Watching motorsport on free-to-air TV in the UK has turned out to be a bit of a challenge in 2014. Formula 1 has gone to Sky for half the season, and MotoGP has gone to BT Sport. However the Germans are broadcasting both on free-to-air satellite TV.
Find Formula 1 on RTL, on Astra 1L at 19.2E (12187.5MHz, Horizontal). BBC Radio 5 Live provides audio commentary for all races during the season.
And find MotoGP on Sport 1, on Astra 1M at 19.2E (12480.0Mhz, Vertical). Unfortunately audio commentary in English is harder to find. I've resorted to the Dorna MotoGP Live Experience smartphone app for audio commentary.
Both RTL and Sport 1 are commercial channels, so are supported by advertising. RTL especially seem to be able to schedule advert breaks whenever there's on-track action, rather than during safety car periods. Reminds me of the bad-old ITV days.
Use websites such as LyngSat, TrackSat and KingOfSat to find satellite channel details.
