We are left with the option to maybe drop our SkySport subscription and purchase a video pass from www.motogp.com but then we won't be able to watch World Superbikes on SkySports. Most of us cannot afford both. From Sky's website. Regretfully, we have not secured the rights to MotoGP. If this changes we will let you know immediately. :)	Trev (427)

Hope they get it towards the end of the season at least - it heats up around Phillip Island / Laguna Sega.	lordnoddy (3645)
1337976	2013-04-24 08:53:00	Well it's a channel I might actually watch, still nowhere near enough to lure me to sky though. I'm not a sports fan and the internet provides me with all the news I need, sky offers nothing for people like me. "Here buy our basic package so you can have a mutlitude of channels you don't want and let us charge you extra for anything you might actually enjoy".... Seriously I can see the end of broadcast TV on the horizon. If sky had a basic package that actually let you choose xx number of channels from their range instead of locking you in to all the crud it might pick up a lot of the remaining hold-outs like myself. Otherwise I await a decent streaming service to hit NZ eventually.	dugimodo (138)

I would only go sky if I could choose all of the channels I want and not be stuck with those I don't	gary67 (56)
1337978	2013-04-24 11:46:00	Yes a pick and choose system would be great. I don't have sky. The only sport I watch would be cricket. That Igloo service could be worth looking at.	Digby (677)
