Withnail Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Hi, I'm looking for recommendations on horse racing live streams. If I search around on Google then Racing UK keeps popping up. It seems a bit pricey but I don't mind that if it works well. I'm in Belgium and would like to watch live UK racing (for trading on exchanges) and possibly some US racing. I will be watching on desktop pc. Thanks in advance :-) Edited September 22, 2018 by Withnail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHills Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 AtTheRaces is £9.99 per month on desktop I believe http://www.attheraces.com/atrplayer You get the races from the US each night, plus Australia too as well as the courses from the UK that are not with Racing UK. Next year this is going to be changed to Sky Sports Racing. Racing UK is very good but its over £20 per month to subscribe. Be careful though because anyone who gets Racing UK on Virgin cant watch it live on the PC version or even the replays. This may also be the same for other networks. I can watch it online but only through VirginTV. (I think you can watch racing via some other devices, try searching ex-pat tv for example) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylark2009 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I think Racing Uk can only show live UK racing from 37 UK courses (from a total 60). You would also likely need a VPN of some sort if using a PC, as the ATR player is UK only and you would likely be blocked from viewing race if located outside of the UK.

Withnail Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 Thanks :-) So ATR covers all UK racing but Racing UK doesn't cover all the UK courses? Think I'd rather use a vpn with ATR then. I've been using the william hill radio commentary as well but I have no idea whether there's a big delay or not.

Think I'd rather use a vpn with ATR then. I've been using the william hill radio commentary as well but I have no idea whether there's a big delay or not. Since I don't personally use either, I couldn't confirm if ATR covers all live UK races (they may actually only have the rights to the remaining 23 courses). Probably best to email ATR to clarify. I am aware though from reading some RP articles that ATR will not be able broadcast live Irish races from the beginning of 2019. Update Just found this on the ATR site Quote What is At The Races? At The Races is a dedicated horse racing channel broadcasting daily, live action from the UK and Ireland. Domestic distribution of the TV channel extends to over 12 million UK and Irish homes via digital satellite and cable television on the following channels: Sky 415, Virgin 535 and Virgin Ireland 418. The company is majority owned by BSkyB and operates through a joint venture partnership between BSkyB and Arena Racing Company (ARC). Which UK and Irish courses does At The Races have the rights to broadcast? ATR broadcasts racing from the following tracks in the UK: Bath, Brighton, Chelmsford, Chepstow, Doncaster, Fakenham, FFos Las, Fontwell, Hereford, Hexham, Lingfield, Newcastle, Newton Abbot, Plumpton, Ripon, Sedgefield, Southwell, Towcester, Uttoxeter, Windsor, Wolverhampton, Worcester and Yarmouth. ATR also broadcasts exclusive coverage from all Irish racecourses: Ballinrobe, Bellewstown, Clonmel, Cork, Curragh, Down Royal, Downpatrick, Dundalk, Fairyhouse, Galway, Gowran, Kilbeggan, Killarney, Laytown, Leopardstown, Limerick, Listowel, Naas, Navan, Punchestown, Roscommon, Sligo, Thurles, Tipperary, Tramore and Wexford. Does At The Races broadcast any overseas racing? Yes. ATR broadcasts live US racing every evening and Australian racing from 2am every morning. ATR also covers selected high-profile meetings from France, the Dubai International Racing Carnival and top races from Italy and around the world. Will At The Races ever charge subscription for the TV service? No. ATR is committed to making racing available to the widest possible audience without compromise on quality of coverage.

Withnail Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) So basically if you want coverage of all UK courses you'd have to subscribe to both, because for example Ayr, Catterick, Newmarket and Newbury are not on the ATR list. Though ATR's coverage is pretty comprehensive to be fair. How naive of me, I thought there'd be a number of options available with full coverage haha Betfair live stream would be fine but i can't use Betfair from Belgium. I use Orbit exchange through an agent but there's no stream as far as I'm aware of. Guess I'll look around for decent radio options first, thanks for the info.

Valiant Thor Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) Just get IPTV If you dont know what it is just google it. Also no streams ATR,RUK or Betfair etc are any good for trading as they all are delayed usually by a couple of minutes at least,It should state that on the site I know betfair does.

The SecretJockey Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Withnail I am trying to send you a private message but unable to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withnail Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Thanks for the tip on the delays, I thought as much. I just looked for IPTV in Belgium but all the sites offering it look a bit shady and their business addresses are mostly home addresses on Google maps. Also lots of news reports on Google about IPTV companies getting shut down here so it's probably banned in Belgium. I don't know why you can't send me a message, I can't see anything in settings to change this, although I see I'm a "restricted member", don't really know what that means... @The SecretJockey @Valiant Thor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylark2009 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 @Withnail If you have an Android tablet, then you could try the Mobdro app. The free version has adverts, but it does seem to work well regardless. ATR and Racing UK are both delayed though by approx. 1.5 minutes, so in running trading would be very impractical to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withnail Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 @The SecretJockey OK thanks. Seems like there's no point in trying any of them if they're all delayed. Does anyone know if there's any radio commentary with no delay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Withnail Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Ah I see haha. Well definitely not worth the bother then because the subscription prices here are much higher than the other options, and the companies keep getting shut down, along with your subscription money....

Pirate53 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I use iptv in Greece with a VPN. I bought a 12 month iptv subscription on ebay for £10.99! Can watch RUK and ATR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withnail Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 That sounds good for the money, but I assume with a delay like the other's said and no good for trading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
