Has anyone discovered a way of watching MotoGP for free ??

Not interested in anything else on BT Sport, so switching ISP and paying the extra costs seems a bit OTT to me, just to watch a few hours racing.

Found something called *Cricfree.tv*, which lists quite a few sport channels, but immediately wants you to download files etc, so have not gone any further.

Any advice would be appreciated, PM if you like.

Thanks,

Michael.

Very interested in this as I've not found anything...

Only alternative is ITV4 on the Monday at 8 there is a highlights programme.

To stream sports on a laptop I use software called

Sopcast
Ace stream

Once you have the software installed, you can watch streams from various sites. I use it to watch football. There are loads of sites online but I generally use Wiziwig. This site also has links to watch the moto GP and most other sports.

The software can be installed on Android devices too so you can view it on your phone, tablet, car head unit etc. ..

Thanks for the fast response !

I have registered with Ace Stream, buy when I click on activation code in e-mail, it takes me to what is presumably a log-in page, but it is all in what I think is Russian, so don't know what info they want or where it goes in the four boxes ?

Help Please.

You don't need to register, supply your email or log in to anything. Sopcast gives you the option to log in but you should select log in as anonymous.

Install the software and forget about it. The software starts automatically once you click the link on the Wiziwig website.

1) Download and install Sopcast and Acestream using the links above
2) Go to the Wiziwig website and click "live" on the right hand side of the page next to the sports event you would like to watch.
3) Choose one of the links on the page (links appear an hour before. The more kbps, the better the stream quality) and click on the link. It will state if the link is Sopcast, acestream, flash etc. ..
4) The softwarewill then open automatically and the stream will begin after a short while. If you click on a flash stream, another page will open in your browser to view the stream.

Followed your instructions, and tried to watch some golf around lunchtime, just to prove I had it set up correctly, before watching the bikes. All went to plan, BUT what I had was live audio, and a still image, progress bar never reached the end, said *-12.1 secs* or similar. Tried this with some football matches, with the same result.

Maybe my broadband isn't up to it, only got 5.5mbs download.

Looks like it's ITV4 on Mon night !

Thanks

Michael.

5.5meg is fine. I'm not sure its a still image. Did you try a few different links?

Tried both available Ace Stream links (900 & 901) on Wiziwig, for both golf & football, but just got a blurred still image (like a freeze frame). Audio was live, times matched with real time.

I watched the Spurs game today using a Wiziwig link and everything was fine.

5.5mbps isnt the same as 5.5mBps

5.5mb/s is pretty horrendous, you need to increase that by about a factor of 10 (or 8 :P) to have acceptable streaming imo

the stationary blurred image would be perpetual buffering because the download speed isnt fast enough
