motortrend and roadkill

ebv8 · 23-03-2018, 11:56 AM

what are all the youtube watchers of roadkill going to do now?
boycott motortrend alltogether?
or signup for motortrend?

i tried to login to motortrend.com and there is no content available to watch for free (was supposed to be unlocked free content) you must pay for everything
the price is 50% for currently but not for aussies it seems
so its $6.50pm or $65pa

i'm not sure what do to now?
i'm over MCM they just don't seem to be what they were, skid factory is good though
B is for Build is as dodgy as ever but i still must watch it

what other shows can i watch on youtube to satisfy my needs

Its really not expensive mate, and that payment is whats funding and paying mike and Dave, along with Dave and Fred, and Steve, and west tech, and everyone else providing their expertise, services and facilities to make the unscripted, great shows that we all love. So just pay it. And get an Xbox one to watch it on. And set your settings to "USA" on the Xbox, and you'll be sweet.

Jack91 · 23-03-2018, 02:08 PM

You also get a crapload of other shows thrown in when you subscibe

ebv8 · 23-03-2018, 02:34 PM

i have an xbox one but why can't i just watch via the app? is au content limited?
i'd rather chrome cast it then i can watch on all my tv's

they stated all content over 8 weeks old is free to view but its not the case, i'm a member and there is nothing i can actually watch it just asks me to pay

Jack91 · 23-03-2018, 02:38 PM

When I first got it 2 years ago you couldn't get the app on the Xbox in Australia. But changing that setting you can get heaps of streaming apps

ebv8 · 23-03-2018, 02:46 PM

well i just paid for it and now it still won't let me in without paying!!

stupid half baked website

`all the free youtube shows are still free with adds on the "motor trend on demand" streaming service. they just are not on youtube moving forward. I've been paying for on-demand since it launched and they have progressively added value to it its entire life.

nstg8a · 23-03-2018, 07:50 PM

I've been a subscriber for ages, my only gripes are the crap design app and all the discovery 'reality' car shows clogging up the menus. Oh, and their geoblocking sucks too...
Got to watch the first episode of shifting gears then it was blocked.

Worth the money to subscribe but I'm hearing a lot of people having troubles getting it to work.

Me too. I noticed a lot of misfit garage disappeared as well. I guess if you were committed enough, you could probably log in to the site behind a free proxy and get it all back. But to me all that was a happy surprise one day, I really only got it for roadkill, roadkill garage, dirt every day and engine masters. If you are on the app and its saying something like 'content unavailable right now, check later' I just keep clicking in it and after 5 tries it works for some reason. Hopefully with the influx of income they can fix some of their basic issues

Do you watch Might Car Mods 2? The second channel.

This and now The Smoking Tyre changing up sucks but they gotta do what they gotta do.

There are still plenty of channels to watch ( Jay Lenos Garage, HarrysGarage etc) just got to find them.

So has motortrend stop posting roadkill on youtube all together now?

That's correct

My understanding is it will still be available free but instead f being a month behind I think it's six or eight weeks behind the paid version and will have more adds

Falcon SXR8 · 28-03-2018, 07:09 PM

If you really love roadkill its worth the $ but 90% of the other content is blocked to the aussies.

Motorkill Notrend the first season of roadkill was better anyway throwing a 15 grand engine in a bucket of rust isn't that amazing too me. Heaps more content out there free.

Agree. Having a 6/71 blower or a 700hp BBC 'just laying around' must be awesome, but its not really relative to me

Yep .. this annoys the hell out of me with MToD

I find the App itself (on Android) quite hopeless too ..

I really enjoy Roadkill, HotRodGarage, all the Roadkill Extra's, Dirt Everyday ... but that's pretty much all I'm paying for.

ebv8 · 29-03-2018, 08:55 AM

i tried to pay online last friday but it didn't work and no money was taken out
if i signup on the net is $2.99US a month but on the app its $6.49AU a month so we don't get the 50% discount
i'm going to try again and see how i go

CFOUR · 02-04-2018, 04:41 PM

if you use a vpn even the supercars are live on motor trend on demand, get rid of that $100 per month cable bill if you only have it for supercars.
