Cycling TV: On Demand

[Too Tall]

Cycling.TV looks to be a really good pick for me, thoughts? I've got no DVR capabilities and will not build a software solution so there is that. We watch TDF in the evenings when everyone is home so on demand is the deal.

I've heard you can get really fine quality YouTube full coverage the day after however for same day on demand what is the best?

We'll simply use a Macbook Air + HDMI to our TV and done.

DavidS you listening?

I've had it for a while and I think it's worth it. They don't have TDF though except for a recap show. I'd happily pay more for that.

Yeah cycling.tv only has rights to certain races.

NBC Sports is the ticket. However you have to be a paying cable customer to get rights to stream NBC Sports. They will have TdF coverage but ya gotta have a cable subscription. Or...know someone who is willing to give you their log in info and you are set.

The only reliable sources for delayed highlights I have found are the usual suspects. Steephill.tv and cycling fans.com. If there are others can y'all please list them? I like the highlights but would really prefer to be able to see the entire stage.

I used to get a cable subscription just for the TdF but I can't bring myself to do it anymore.

I'm watching 2013 Alpes d'huez full stage streaming from my laptop to Roku and it looks real good.

Am I correct understanding that there are full stages uploaded to YouTube same day from various sources?

[liv2bike]

There was for the Giro. Full on demand through steephill. Just depends who has the rights and how geo restrictive they are. I haven't found full Dauphine stages yet.

Watched full Giro stages through eurosport player (via Hola proxy server). Worked very well, but they don't seem to be having the Dauphine on demand. I hope they do thhe TDF, but if not, I'll buy the NBC sports app thingy (assuming they have it like last year).
