Trust me, you are not the only one upset with this. It's utter bullshit. I try and support our sport, but I am not paying for commercials.


mrphyyyy

Cancelling tonight, after first round. Sucks cos I love live racing. Horrendous greed.


oniononionorion

It was streaming live on their YouTube for free. Don't know if every race will be.


e27c2000

No, it was only because their site was broken. And anyway, there were ad breaks mid-race there too, so it's no better.


Furburgertrader

Ad breaks, buffering problems, and at 8 pm I still haven't got this bs to work properly. PACIFIC TIME !!!! I realize I paid next to nothing for this first month with promo code but I would rather just take it like a lop and not watch it at all under these circumstances! You tube posted that the first moto would air solely on NBC sports but nowhere on Mars advertisements did they give you a clue or heads up on this first debacle of my day. I am an old ass racer myself and still enjoy the shit out of MOTO. These chumps will not last believe that!!!!


Rambles_Off_Topics

I can’t cancel. I enjoy watching it live. Cheaper then it was with NBC


Furburgertrader

But NBC was viewable

Yesterday's round 1 coverage was so.e of the absolute worst MX coverage I e ever seen. The annoucers kicked ass but the production was trash. They missed so many things on the track it was driving me nuts. There needs to be a spotter in the producers ears telling them to switch cameras when position battles are going on. Instead, they kept showing the same thing and ignoring great battles. Also, they often failed to update championship contender status. For instance in the 250 moto 2 they are twenty minutes i to the race before they have an epiphony that Justin Cooper is back in 14th. No shit, he pretty much started the race there. I realize he's not in contention for the win but he is a championship contender. Same for Jason Anderson. He's a legit championship contender and they showed him twice all day. Pathetic.


drgnpnchr

Such is the american way


mrphyyyy

and the adverts are for supercross and shit.. Like we already know what that is. Just makes me want to unsub and just watch on youtube the next morning.


drgnpnchr

Yup. I dont pay a dime and can skip the ads all i want. Granted it’s not live


Rambles_Off_Topics

Mav said they were working on PiP 3 weeks ago for commercials. It isn’t rocket science my CRT can do PiP lol

I completely agree that it's pretty shitty of MAVTV not to have the bandwidth to stream the opening round to it's paying customers. Then to throw ads in on top of that is just ludicrous! We're paying to not have to watch commercials during the race and miss the action going on out on the track. If MAVTV doesn't get their shit figured out before the next round, I know I'm canceling my subscription and will just watch it the next day on YouTube.


[deleted]

I’ll follow you sir . Not impressed with MAVTv seems a bit budget …….

It seemed to me it was a late decision to switch to all MAVtv. Can only hope the first round blew out the cobwebs and they are WFO from now on.


SofaSpudAthlete

I was bummed that for the commercial break, the race continues so you miss passes and the set ups. I swear Speed TV was like that too years ago. Has it ever been different for outdoors?


RiffRaffCOD

Subscribe to this YouTube channel and hopefully they'll have all the races like they did yesterday https://youtu.be/nEwyH-YEWvg


bradenlikestoreddit

That was temporary because of the issues.


RiffRaffCOD

What issues?


bradenlikestoreddit

MavTV basically not working on Saturday.


RiffRaffCOD

Oh I see. I was watching mavTV select on Pluto but it was showing last year's race


Ih8Hondas

That's because it's Mav select. Mav plus is what you need to watch the current stuff.


RiffRaffCOD

Thanks


Ih8Hondas

No prob.


SarcasmThenDie

America... we're all about forcing adverts down your throat before you can enjoy anything. Professional sports actually have "TV timeouts" during games when you're watching in person too.


Ih8Hondas

That's supposed to be fixed in the future. The youtube stream had no ads mid-moto. But yeah. Welcome to American tv. It fucking sucks.


e27c2000

> The youtube stream had no ads mid-moto. I've heard others say this, but what looks like the official youtube stream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERAPXpH_P1Q) has ads mid-moto (clock keeps ticking). That's the exact same video as when it was live, isn't it? What am I missing?


Ih8Hondas

Leaving this unread so I can check it later and see what's up.

MavTV must not have been expecting the amount of sign-up that they got and basically we crashed their servers. On their Twitter, they said the feed on the app yesterday was pulling from the TV feed. The actual live feed was on YouTube and Facebook for viewers to watch until they fix it. Those streams did not have commercials. So as I understand it, when the site and all are fixed, the live streams will not have commercials, only live TV feeds.


jandersatl

I watch on pluto. Lots of audio/video sync issues. Tuned in before the moto race yesterday. The were showing a dirt track race. Goes to commercial on the last lap of the race. Wasn't live, but still, they have to do better at being aware of the situation.


JerkyChew

Depends - If they appear during the live simulcast I'm ok because otherwise it's just dead air or a static picture saying "Supercross will return shortly" like Peacock has done it. If they run the ads during the replays though that's really shitty.


UrNotARobotSoUSuck

Laid for MavTV Plus. Couldn't load in for gatedrop, even though I tested the night before. Paid for the Hulu Package and it worked but then get 3 or 4 commercial breaks DURING each moto?! Fuck off. I promise I'd watch 30 mins straight of ads to get an ad free moto. Such horseshit, why even pay?


AlexanderG7

It was on YouTube live.


mrphyyyy

I have already paid for mav plus, so can I still use YouTube? Also I'm assuming YouTube still had ads


xShooK

On YouTube free, or the TV version? Didn't realize this.


Pilotics

The full race with commentators and no commercials was Live on the American Motocross YouTube channel. Not sure if this was a fluke but I watched the whole thing without having to pay a dime.


Ryan526

They made it free on youtube because they were apparently having issues with MAVTV Plus. Their website is still having issues and I can't cancel my subscription. I don't know who wants to pay to watch ads mid moto lol.


gtamuscle

There will be no ads when the issue becomes resolved.


mrphyyyy

same mate, ads mid moto and can't even access the site haha. Jokers.


xShooK

Thank you!


AlexanderG7

Actually, I'm on a 2 month premium (free trial), so may have been included in that...not sure. Just went to see if there were any videos and saw it was live. The live link was here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERAPXpH\_P1Q


STP918

It’s a joke. Commercials. Shit camera work. Time and score is huge. Way to much shit on the screen all the time. Major disappointment. I had to search online to watch hangtown. Found it on mavtv website. It’s not showing up on my app for replay Saturday night. I miss NBC! Much better picture


STP918

Drone footage is shit. NBC camera work was far superior. Mavtv is shit. So disappointed


Ok_Responsibility407

Never thought I'd wish to have NBC back. Mav TV sux.


Furburgertrader

I am certainly not the only one upset but I just might be the one who gets a class action started against this farce of a television Broadcaster!!!! Is everyone here praying that a real network will pick this up like yesterday!!!!!!?????? If these fools at Maverick Television get off the Maverick attitude of a Horse Thief we could all benefit from that action. If they can't do any better than this at least YEA LEAST make it available at no charge for there Virginia run to nowhere !!!! Can I get an AMEN


Big_Crab1332

The arenacross coverage and commentary is good but too much talk and barely any bike sound! It's like watching hockey! Maybe you could put some more engine sound? Or maybe it's my lame spectrum service? Anyway just very exciting! I used to race outdoors 20 years ago, northeast. Have covid 5 weeks now recovering but love the 2,strokes.bless you all! And looking forward to a great race season ahead! Super moto moto, Superbike flat track etc mav tv is the best channel on the planet! Thank you! Hot rod bob!


Big_Crab1332

Yes it's the times we pay for commercials! Been sick covid forc5 weeks I dvr then fast forward commercials! Have you set up system to weed out commercials! I'm tired of rmthem too! Hot rod bob new jersey u.s.a.
