ONE HD MotoGP coverage

**Ozboy** · 10-10-2010, 02:08 PM

Am I the only one who is annoyed about the coverage of this years MotoGP?

In over 10 years I've not missed a GP, this year I've missed 3 rounds. Its not entirely the fault of ONE HD as the two US rounds are at times which obviously don't correspond with our viewing times. BUT, there needs to be more channels, like FOX sports 1,2 and 3, which give delayed coverage at a time more suitable to those of us with not much time on our hands.

As an example, the Malaysian GP has been broken down to 3 time slots with Moto2 being telecast at midnight ... who's up at midnight to watch this in Australia?

Would you guys like to see a change in schedule times OR add at least another channel to ONE HD so they can telecast all the live events they are contracted to? I'm keen to send this thread as a link to ONE HD for feedback purposes only, so please keep it clean.

I have seen only 3 rounds this year because of ONE HD, so a big fuck you to ONE HD. They have taken the coverage from Foxtel and destroyed it.
so once again for those not grasping this , FUCK you ONE HD

Watching it live on Trans 7 TV, an Indo channel.

Trans 7

**Fastgirl** · 10-10-2010, 02:21 PM

agreed. But I dare say, being Australia...it isnt footy, so there is no priorty for motorsports of an international kind usually.

**jules_1972** · 10-10-2010, 02:34 PM

Im sure Trans 7 is free.

Might be able to point your dish in the right direction/angle to pick it up???

Lyngsat

When Im back in Perth (very soon) I will be setting my dish/decoder to get Telcom 1.
Have to try it out!!

**drifter** · 10-10-2010, 02:34 PM

correct me if i'm wrong, but its not like they don't have the channels for running more or delayed coverage.
1, 11, 12
maybe they could run live on 1, delayed on 11 and the sd on stuff on 12?

Nice idea Jules, cheers.

Heres the link to ONE's home page, there are a lot of sports there that surely couldn't be televised on only one channel. The Commonwealth games for instance, it comes around, what, every 4 years?? Hardly something most of us have an interest in on a regular basis. Maybe channel 10 should've taken that on, instead of shoehorning it into our regular schedules on ONE HD.

rarely watch MotoGP coz can't stand Rust and Baird, then you get the geriatric sounding MotoGP comentators. Then OneHD have to have ads in the middle of it. Pathetic.

Give me Fox, WSBK and Jess!!

Now if the new Foxsport motorsport channel gets BSB and Irish road racing we can see what real road racing is all about rather than the wanker circus that MotoGP has turned into...../end rant

i haven't missed one since going to one hd, set recorder and watch in the evening or next day when i actually can. Never had fox, so missed out on supers, but iirc don't one hd replay all races throughout the week? (maybe not this time with commonwealth games?)

yeah they usuall replay on the monday or tuesday night after...

channel bit torrent is your friend. the eurosport commentary is a million times better than channel 10 also.

no commercial breaks at critical points, either.

they probably could very easily, but they don't.

Foxsport already have alot of the irish Road racing the AMA and BSB racing.

ONE HD are not interested in the quality of the coverage, just the fact they have it.

**Gangus** · 10-10-2010, 04:55 PM

I'm still spewing they (one HD) canned motogp classics which was the 500's.
Sure it all live but 2am......

**CitizenD** · 10-10-2010, 05:01 PM

Australia Post refuses to give me a quote to ship a 20kg crate of rape to OneHD.

Fuckers.

**Taz** · 10-10-2010, 06:38 PM

their coverage is shit and they had to cut it short for the comm games that is on 10 and 12 anyways

**Rat750** · 10-10-2010, 07:36 PM

And no replay until Thursday

**Ozboy** · 10-10-2010, 07:54 PM

I also noticed that within one of the ad breaks (Greg Rust commented on the pass), Dovi overtook Rossi for a couple of corners, BUT we never got to see it.

Etholred will be gutted by that, I'm sure.

What if Lorenzo had crashed during the ad break (which would have turned Phillip Is into the world championship race), would that have been televised? OR would we be just left guessing what happened to him??

+1

Loved watching the old 500's. Hope they bring back the replays.

Classic racing back from when it was actually interesting to watch.

Doohan, Gardiner, Rainey, Schwantz, Lawson were legends.
