I ballsed up. I'll be working in Saudi the week leading into the race, they work a Sunday - Thursday week. I booked a flight home thursday night. I should have booked a flight to Qatar thursday night and flown home Sunday night. Flights are non refundable and not flexible.... D'oh.
 
I am a bit irritated, I just found out that FS1 is no longer going to carry the MotoGP Races, BeIN Sports now has the partnership with Dorna.

Now i have to go upgrade my Direct TV Package to get the races since the sports Package I have that includes FS1 does not include BeIN.....
 
Would it be cheaper for you to just get Videopass rather than upgrade the TV service? I don't have TV so I'm not sure about costs.

Videopass does seem pretty sweet

I just checked, ONLY the most expensive package has BeIN Sports... What kind of crap is that. Almost $70 more per month... NOPE.com Gonna get Video Pass.
 
This is why I stopped watching F1, if they did a video pass like motoGP I'd still watch it, even if it is a procession around the track with little overtaking or excitement.

I looked at Worldsuperbike but they only have it available to watch well after the race has been run & won and I usually have found out the result by then. My father in law cancelled his subscription to them because of this.

Videopass is great value for money.
 
So, I signed up for the basic Video Pass, the one that is $111 per year.

If I just want to watch the races that will do the trick right? I am used to watching it on FS1 so this will be a new experience for me, I am not sure if the Multi-view thing is worth it or not. For those with video pass, do you use the multi-view feature?
