I can;t log in to Eurosport player, and the Giro is only an hour away! I even tried creating a new account, but that doesn't work either! Now I've paid twice and I'm getting nothing :(

It's the 'usual' error where it decides your password and e-mail are invalid and won't let you reset.

Looks like steephill.tv for me or cycling torrents...

    Yup, it's broken but we seem to be experiencing different issues.

    I'm getting the "You don't have any active subscription" message. Yes I ******* do! :evil:
    I’m a sprinter – I warmed up yesterday.

    Emailed them early today but no reply
    Just keeps coming up "you don't have a valid subscription"
    Only 6 weeks left on the subscription so resubscribe under another email account but now get after paying with paypal "invalid email address"

    This isn't funny. The "My Account" page tells me that I don't have a current subscription, despite the dates showing that I paid for a year less than a month ago. & there's no way of contacting them quickly, nor any news on the website....
    If anyone has a Twitter account, I guess you could contact them @Spokesmen, but other than that, I have a day that I've set aside to watch the TTT & have no access.
    Very unhappy!

    I only registered for the first time today hoping to see the Giro. I created an account but I decided not to enter my card details yet.
    Then I went to subscribe and enter my card details but I cant and just get the message 'You don't have any active subscription'. Thought it was the round about way in which I was trying to subscribe but now I dont know what to do.

    Getting the same "you don't have an active subscription" message as other people. I also tried to pay twice with no luck. They'll be getting an angry email soon.

    Thanks for the other feeds as well
    See, because of me now they have a warning

    No news on what "asap" means. Given that it could mean minutes, hours or days, depending on the nature of the problem & given that there is no news on the website, it's pretty shoddy IMO

    Same thing happened to me, when you log on, does it just loop back to the login screen? If you look at the top right corner of the eurosport player page, it does actually say you're logged in, just close the tab (not the browser) and open it up again and it works. Although i also had to re-subscribe, bad form from eurosport.

    Received an email from them yesterday stating that they will deal with my issue within 48hours (read, when we get back to work on Monday sometime after lunch I expect) they also referred me to the list of frequently asked questions. Unfortunately I couldn't find the one which asks: Do you wish you had gone to Steephill to watch the Giro for nowt instead of paying 3 months subscription to us? Ah well, I am sure they will tack on the 2 lost days at the end of my subscription in the name of good customer service. End of rant :(

    Are people still having issues logging in??

    Yeh still having problems. Got a standard reply from them as well about technical difficulties

    Their systems working well enough for them to take payment from me though from my attempted re-subscription (which hasn't worked).
    See, because of me now they have a warning

    At this rate I reckon it should be fixed, say a fortnight Sunday!!

    Yep, still broken. Got standard reply and replied asking for it to be fixed or for me to be refunded. I've been using cycling torrents and enjoying the Giro in a different language every night. So far the Italian has been my favourite, although I think I'll stick with English if I want to actually know what's happening (although if I only have the choice of American I may stick with Italian).

    If you've clicked "Giro" it will be the non-comm coverage that is on before Harmon shows up for the day. It's not on ES TV but the feed is available to watch

    I don't get why Eurosport do this. Why not just pay someone (any reasonably knowledgeable person) the minimum wage to do a voice over? It would be better than nothing, and if it wasn't you could just turn it off.

    Okay, cheers.

    A bit crap that, but he ho....I thought it might be because I'm in Finland and they wouldnt have English speaking coverage due to that...or something!

    Cheers
