Some people prefer not to fund criminals and potentially organised crime too.

That's a bit strong: Liberty Media have their issues but aren't that bad.

I would describe some of what F1/FIA do as criminal... But organised crime!? Nah... It's more like disorganised crime. Mess with the show a bit to get an interesting result... "oops we made that a bit obvious!", make up some BS to explain what they did and why it made sense, then do the opposite thing the following week and then explain why that made sense too...

If they were bank robbers they would have given three different alibi's before being asked where they were that night

Held out to see if they would do an offer in February but saw on Reddit that some countries are now getting quite steep price increases so bit the bullet and got it now for £60


I wonder if at some point they will increase the resolution from 1080p to 4K? It doesn't matter that much at 1080p as it's 50fps and a high bitrate which is preferable to being 4K but at a low bitrate for fast movement.

With the F1 TV Access app, what is the (typical) delay for Race Replays?
Is it just a couple of hours, or days?

Hours or minutes, not days.

The early races are ready to watch if you get up at normal times of morning.

Also if the live race is still in progress, you get the option to watch from start, or live.

I think he's asking about access not pro.

Another year of F1 tv misinformation begins.
I think its eventually prised out of someone in one of the earlier pages, but to recap. There is no replay of current seasons races in the same season on the cheap package in the uk. Maybe its the year after. Bit like reading the newspaper a year behind,pretty pointless.
As for the joker posting a figure of UK £ for a full package. Seems like a photoshop effort to me.
UK wise you cant get it unless you appear to be elsewhere in which case it would display and you would pay in the local currency.

Well, you're wrong in your photoshop assumption - but crack on. I would expand further but you think that the actual information you're referring to is posted by a 'joker', so what's the point?

It's showing as £71.99 for me.

ETA, That's been the same for at least four years I think.

Good of you to admit that you're posting misinformation. Didn't realise that you do it every year though...

What’s the link to this or the name of the service so I can search for it?

If he's right about one thing, it's that this thread does emerge every year with a load of questions about F1TV. It used to be just a handful of us on here using the service, but in recent times on race threads I get the impression it's more like half the F1 forum now! You can kind of tell from what people post which commentary they're listening too...

Anyway, for anyone interested ask away. We can dispense actual facts in addition to the made up cobblers from the odd halfwit

‘Tis OK - just realised it’s F1TV.

[Arrivalist]

So to be clear, does that F1TV service give live coverage or is it purely a replay service?
