You won't need to purchases the NBC Sports Gold package to get the Tour, correct? |

No, but it's 65% commercials

The NBC Sports Gold app is an annual subscription service that runs from June to June of each year. For $50, you get all the races they cover commercial-free. You can watch them live or replay them at your convenience. I usually watch the races on my iPad, but can also show them on my family room TV. Right now, they're running a $20 special for the remainder of the spring season (e.g., Paris-Nice, Volta a Catalunya, Paris-Roubaix, Fleche Wallonne, LBL, Tour of California, Dauphine). I've used the NBC Sports Gold app (and its predecessors) for years. Best bike race viewing $$ I've ever spent! Greg |

NBC Sports Gold is definitely worth it.
Question on FLobikes...are there full event replays? |

^^^^found the replays.
Flobikes sounds like a good option for the Giro as you can pay monthly and cancel anytime. |

I just spent 40 quids and re-upped my Eurosport subscription for like the sixth year. All the bike racing you could ever want, every single one of them. Minimal commercial breaks, too.
Just need a VPN. If you want to be a cheapskate, the VPN per se is sufficient to allow you to access Sporza |

I have subscribed to Eurosport for 3-4 years. Last year my CC was compromised and a new card issued. In Jan when my ES subscription was due for renewal I tried to do so with the new card and it would not work. The ES site kept telling me that I needed to "please use a payment method registered in this country"...in other words, a CC from a UK bank. I guess they're trying to stop people from doing what many of us here have been for a while.

it may or may not be possible to get around that payment block by using a paypal account set to a different country.

One advantage I've found to DVR-ing the NBC Sport Channel is the ability to fast forward through the less active parts of the race. Let's face it, a race that's 5 or 6 hours doesn't have 5 or 6 hours of interesting viewing. There are large portions of the race where there's not much going on. While many streaming replay services allow you to skip ahead, there's a chance you can miss some important action. But with a DVR, instead of skipping, you can watch at an accelerated rate, so you can see all the action, just faster. Some DVRs even have a fast-play mode, which allows both video and audio to play at a 30% faster rate.

I like to watch live, though, when possible. Hard to avoid spoilers on social media.

Oh, and Eurosport player may or may not be cheaper if you set your VPN to a country other than the UK and use that countries Eurosport site. (renewed last November for 44.50 polish zloty, about $12)

unfortunately, you aren't the first person to confirm this really disappointing i lucked through, with the auto renewal (despite an address change); doubt i'd have the same success down the road. maybe they have yet to catch on in some of the other countries (Ireland, etc.) Quote:
and were you able to circumvent the issue @choke described? |
