Who uses Cycling.tv and what are the opinions on it? Read some older reviews where people said they made it difficult to cancel their subscriptions.
I'd love some feedback before the weekend. Thanks.

It's simply terrible and not worth it. They refuse to update their technology, which is the nail int he coffin.
There are so many ways to watch races on feeds from Europe or the UCI YouTube Channel that paying money for terrible quality and worse customer service isn't a viable option.
They had a chance to really capture the market and offer a great product, but they were complacent and missed the opportunity. I'm actually surprised they are still in business.

I just hate scrambling to find a feed from Steephill to watch races live in the US. It's pretty crazy they can't get their shit together and take my money for a decent option to watch all the major races.
You guys gotta start getting torrents. Google cycling torrents. There is one site to rule them all. You can build a good share ratio there and pretty much get all Eurosport and Sporza coverage for free. There may be a moratorium on new memberships but you can get probably invite if you ask. Also Wheels group caps a lot of the big events in HD. I can't stand watching ad-laden TV, SD or web streams.

Thanks. I have to be honest and say I have no idea what a torrent is but I'll google it.

I know of this place. But I know not where to obtain an invite.
It's pretty much impossible to watch cycling in the U.S. NBCSports requires a fee and every five minutes there's a commercial. So, yes, the only recourse I have is to download. If there was a commercial-free option that had quality streams I would pay for it.

Isn't Eurosport Player service available in US? At least their slogan is "Watch Eurosport Live Anytime, Anywhere"
I use Witopia to create a VPN to Europe and watch through Eurosport Player. Have to sign (and pay for) both, but the quality is decent and you can watch almost all major races live.
If you sign Witopia, you can also VPN to Brazil, and watch CX Worlds and World Cup in UCI YouTube channel for free.
