I know I know, it’s another thread about this freakin app and it’s been talked about a lot in the last couple weeks. But I thought I’d give credit where it’s due since I’m sure weege or someone from the crew will read this.
IT IS SO AWESOME! Listen, I get people don’t wanna pay extra for this package because they already pay for a tv package that ain’t cheap. But I’ll share my experience today after the hangtown races.
I was hesitant to buy it because you can always watch them on YouTube or record it on the DVR or whatever. But after the Supercross season I was f*ckin tired of missing races because of UFC, baseball or whatever. And IMHO you spend more time watching commercials than watching racing in SX.
Anyways, I bit the bullet and bought NBC Sports Gold and after today’s races I was stoked. From the very start of practice to end of the Motos it was good, high quality coverage with an awesome commentary crew, including the new chick, Will. Maybe one small hiccup but i think it was my internet being weird.
Unfortunately no 125 races but it sounds like that’s in the works for the future. I’m sure we will see highlights on next weeks show hopefully.
If you are on the fence about buying NBC sports Gold, do it. It’s good quality streaming and i enjoyed every minute of it this afternoon. And I’m not being paid to say this or post it, I’m genuinely a happy customer.

Went to watch the replays, got about 10 minutes of the first 250 Moto, and it stopped. No matter what I do, I can't get the replays up now. This sort of thing happened a few times last year.
It's a bit of a head scratcher. I'll see if I can catch up toomorrow - loved seeing the off camber corner especially, and, it looks like they've taken a leaf from the GPs with artificial whoops more like 'waves', and not SX crap. Plus, they'd not tilled the surface into rut city - good stuff .
It's a bit weird, as I've been able to watch the MXGP coverage, both live and in replay last night and then today, with the 2nd 125 moto live a short while ago, with absolutely no problems. So, my 'puter and provider are functioning normally. Maybe it's my VPN source being 'noodly'? Oh well, at least I can watch the World Championships live, from 'cute lil Teut'.
The Shop
Had toclose the app and restart a couple times. Then worked.
But I'm watching the GP now, and that's what I'm most interested in.
I'll check tomorrow to see if the NBC setup is back working for me. It's just strange that one works with no problems, and the other doesn't, on the same 'puter.
I wanted to buy the NBC gold but wasn't sure if it would work and hold out buying it until i saw someone from Australia on vital comment on it.
Let me know how you go tomorrow and if it works good, i'm sold.
If I had any complaint, it's that the live coverage doesn't jump to the next moto automatically... but that's no big deal at all.
I am kind of pissed that this year I can only watch the 2nd final A 250 & A 450 practices.
I sponsor a lot of the B practice Privateers and A practice riders I want to watch them ALL not just the Top A practice riders. I want to see how ALL of the 40 gates get filled!
It is nice to watch on your TV with Roku or hook your iphone up to a TV to watch like I do to watch Supercross Live for FREE.
I will complain about .....
1 The video freezing up and having to restart to get it going again.
2 Having to chase to different sections to watch the next race. Cant it be just 1 place to watch the complete race????
3 When you go in early if freezes up until you go in and restart the program and you miss the 1st lap of the race.
4 Picture quality gets so bad you can not read the info scrolling across the screen and you cant see the racers clearly for long periods.
5 We are watching the LIVE races and they stop and the Logo goes up while we can still hear the race. Show us the whole race!
I have a 120MB line here through comcast , which works perfect for my Amazon Fire TV , PSvue , Netflix ect.....And it worked perfect for the gold app yesterday as well. Complete 1080p , no buffering and was perfect for all 4 motos.
Wish I would of gotten this last year , instead of watching the first motos on MAV tv in SD.....uuhhgg! Ugly!
plus two rounds of qualifying
plus 2015 - 2017 seasons
