NOW TV F1 Season Pass
Discussion
Cancelled Sky Sports last year, and get the odd day/week pass from NOW TV, for the F1 and the odd football match i'm interested in.
Just got an email from these guys yesterday, £150.00 for 9 months, with no tie in for an ongoing contract.
It looks like its a full sky sports (8 channel) bundle too, for 9 months for up to 4 devices!
Happy days!

Yes agreed with the liberty direct service.
I’d imagine sky are doing all they can over the next few years to get subscriber numbers up to justify the payments to Liberty.
If you look at say the WWE network, that has completely changed the way an organisation that controls the broadcasting can charge customers directly, the value of that company has doubled since it started offering the streaming service.
I know I’d happily pay $8/£8 pcm if I got the full race content & sky standard broadcasting.

I used an ASUS router, behind my ISPs fritzbox with Perfect Privacys VPN service using OpenVPN protocol. I'm not worried about anyone hacking my CC details. I tried using my mums address and postcode from Yorkshire with my german card, no luck 
In retrospect, it's quite lucky that nowTV saw through my cunning plan, as the F1 Pro streaming service is much cheaper.
If it works as well as they are claiming it will, I can see Sky / nowTV taking a pasting, at least as F1 is concerned.
They thoroughly deserve it too, the greedy b

Forgive me but if your in Germany, you can access f1 pro without the need for hiding your IP address.In retrospect, it's quite lucky that nowTV saw through my cunning plan, as the F1 Pro streaming service is much cheaper.

Of course I know that, at the time I was trying to pay for the nowTV F1 season pass with the VPN, to fool them into thinking I was in GB. It was only after I'd failed at that, that I saw the news on the net about the new streaming service, which I will stream with the normal router from my ISP onto my notebook, and then with a HDMI cable from it to the TV
Ahh I see, sorry!!Thought you found a fiver when in fact it’s a fifty!

The likely problem is that those of us in the UK will be blocked from subscribing as our credit cards are registered to UK addresses, hence the advantage of having a German credit card. Getting over the geoblocking of the service using a VPN is a separate issue.
Im really not as up to date as i should be on the tech side as things, however i will offer this.When im in europe for the summer i can not watch sky go/now tv on my i phone directly, however when i create a hotspot and connect my ipad i can watch on this, perhaps a german sim card will work the same way?

Isn't that with an 18 month contract?
That'll be handy when it runs out half way through next years season!
I don't fancy paying for F1 during the off season!
A season and a half for £270!That'll be handy when it runs out half way through next years season!

I jest but following the now tv offer, I’ve received two emails today one from now tv for the 150£ 9 months and another from sky offering full sports pack (all channels) on the hd box for 18 pcm (again 18 months).
Argghhh !
