This thread needs an update every weekend for those of us on highlights to let us know if it’s worth watching or not.

It’s also still really annoying that the C4 on-demand service doesn’t let you watch the channel ‘live’. First world problems and all that.

I'm currently watching it live on demand...

On a TV or device?

It's on my TV, via the channel 4 app, I don't have an aerial. Just checked and I can watch it on my phone too

That’s even more annoying!!

Our ‘big’ TV doesn’t have an aerial connection but the C4 app on it won’t give the option to watch live whereas my iPad or phone would

Same. LG TV and the channel 4 app doesn't appear to offer live TV option.

Watching on my tablet where you can watch live or watch from the beginning. I tried from the beginning last week as I was well late getting round to tuning in. But what a st bag it was. You can't skip forward or rewind. And the adverts appear to be served from some other service because it would always freeze on the second set of adverts and then I'd have to start from the beginning again. Gave up in the end and just watched the YouTube highlights from F1 themselves. Which is about all it needed in the end.

It can't be that hard. On BBC you can definitely jump into a live stream and then ffwd or rwd at will. I've noticed as well when viewing on a computer that they will pause the video if you aren't currently having the tab active and it's time for adverts. You will watch the adverts!

I think the BBC and iPlayer spoil us although this seems to be an LG TV thing because mine is LG too.

Guess I’ll just have to put up with the less comfy sofas and the smaller TV for the rest of the race!
