full-throttle Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 So happy I didn't spend any money on 'special offers', as I'm only interested in the SGP, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 I bought the discovery + for £29.99 but tbh I'm not going to lose sleep over it now it's on Eurosport. Plenty of other stuff on there to get my monies worth. I can only get Eurosport live , can't tape it incase I'm busy on a GP night so money well spent. Maybe lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insurance... for when the French Open Tennis or world tiddly winks championships are on. Eurosport are being very ambiguous with their statements, leaving them room to move the coverage when they see fit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about Discovery (especially as they now own the Speedway GP Series) is that when there are other major sporting events on eg Olympics etc, they simply launch a number of extra Eurosport channels eg 3,4,5,6 Edited April 13, 2022 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they've actually said that have they? They say Eurosport 2 & Discovery+, which you can read any number of different ways. Like when Sky Sports said they would show all the GP's on Sky Sports and then tucked a number of them away on the red button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discovery + are covering the GP's advert free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do often move the British Superbikes to the Quest channel though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I signed up for BT Broadband 18 months ago (2 year contract) with BT Sport when they had the speedwayGP and MotoGP. Up for renewal late Jan 2023. Now they only have MotoGP ….. which I love, but I love SpeedwayGP too, so I tool out a Discovery+ offer of 12 month half price (£29.99) so I can see SpeedwayGP live. Just want this lot to sort out by next Jan so I can take out a broadband package and hopefully SpeedwayGP and MotoGP viewing all for less then I pay now. If I have to save money, and that looks likely, I would have to ditch the MotoGP package, and hopefully be able to watch it Tuesday evening in a condensed 1 hour program covering Motogp1, Moto2, and Moto3. Hopefully MotoGP will be integrated into Discovery+ so I get to see it all, hopefully for a realistic price. Lot still up in the air.

I had to ditch MotoGP this year and just watch the highlights on Tuesdays. Tbh it's not very good misses passes out and crashes. Feels like you've not really watched the race. It's a dilemma really but I'm fed up of paying for everything but on the other hand not a lot of choice, it's the way it's gone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have BT sport but binned it a while back , MotoGP was the only thing I really missed . I'm hopeful that MotoGP will move to Eurosport and join WSBK and British Superbikes along with Speedway. Making it the channel of choice for two wheeled action 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimmo Posted June 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 I wanted to watch the Belle Vue v Ipswich meeting on my Discovery+ App last night, but it kept freezing so it wasn't at all enjoyable. I only recently decided to switch to this service, and have paid an annual subscription, but am disappointed and won't renew, as I never had any problems with freezing and such like when I watched Eurosport through my BT package.

I have Discovery+ and get no problems when the match is on. I am with BT as broadband supplier and I pay for fast fibre (150 MB/s). How fast is your broadband speed? Have you changed your Broadband supplier? and maybe speed has changed if you decided to save costs Thing I don’t get on with Discovery+ Is finding the speedway program. Getting the hang of it then I loose it all and have to search again. So far that has not affected viewing, just miss a bit of chat.
