It can only get better.

No,it has to be better,if not it will be a huge disappointment after the hype. Also the heli cam struggles to pick out the bikes.

All that said the potential is huge and no matter what happens,I will still watch.

Might have been interested in the live pass but the website selling it is totally opaque about costs which always puts me off anything.

Lucky you.

Very sketchy picture for me, and the sound is rubbish.

You pay your money and can watch all coverage,practice and races,plus anything in the archive,as I understand it.

picture now ok, but sound still problematic.

My solution is currently watching the TT live pass pictures while they work with Radio Manx TT playing over it. Great authoritive commentary from Manx Radio as always.

Just bought the package as qualifying finished. How do I see todays action? Nothing comes up on the search and when I go to the live pass only the remaining sessions are listed.

Same for me, just got in, bought the TT plus thing looking forward to spending my evening watching todays action and can't actually see any way of watching it despite it saying watch for up to 12 months, any time, anywhere, rewind etc. very disappointing

Yep, I'm the same, was hoping to catch up with todays action, can't see anyway to see recorded material from the day, looks like a waste of 14, very disappointed

Tbh you're not missing much IMHO. The whole session was very disjointed and difficult to follow what was happening on track even when the broadcast was working. They kept flipping backwards and forwards between film of IOM landscapes (mountains, sea, beaches etc like a tourism film) and inane chat from the paddock whilst loads of bikes were in action on track in great weather. Then occasionally a leaderboard would pop up on the screen but only with the top 3 or 5 riders and no explanation about how the riders were doing or giving any context.

Also the sound was strangely at different levels at different times. Nice that there was something live but the production values were very poor giving the whole thing a complete lack of cohesion.

It's as though they decided to broadcast something live from a load of different locations, so they hired a bunch of TV study graduates and told them to come up with something.

Maybe it's a budget thing, but this sort of coverage isn't exactly new, so I'm surprised at how poor today's coverage was.

Still, I'm very glad that it is available, and I think Davo has a commenting career waiting for him when he decides he's had enough of the racing!

Instead of the chopping and changing I would prefer to follow the progress of a rider throughout a couple of sections,not just the top 5 riders. Maybe a Hickman vs a lesser known rider and be told the time difference through the particular section so I get a sense of talent difference.
Practice week is different to race week and I hope the production staff are reading on line tips and criticism of there work so far.

I think I'd sum it up by saying I didn't expect much for £15 and so far it hasn't reached my low expectations.

I've got the week off as it's half term. Had been toying with buying the live pass as I'll probably have time to watch it whilst on holiday in Devon. Don't think I'll bother now!
