hopefully there will be a eurosport france stream, i dont have eurosport on tv. but i have to say it is shocking that eurosport isn't even showing any of the end, it looks like they will be showing live cycling... exciting!

As on Eurosport, Le Mans Series will be broadcast on the Player. This event will not be more coverage on the Player.

Kind Regards,

I.e the coverage on the player is the same as the TV. Don't waste your money.

That's VERY strange. Today, again I was told the full race will be shown on the Player. Don't subscribe yet, just in case. Sigh... sometimes the miscomunication and incompetence in Paris is astonishing. But regarding the 4 pounds per race things, that's the price for a mounth's subscription, not just for the race.

But if there's only one race that month and you don't care about anything else that's shown there...

Has anyone else noticed the live radio link on the LMS website?

Yes, it will be active at spa.

I interpreted the 'full coverage of LMS' as actually FULL COVERAGE OF LMS at eurosport, I hope I did not waste my money...

Yes, thankyou.
Hopefully our friends at P2P, Justin etc, etc will come good on whatever is available. I just hope that the ACO are keeping an eye on all the comments here and elsewhere about their crap coverage of the series. I would have thought that (in these tough times) the more publicity and coverage, the better for the series, sponsors and the fans.
But in their eyes, perhaps not!

Dani Filth · 4 Apr 2009, 08:12 (Ref:2432987)

this is from the eurosport player site

"Motorsport: Le Mans Series from Catalunya (5/4)
Follow full LIVE coverage of the 1000km of Catalunya from 10am to 5.15pm BST."

TheKimme · 4 Apr 2009, 18:23 (Ref:2433482)

is it possible to stream from the Eurosport player to Justin.tv?

Rodger Davies · 4 Apr 2009, 21:02 (Ref:2433587)

OK, I signed up - I just won't eat lunch a couple of times next week and I'll break even.

Now, here's where the confusion begins. In true Eurosport style, it says WRC is on NOW but is actually showing MotoGP testing. However, at the bottom of their 'bonus content' listings is one for 'Motorcycling: Le Mans Series'.

There's no other mention of Le Mans Series on the page and no mention on their schedule for tomorrow (apart from the obvious ones shown on TV anyway), so I'm optomistically pinning my hopes on the 'Motorcycling' link and assuming it's just traditional Eurosport innaccuracy.

(Incidentally, if you click on the M:LMS link, it's showing a preview for the US Open Tennis, saying it starts on Monday. Which, as far as I'm aware, is usually in the Autumn)

Will clarify tomorrow.

Dead-Eye · 4 Apr 2009, 21:28 (Ref:2433604)

On that basis I think I'll refrain from spending money on that for now.

Graham Goodwin · 5 Apr 2009, 07:03 (Ref:2433718)

Still unimpressed about the Eurosport coverage - so unimpressed that dsc will be offering our live race coverage free to view from Barcelona

Lipp · 5 Apr 2009, 08:48 (Ref:2433751)

thanks for that Graham.

Wow, thanks

Any international coverage is welcome for us Aussies

TheKimme · 5 Apr 2009, 09:01 (Ref:2433756)

dsc? what? link?

Rodger Davies · 5 Apr 2009, 09:07 (Ref:2433757)

It is on the Motorcycling link on the Eurosport player. Without commentary, but knowing Eurosport (Martin Haven aside) that might be a good thing.

No choice of quality though.

Gil Abobeleira · 5 Apr 2009, 09:11 (Ref:2433758)

Is the quality of the stream (eurosport player) any good?

I mean, is it 640*480 or there abouts, or is it less?

TheKimme · 5 Apr 2009, 09:21 (Ref:2433766)

what is dsc?

GTfour · 5 Apr 2009, 09:25 (Ref:2433768)

I'm really stupefied by the fact that we have to chase around for any live images of this great event.
I mean,it's the season's opener of the biggest sportscar series in Europe,for christs sake!

I curse MotorTV AND Eurosport

TheKimme · 5 Apr 2009, 09:29 (Ref:2433769)

Tvants wont work. dammit! no live streams!

Lipp · 5 Apr 2009, 09:29 (Ref:2433770)

the player works fine, resolution is oke I guess, I do miss Radio LeMans' commentary though...
But that will be up as of next race...
Oke we are nearly off!

Johnny1lap · 5 Apr 2009, 09:31 (Ref:2433771)
