Seems to be mostly working for me. I set up a Surfshark account (note, cheaper price for this by using a freebie VPN set to USA when setting up the Surfshark subscription!) before setting up the F1TV Pro subscription.

Only problem is that casting won't work from the F1TV app. It displays the "ready to cast" screen on my TV but doesn't get any further. No problems casting from other apps such as YouTube whilst connected via Surfshark, and I've tried via both Android phone and iPad with the same result.
Just tried casting and it was a bit hit and miss. The app said "sorry an error has occurred" several times and then it worked. Now it doesn't again.

Hi all,

So after successfully subscribing to F1 TV pro earlier last week, I watched free practice yesterday (VPN to USA) and worked fine.

However, I am now trying to log in on the same PC (still using VPN to USA) and now when I sign in to the F1 TV Pro site, it says invalid email / password!

Any ideas please?

Thanks

David Coulthard in the F!TV commentary box. Does that mean he's not doing C4 this year?

Great addition to the team.
Apparently commentating on an unspecified number of races this year.

Alex Jacques and David Coulthard have moved to F1TV for commentating duties, and Channel 4 will be using this commentary on their coverage.

Coulthard will still be part of the Channel 4 team for pre and post race coverage.

I had FP3 on, but cleaning took over so left it. I’ve just gone back and started it from the beginning 15 mins after it finished with no issues. Glad you can join during or just after and it works.
That's one of the best things about F1TV smile

It was a pleasant surprise - I think I'll now stick with the F1TV commentary and cut Croft out for good!!

Although my ideal, and in fact their ideal, would be Brundle and DC commentating together. I'm aware neither of them can do the 'jumping up and down and screaming bullst part' of the task, but I can actually live without that wink

Non-shouty commentary is a lot better.

Did you click on the 'international feed' option?

I was thinking the same - it is optional, you can have F1TV or Sky commentary - which is an amazing choice to have at long last! Far better than the days of trying to sync radio commentary to a live feed in order to ditch Croft...

I did not, I'll give it a shot tomorrow for the race, I had some issues with my laptop before qualifying today (kvms stopped working!)
