A reminder that Tesco clubcard offers Now tv these days, so £1 of clubcard vouchers gives you £3 of Now tv spend. That works out at £66 for the year on the deal Now tv are offering. I am tempted, only holding off as I’m not sure we’re going have much of a season at this rate.

For WEC you can do live radio stream + VPN + Free to air streaming from a country that shows it live. the WEC homepage shows a list of how to watch in the country you live in and if it streams/FTA (iirc) .

indeed, a colleague's son works for one of the teams and although this weekend is on... the subsequent ones are looking dicey... PAYG appears to be the way forward!

Just contacted NowTV and cancelled my 9 months F1 season Pass.

No hassle and full refund, was tempted to keep it for the other sports channels but its looking like lots of sport will be cancelled soon.

I agree. Not done it yet, will wait for more news. Hopefully this will pull the cost down

I had heaps of club card vouchers that we can't use up here as none of the restaurants nearby etc.

So I converted them to now TV vouchers and have £150 in now TV funds. All for F1.

Glad I didnt spend them yet on a pass smile

I'll get chernobyl on entertainment instead

Chernobyl is amazing... wait for the coal miners, they're great!

I only saw episode 1 before we cancelled our sky sub so looking forward to watching the rest.

It's one of my favourite historical events as its such a creepy horrifying event as to how it all rolled out.

You may enjoy Inside Chernobyl’s Mega Tomb. It’s on BBC iPlayer if you have access.

So about to bite the bullet and do the sports pack in nowtv for £20/month but just checking - can I only watch it live or can I 'watch from start' if it's already running? Can I watch the whole sky sports programme on catch up with nowtv or is it only shown/available live?

I asked the same question last year, to be told "the clue is in the name" by a mate!

Full race on now tv catch up, (I have the movies as it’s 5£ a month, and Sky sports on Sky Q).

I’ve also seen they have red button channels on there now too like driver tracker, on boards, and multi split screen channel, Now TV is not bad if you have a few screens to play with.

Ok it’s not F1tv for functionality, but for £20 a month it’s not bad.

Cheers, that's interesting, tho from my perspective I quite like to watch the F1 in the evenings and generally manage to avoid BBC news etc for spoilers! If the nowtv F1 'catch up' only becomes available after the ch4 show airs it's a bit pointless for me. I know it's only highlights on ch4 but have never felt like I was missing much by not seeing the full race
