Watching F1 on TV
Discussion

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but will Now TV allow for "catch up/On Demand" for the full races? Both to join in partway through a race and/or to watch after the race?
Thanks
They never used to, but there's quite a lot of On Demand content now. I've just checked via internet browser and Xbox, and the second half of last season is available to rewatch including all practice sessions, qualy, GP and GP highlights.Thanks

It does make me wonder if they intend to broaden "On Demand" to include the upcoming races. I had an online chat with NOW TV and they weren't able to clarify the situation.I'm going to sign up (as £20/mth is a good offer) and see what they offer On Demand. I can always cancel next week!
It's a shame you have to pay an extra £3/mth for HD - HD should be standard these days.
With the fairly dense schedule these days, £20 a month for NowTV does start to make a lot of sense. I'm signed up too.
Just need Europe to sort out their vaccine sitch now and stop closing borders etc - otherwise we might be left with this weekends Bahrain GP and then another lengthy gap in the schedule

Sky were doing the F1 channel for £10 a month last season for exisiting customers, 30 day contract. Was waiting for the same again but doesn't look promising so far.
I just called sky to see if they were doing the same deal, no luck. It's £18 a month take it or leave it. I chose to leave it!I pay no money to Sky but have a Sky Go app on my iPhone thanks to a family members login which gives me access to the F1. A third party app that emulates AppleTV lets me cast the phone to my TV via a Firestick, but the Sky Go app blocks this route. Is anyone aware of a workaround to avoid me having to watch in on a small phone screen?

Only way I know of is to download the Sky Go app on a laptop and connect it to the TV via HDMI.MissChief said:

^^^ Sounds low tech these days but it's reliable and works. If you can see content on your laptop screen, then you can use your TV as your screen and see the exact same content. Get's around many DRM issues...A new NowTV Sports offer has appeared. It's £25 p/m (+£3 for HD 
) but only for six months so won't see out the season:

Now TV worked very well for me last year so I'm looking forward to watching this season in lovely HD

£28 per month just for F1? no thanks
Assuming (like me) that you're UK based and have no other sky-style TV this is the cheapest (legal) way of watching F1 - I figure a lot of people go to the pub and spend that in an evening on beer without even thinking about it - I have no interest in that so pay for F1 instead lol gshughes said:

I went with the slightly extreme option of £160 for a used ps4 
I haven’t touched any of the games it came with and likely never will, but it’s paying for itself compared to a sky box.
I just changed our TV package that saved us 500$ over the course of the year, the down side being I no longer have access to the sports channel that has the F1 broadcasting rights....enter the F1 tv app, 79$ for the whole year all races all qualy/practice sessions, this is man maths at its finest!
I screen mirror my phone to the TV , as although it’s a smart TV with the internet, F1tv is not a supported app!
I am liking it so far, it works v well, and I have access to a lot of the classic F1 content as well.
