6 monthly subscriptions for 41.94. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Snackette Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) On 10/8/2021 at 8:39 AM, Mimmo said: Does anybody know, if the thousands of older people in the UK, that don't have access to phone etc, or understand modern technology, can purchase a package in the same way we currently do with BT Sport.so as to be able watch the Grand Prix on their TV sets from 2022 onwards please. It's a serious question, and one that will affect me if you can't, as families want to sit and watch it together in their living room, not individually on mobile devices. Thank you, if anybody can provide the answer. As someone who is 68 (fast approaching 69) I guess I can be classified as “an older person”, although not living in the UK……but I’m not really sure what difference that makes? I have downloaded the Discovery+ app, and got an annual subscription for a very competitive 29€. Downloaded the app direct from Google Play Store to my Nvidia Shield, and by using StreamLocater I can acces the UK version from here in Spain! It wasn’t that much of a challenge even someone like myself, who apparently has to be patronised because it is assumed that anyone who isn’t in the first flush of youth is unable to cope with modern technology! We are now in 2021, and just as we challenge racist & sexist comments, so we MUST do the same with “ageism”! I’m sure there are thousands of older people who don’t have access to or understand modern technology. However I am equally aware of those much younger who are similarly technologically challenged! So how about rewriting the comment to: “Does anybody know, if the thousands of people in the UK, that don't have access to phone etc, or understand modern technology, can purchase……” it doesn’t need to be made an age thing!

I understand what you are saying, and agree with you, so you have made the point without me rewriting it. My reason for not understanding is due to a brain disease, and yes I accept many younger people also suffer the same sort of health issue, so it's not an age thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 There has just been an advert for the 2022 GPS on eurosport during the WSB,, and it said they will be showing live GPS in 2022 on Discovery + Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesR Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 That's also what was said in the interview at the last GP, with highlights and some live on Eurosport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk127 Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 I think I read that some Eurosport channels in Europe will carry the GPS live but this was not the case in the U.K. hence Discovery+. I believe it may have been in a article in Speedway Star a couple of weeks back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it may have been in a article in Speedway Star a couple of weeks back. Those Speedway countries that it is felt can develop their audience the fastest are being chosen to have the "free to air" feed.. I seem to remember Germany mentioned. (?)... ie. Countries that run domestic Speedway so have a "following" and already show the GP's behind a "pay wall".... Theory being it could maybe get others engaged in these countries by opening them up to the sport... Cardiff wasnt ruled out as having the same, but, as per other countries, there was still a lot of negotiation and strategy planning going on.. Bottom line is if you can get enough to pay for it, then why give it away free.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
