WIPEOUT 1000 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Just got the e-mail message that that GCN+ will soon be closing. Not sure how I feel about it, I only really used it to watch events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lechatnoir Posted November 15, 2023 Share this is crummy for all concerned. no doubt, there will be the usual attrition that follows such bean-counterish decisions. I can't get my head around what I'll do instead, but I'm pretty sure someone here will find a way. If that's you, please share if it's something accessible to us all. That said, if the solution is Eurosport, that's not terrible... IIRC, that will bring the Olympics (I hope) into my home as well as Le Mans 24hr. All I need to figure out is how to pay for it.

mecheng89 Posted November 15, 2023 Share If I'm brutally honest, I'm not going to miss it. I was literally think about not renewing for 2024 the other day. It seems they've made the decision for me. The streaming was incredibly laggy, to such an extent that I flat out refused to used it any longer and just use other another paid subscription service instead (I was one of the first sign ups for GCN+, when they had a miniscule sign up fee). The ball-ache always having to watch through a VPN for top races also got old fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d happily pay R799/year with crappy commentary if it meant I had access to every race. 1 hour ago, pedal menace said: What the hell...??!!! Just subscribed for another year!!!

Frosty Posted November 15, 2023 Share The message about WBD “consolidating its streaming services and to offer content in fewer places” possibly means someone like DStv has the rights in SA, so we won’t get it here. For Eurosport, one needs a EU credit card to be able to pay for their subscription. Hopefully the App Store can allow in-app purchases, which might resolve it.

JCey Posted November 15, 2023 Share Loved it, hope we can figure something else out. Anything that's ad free is worth paying for. Or are we all going to klap together for a mass DSTV premium account? Rocky999RSL and Frosty 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinmug Posted November 15, 2023 Share 🤬 So much for that 2-year subscription. Where to now with UCI MTB? I suppose I have to move to the First World ... ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samson99 Posted November 15, 2023 Share I am in Ireland and will also need to move to Eurosport, but apparently will need to use a VPN as well. So frustrating as I am in the 1st world 🤣 ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
