Tri-till-you-die Posted March 26, 2022 Share Hi guys Do I still need DSTV to watch cycling races if I have Wi-Fi ? I am trying to cut costs. Any feedback will be highly appreciated. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacBrand Posted March 26, 2022 Share For mountain biking, I watch on Redbull.tv. or the UCI's website. Better commentating and NO add breaks. For road cycling, I am yet to find an alternative 100Tours and Tri-till-you-die 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepeekaitjie Posted March 26, 2022 Share I use these for streaming all road races. I prefer cycling today as the quality is generally better. But if it isn't working tiz has usually has multiple streams of the same race. https://tiz-cycling-live.io/live.php https://cycling.today/live-streaming/ DSTV is garbage. Don't waste your money. Everything is free on the internet if you look and if it isn't there it doesn't exist. dave303e, Tri-till-you-die, 100Tours and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 26, 2022 Share GCN+ costs slightly less than one month’s DStv subscription. You’ll need a VPN for the big races, but so far this year I haven’t needed it. Better than trying to struggle with the TizCycling pirate stream. Wayne pudding Mol, AJB76, Ant in the NL and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav1 Posted March 26, 2022 Share This post comes at the perfect time. I've been wanting to cancel dstv but the only reason for keeping it is Supersport. Not keen on pirate sights so wondered what alternatives there are for cycling and rugby. Have netflix so movies and series sorted. Feels like I'm throwing money away with dstv just just for supersport Tri-till-you-die and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted March 26, 2022 Share 13 minutes ago, Tri-till-you-die said: How much does it equate to per month? Does it include MTB races too? It effectively costs me R112.50 per month, but I purchased an annual subscription (GCN+) and a 2 year subscription (VPN). R750 - annual subscription (R62.50) GCN+ I do see they have a monthly option which is more expensive. R1200 - VPN connection for 2 years (R50 per month) A VPN is required for certain races, eg. De Ronde, Paris Roubaix, The Tour. I have NordVPN. There are others, but this works for my specific requirements. When you say MTB, do you refer to XCO World Cup racing? It's currently free on the Red Bull app, then moving to another company next year which I think could be on the GCN/Eurosport group.

Eldron Posted March 27, 2022 Share Another vote for GCN. Bought a 1 year subscription. Cheap as chips. Tri-till-you-die, Frosty and AJB76 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominik Krob Posted March 8 Share Reviving this thread. With GCN gone, what do we do now? I have started looking into a Eurosport/ discovery plus subscription + use of VPN. The Discovery plus app is however not available to download on South African app stores. interested to hear if any of you guys has a working solution, other than pirate streams and dstv.
