So with the cross country season starting this weekend, does anyone know if and when it will be on Supersport. I looked last night and cant seem to find anything, I wonder if SS lost the rights or something similar.

 

I see on FB that Alan Hatherly is on the front row for the U23 :clap:

I know this is a little bias with my post but I am really excited to see Alan race, he has put in a lot of work and is really keen to get this ball rolling for the WC's.

Yip, DSTV fail again but they show NASCAR, does anyone in SA actually watch these cars literally going around in circles? It's nearly as boring as F1.

Cancelled my Dstv 2 months back..... will never look back. They are increasingly showing more and more garbage..... 

 

Series - netflix, R160 per month

Subscription to Eurosport cycling less than R500 for the entire season.

XCO and DH, free on Red Bull tv in HD.

My problem is that I love the football too much and would never be able to give that up. And my wife with her "Say Yes to the Dress" would kill me.

 

How much data does streaming a XCO race on Red Bull TV use? I have very slow data out where I live.

And the internet contract ?

R699 20MB uncapped Fibre with Axxess....  most people have an internet line as well as Dstv - so I don't see the full internet cost as relevant as I would have incurred this anyway.

 

In my case I had a 20GB, LTE contract with helkom for R400pm. So I'm paying an extra R300pm.

 

So all in all R600 per month; (vs Dstv Premium of R900pm)

-R300 line upgrade,

-R160 Netflix and R60 per month for Eurosport cycling (you need software that can change the location of your IP address for this - R1000 per year - so R83 per month).

- R83 VPN

 

AND I watch what I want when I want it and no longer suffer the ignominy of throwing my toys when the brains trust at Multichoice decide to air NASCAR instead of MTB World Cup :thumbup:
