    So it doesnt look like WSB is going to be televised on speed. Anyone know other options?

    Also has AMA reached a TV agreement?


    Put a fork in motorcycle racing! I'm moving to Italy.


    This SUCKS!

    I was just starting to get into it last year to satiate my MotoGP fix.
    It seemed like the racing in WSBK was more competitive last year.

    I subscribe to this guy and stream races from my laptop that's hooked up to the tv in the living room

    http://www.youtube.com/the666sicco

    click the link to his site and have a gmail account

    He had them uploaded about ~1-2 days after the event.

    I hope he continues this for the 2013 season. I'm still re-watching all of the 2012 races from BSB, WSBK, WSS, and MotoGP :rawk:

    Looks like a deal is in the making for Al Jezzera to purchase Current TV (189 on UVerse) for the SBK Races...

    Ha! Glad I'm not the only one who does that...

    Hopefully he continues uploading them through the 2013 season.

    awful

    well that gets comcast out of my house for good. such a pain in the ass, wsbk could crush it if they sold online subs ala Motogp. I wont watch GP on TV, rather see it all online.

    just glad i get to have holes put in my roof for dish, my wife is going to want to kill me more than she already does.

    The wifey called Directv last night when I was whining about not being able to see the races. She got them to add the sports-package for 3 months free and $11 a month afterward with no new contract and can cancel at anytime.
    They had a WSBK 2013 preview show on last night and are listing 4.5 hrs of race coverage on Saturday night! :woot:

    See post #14 above..... :woot:

    ....And contrary to what is stated in the FAQ (frequent asked questions) section on www.beinsport.com, network spokesmen have twice confirmed that no special login will be required to watch this coming weekend’s races via live streaming video.

    Correct, it will only be available LIVE, no archiving of the video on their site either.
