I don't watch enough TV to justify having Sky/Virgin/BT Sports/etc, but at £3.99 per month this seems like a more cost effective way of watching the various cycle tours.
Also, for those that may use it, is it possible to then 'plumb' it into the TV ?
I watch Eurosport via the Virgin TV Anywhere service - so it's delivered over the web.
It's generally ok but I'm not sure I'd want the pictures shown on a full size TV - they can be a bit pixelly at times.
I had the Eurosport player app on my LG tv & subscribed for a year, but I could never get my head round the EPG (what was actually on the screen very often didn't match the EPG) and the picture quality was variable. The app itself seemed a bit naff too, slow to respond to button presses and the like.
I ditched it!
I have it and I put it on the TV via an Apple TV. Whilst it's not hd quality I find it more than acceptable.
Been using Eurosport player for the last month to watch the Spring Classics legally, my wife made me after she endured a pixellated edition of Milan San Remo. The quality is much better than the pirate streams, and for the monthly price (I'll cancel it at the end of the month) it seems worth it to me, pretty good quality if the connection is good, when the bandwidth drops, then so does the quality.
I watch Eurosport via the ES Player app on a tablet (Nexus 7 2013) - picture quality is excellent in my opinion. Also, if you sign up for a year then it is £2.99 a month, well worth it for the season even though there's not much I want to watch over the winter.
As for hooking it up to a TV, that depends on what device you are using and what TV, so you'd need to investigate it yourself. As far as I know the app doesn't currently work with something like Chromecast, don't know if there are any plans for this. The feed is in HD so I would expect it to scale up fine, but I haven't actually tried so wouldn't want to promise anything.

A quick and easy fix is to plug your laptop into the telly.
I've had it for quite a few years now and it means I can watch anywhere on my phone or tablet and on any PC. It works better than BT sports bag o'5h!te net based sports portal...
I use Eurosport via iTunes subscription and can view on my iPad or Air then plug either into the tellybox.
Proper.
Get it for nothing on my Panasonic through the Vieracast service. About the only thing I get mind you (besides German and Czech news channels)
I watch it on: laptop (at work), iphone (with free wifi in bars/coffee shops), XBox (rarely) on my Samsung TV using an app. Providing I have enough bandwidth I get the HD stream and it's pretty good. Only occasionally do they get swamped and provide a poor service. Given the annual price is a discount on the monthly, I get that to avoid having to remember to get it for the races I care about.
