GCN+

monkeysnapper · 18-03-2021 10:08pm

Just finished the Mark Beaumont Africa Solo cycle...

Really enjoyed it .... watched it while on turbo doing a recovery ride. .... this is what I really got GCN plus for ....

I also watched " hour of power" and really enjoyed that to .....

As a person that watches films on netflix its very hit and miss viewing .... but these documentary are really good ....

Anybody see any other good ones for my next viewing

magicbastarder · 18-03-2021 11:03pm

the one about columbus is good. and the chilean 'longest downhill' ones also.

MangleBadger · 21-03-2021 2:14pm

Just watched Conor Dunne’s Donegal 555 challenge. Good show. Makes me want to cycle the roads but maybe over a week.

And so expertly filmed and directed.

i assume that's an extended version of what appeared on the main youtube channel several months back?

That was really an ad for Shimano Tiagra.
This is longer and more about Conor Dunne V 555. It includes interviews with The winner of the event Ron McLaughlin, a 62 year finisher, Conor's partner and some others. It highlights Conor's struggles on the event
Obviously the videography is stunning:D and there are some great drone shots.

just hit play on it. as the son of a donegal man, i am going to wince uncontrollably every time they say 'don-eh-gahl', i suspect.

Actually, they did well on pronunciations I thought. As someone who has done this as part of a team, it was a great watch. Bloody tough roads. As they say in the video, once you get beyond the east side of Inishowen, there is barely a flat piece of road.

magicbastarder · 21-03-2021 11:16pm

yeah, i was pleasantly surprised in the end. though there was less of the support crew chat than in the original video IIRC, it was amusing reading the replies underneath that of non-irish people completely perplexed by their accents.

It would have been the same if the event was on the Beara Peninsula!

I watched it last night and really enjoyed it.

silverharp · 27-03-2021 12:25am

the YT algorithm just threw up that sep Donegal 555, awesome stuff, some fab coastal shots, the Malin head loop itself woudl be an epic ride

silverharp · 27-03-2021 10:43am

I watched another Conor Dunne one of a Waterford ride, the guy is seriously infectious with his enthusiasm , Bord failte should get him on a retainer. It would be great if he did a Wicklow ride and took in all the best spots

magicbastarder · 27-03-2021 11:29am

he's moved to the UK now AFAIK.

oh pity, it would only be a short cycle for him to hop across :pac:

Mr. Cats · 05-04-2021 12:20am

Just watched the Donegal 555 and really enjoyed it. Looks an unbelievably tough event though to cover that distance over those roads with the wind and rain.

Great pictures of Donegal, looked beautiful

Does anyone find their phone battery draining when using the app to watch a race or whatever? Going from 100% to 20% in 10 minutes.

Fine for me. Had Flanders on at weekend - about 3 hours headphones only whilst gardening and a couple of hours viewing on screen without issue. Doesn’t seem right to be draining that quickly. Could you try it with phone on low battery use mode to see if it makes a difference? Or maybe kill all other apps in case there’s something in background that is contributing?

Thanks, yeah ill have to do a bit of looking and see is something else the cause of it.

No. All good here. Still the odd little bug though and finding myself having to force stop the app if I exited out and wanted to rejoin a race later.

magicbastarder · 22-05-2021 11:46pm

am currently watching the 'makers episode 1' and it's the best yet possibly.

devonp · 07-06-2021 8:20pm

As far as I can see Eurosport still have an hours highlights scheduled for 10pm on ES 2 not sure about GCN+

Macy0161 · 08-06-2021 10:06am

Suisse wasn't there on firetv yesterday, but appeared to be on the Android app. I didn't try it as I couldn't be bothered finding the chromecast at that stage of the night!

Edit - shows as an option but not available when you click on it. RoI not listed, which is a bit mad.

Junior · 08-06-2021 1:54pm

Dan Lloyd tweeted yesterday that they don't have rights to Suisse in Ireland *shrugs shoulders*

07Lapierre · 08-06-2021 2:42pm

Tour de Suisse highlights on GCN+ worked for me. (Watched it this morning)

Not working on Android but I'll try Windows and see

RunDMC · 09-06-2021 9:41am

I've been able to get the short highlights for the TdS on the GCN+ app. It appears that that whoever was selling the rights isn't packing streaming with broadcast, strangely.

On neither Andriod nor Windows PC can I get anything other than 4-6 minutes of highlights each night, yet Eurosport are broadcastng one hours highlights every night. They are the same company..... why can't we get decent highlights on a premium app!

elchupanebrey · 13-06-2021 8:39pm

Constantly have close and reopen app on phone to try and watch highlights or previous broadcasts. Not great at all

Isn't it absolutely infuriating?
All the updates to the app that there have been and still this isn't fixed. I've contacted them a few times about this issue. I might as well be talking to the wall.

It is brutal at times.

Tempted at this stage to go back to Eurosport player. Never a problem. And it would continue on from where you left off if you closed the app for a while.

Ad free on GCN is a huge bonus

You get that on the eurosport player too though. Or you did last time I had it before I let the sub end.

I won't pay for two subs, but pretty disappointed with Tour de Suisse being on Eurosport player and not GCN+. If that begins to happen regularly I'll be going back to eurosport player, as I've only watched a handful of the non-racing stuff on GCN.

Oh. I wasn't aware of that. When I was subscribed to ES Player I wasn't getting ad free.

You had to look for it - if you just clicked on the live streams of the channels it had adds. It was an option further down the page with the other stuff that wasn't live on the main channels.

bit late replying to you know but no issues today or anytime in last few months

crosstownk · 09-10-2021 10:42pm

I've had no issues with it recently. Every now and then the Apple TV drops the feed but I think that's more to do with my home network as it happens the odd time with other feeds/streams.

ballyharpat · 10-10-2021 9:07pm

I have trouble with it, it won't cast from the laptop to the tv sometimes, when I cast then using 'cast desktop' it is lagging, and terrible quality. I can't scrub from the phone, if a race is on, you can only watch it at whatever point it's at, you can't rewind it, eg if you miss the start of a cx race, or if you want to pause for a few minutes, it won't start where you paused it, it will start wherever the race is-I'm seriously disappointed with it.

Macy0161 · 11-10-2021 9:17am

Working fine for me on FireTV, albeit I haven't been watching much live recently - watched the whole of Roubaix, over last weeks turbo sessions, without issue; Extended highlights of Lombardy and Paris-Tours this morning.
