Well I'm on Fubo TV, it was easy to do the stacksocial purchase and get a login. I have 50/50 internet and I'm getting network errors and choppy pictures :( I have to leave now but will play with it later....

scroll down to the May 3 update. only comes out to about $14. not bad.

Thanks so much!!!

I've played with this for an hour now. Pros: Crystal clear picture, no dropouts. Cons: The cycling channel doesn't have DVR service, you can only watch live. They had a highlights show of the Tour of Romandie on and I watched it all and was very happy with the quality.

Now I'm cloud recording a movie while I have another show playing. I haven't figured out how to schedule an advance dvr event but since one can't use it on the cycling channel it doesn't really matter.

For $14 to have a legal, high quality stream for the Giro, makes me one happy person!!! :)
 
nice, im glad you got it working. that's a shame about no DVR service as i'll have to miss the weekday stages while im at work (except for the final week, i took off for that :) ). i think im still going to buy it as backup in case my eurosport player/vpn setup stops working for whatever reason.

I love that you take off from work for bike races :). I used to do that for decisive stages even with a dvr to record them LOL! Now I'm retired so I only have to ensure I make no commitments so I'm available for live streams.

Thanks again for the great info to get this deal :).

At which point did you add the cycling package? Do I need to pay for the initial offer, get the login, and then add the cycling package?
 
sign up for the $5 offer on stacksocial and then it'll link you on the receipt to fubo.tv. it's basically a coupon code to get a month free. then there's a step while signing up for fubo to add packages, just pick the $8.99 cycling package.

FUBO ROCKS!!!! If you're still interested try this link, you can get $30 off.

Today Fubo showed 5hrs and 10mins of High Quality, Commercial Free coverage of the race. You can also have 3 cloud dvred shows recorded, good for 72 hours each. Highly recommended! I will drop it as soon as the Giro is over :) Total cost $14 is see the Giro in High Def on my TV and record stages I'm not home for.
 
I cheated and hooked up to a Dutch live streaming feed earlier today - it was nice, but the boys still had something like 75km to go when I had to leave for work. So I missed the best part of the stage - apparently it was the finish!

I kinda like reading the live race thread here on this forum, if I can't actually watch the race it lets me use my imagination as to what is (or was) happening at the time.

(You guys are making me feel bad about watching a "questionable" live feed.)

THANK YOU to everyone on this thread. I feel like every year the methodto watching Giro changes. I was all set to go to Sling or Bein this year and discovered a big 0. I've followed the advice here and am all set with the DVR feature now so I can record it during the day and watch when I get home from work. Couldn't have done it without the help here and can't imagine a May without the Giro!!! TYVM!
 
Uh-oh, I've done it again. And off into the sin bin I go!

(Dutch is a most peculiar language, I must say. They kept talking about Greipel and Zakarin, and that's about all I could make out of the conversation the Dutch commentators were having.)

Indeed, Thanks to all who helped us get a quality way to see the Giro at a reasonable cost :)
 
anyone having a problem with the DVR? i recorded todays stage but it's not in the "Recorded" section, it's still on the scheduled recordings list

edit: apparently it takes 30 minutes after a program ends to show up in the DVR and the stage was scheduled until 1:30pm

Re:

The DVR is working well for me. I also love the commentary, it's been hilarious, actually, during the more boring sections.

And I really appreciate no ads. I get tired of the same ads 1000x on Sling/bein Sports. I can recite them verbatim usually by the end, even the ones in Spanish.

Great coverage, for $14, can't beat this.
 
Do any of these viewing options/channels, like for instance Fubo, have Closed Captioning? I'm a bit hard of hearing, and I usually have CC on to supplement what I hear. I'd hate to buy any of these services and it not have CC. NBCSN doesn't show too many races here in the USA, but what they do show the commentators are followed by CC.

I just went and checked Fubo for you, there is indeed CC on the 4 live streams I looked at. I can't check the cycling channel as there is no live stream running there now. The dvr playback of today's Giro stage did Not have CC available.

Tomorrow I will check when the Giro live stream is running and let you know.
 
Thanks Carols for checking that out for me. I've been watching after the fact/race the "Last 1/2/3/4/5 kilometer" videos, from Eurosport, off of a Steephill link, and noticed they didn't have CC. So, thought I'd ask about what yall are watching before I do anything to get longer, and kosher, streams.
