Do any of you subscribe to the World Superbike Site? How does it compare to
motoGP for content and do they show live Superpole Qualifying?
Thanks,
Craig

Just trying it now and boy is the site slow. I can't even get to a trial
yet. OK, I got in and it looks OK.
But this is the part I didn't like on the signup page:
*North America and Spain DO NOT receive live video streams but DO receive
full race video on-demand. Australasia (?) DOES NOT receive either.

Sent too quick
Last year on MotoGP.com I could watch qualy and races live, from here in the
USA which is what made it useful for me. If SBK.tv is blocking it, AND does
not show qualy (I saw nothing on the site which said they do) I'm not
interested.

That does not make sense. (a) because MotoGP has always offered live video
streams (albeit of differing quality and reliability), and (b) because
without very intrusive and relatively expensive technology that a content
provider as rule ought to ignore it is impossible for them to tell the
geographical location.
In Spain (and most European countries I know) you get coverage via basic TV
channels anyhow, so if someone wants to pay on top to see it via a MotoGP
subscription it ought to be fine by those guys. Which it seems to be.
My gripe with motogp.com is over their occasional quality issues, but given
simple and basic otherwise could not see races live they are a godsent.

Sorry, that quote I posted was from the sbk.tv website, not motogp.com
