Never really thought about it but in the US I think F1 is like the only sizeable sport that I can watch without paying a cable company or streaming service and without needing a VPN to say I am in Brazil or something to be able to see all the games. Actually I think Willow.tv will let me watch a lot of Cricket if I wanted to but maybe not like the mega important international stuff? I don't know

cricket is split between Willow/ESPN/HotStar or whatever that Indian service is called, i forgot who had which leagues/games except i think Hotstar had the IPL/international stuff cycling is a total mess. NBC/Peacock has some, GCN has some, and everyone would really love to dump FloSports but they still have a contract with Flanders Classics so they still have the Tour of Flanders which is one of the big races of the year and you have to get a year subscription to watch it. big issue with cycling is that there's a single sanctioning body but multiple promoters who can all sign different contracts with different providers if they want. big benefit to F1 having one party for all the TV rights (before the original concorde agreement in like 1981 every race managed themselves in a way)

Sports in the UK is a hot mess. Amazon, BT, Sky all own different bits of it and often the same sport. Moto GP and F1 are on completely separate platforms. The only one that isn't messed up is the WWE TV which gives you every show plus all the live events for £10 a month iirc,

Sudden Loud Noise posted:MLB.TV, watch every MLB game! (except for your local team's games. You still need to buy the most expensive cable package to watch your local team not make the playoffs.) But does mlb.tv get Friday night baseball that streams on Apple TV+? Luckily I have boomer parents that will never give up DirecTV, so I can use their login to get bally sports so I can actually watch the Braves. Streaming sports is going to get way worse before it gets better I am afraid.

I will say the Apple TV+ MLB games are far more enjoyable than regular games, mostly because the two I've watched featured Hannah Keyser and Katie Nolan on the announcing teams who both realize that nothing is more boring than people talking about baseball for 3 hours.

There's no real way it can get worse than it is now, where like you have to have both actual cable and Peacock in order to watch all the Premier League games.

Apparently NFL game pass works flawlessly outside of the US and gets every game you want live and plays highlights during the US commercial breaks (which are frequent.) The big problem most people report with it is that you have to watch the NFL. Whenever I hear Crofty sell the “Sky Q customers can press their Sky Glass button and…” it makes me think that watching F1 in the UK must be poo poo like the NFL is here, but I’m not sure anything g could be worse than them.

If people start subbing to Apple TV+ just to catch their favorite team on it, other streaming services are going to want to get in on that action. Rightsholders are going to sale in order to maximize their revenue and in the end its just going to be a pain in the rear end for the consumer. I've joked for a long time that there are going to be more and more streaming services (Netflix, hulu, disney, peacock, etc.) and eventually they are going to get bundled and we are going to get back to the cable subscription model for streaming.

I really like American Football but the way the NFL game is edited for broadcast is loving unwatchable (I'm pretty sure based on its popularity that like half the American population is lobotomised) and the Canadian ruleset is loving moronic and basically just results in an hour where each side tries twice to get the 10 yard gain all in one go before just loving punting it down the field.

Watching one live American football game is dire. The proper way to do it is to have Redzone on a screen for constant highlights you can look at and two games you care about to watch the back and forth on different screens. Redzone itself is way to ADD for me and you can't get a sense of the game the way it jumps so much. F1TV looks nice are most Goins happy with the offering? Maybe I'll get that

F1TV seems pretty great and they’ve even since fixed my big gripe of not being able to rewind during the live broadcast, plus access to F2 and F3 and all sorts of other F1 content if you care about it.

Yes, but those streaming services have more than just that sport. If you are a person who watches nothing other than baseball, not even any TV shows, then yes it will be a problem. But most people aren't that and most people will just have these streaming services anyway. Many people will subscribe to all the major streaming platforms by default and consequently just also have access to all the sports. nerox posted:I've joked for a long time that there are going to be more and more streaming services (Netflix, hulu, disney, peacock, etc.) and eventually they are going to get bundled and we are going to get back to the cable subscription model for streaming. Lots of people make this dumb joke and it's always dumb because there is no logic behind the dumb suggestion that a bunch of competing companies would bundle their services together for no reason other than to justify the dumb claim that streaming is somehow turning into cable even though it resembles cable in literally zero ways. Obviously there were always going to be more and more streaming services and I am deeply confused by anyone who didn't see that coming - did you really think everyone paying $100/month for cable would turn into everyone paying $10/month for just Netflix? If so, be better at math. The point of OTT streaming is to replace the revenue being lost by cable, it always needed to grow in order to do so. Like, duh. Idk what world y'all are living in where corporations are just dying to make less money.

One of the best reasons to try and use F1TV over the Sky broadcast is to get away from the constant Sky adverts for other things they have on that weekend. Also no Horner pit wall radio link.

Matchett pointed out live that the Red Bull cars were really hot in places they shouldn't be, and a week or two later we were all talking about the new off-throttle engine mapping they were using. And just constant commentary on poo poo like the Coanda effect and so on. They didn't treat their audience as if they were stupid and the closest they cmae to favoritism was mocking teams who sucked and getting excited once in a while about American involvement in the sport. No loving way is Crofty et al going to figure that poo poo out. The best Sky can do is have Button and Rosberg give interesting commentary. The fact they Sky continues to refuse to have anyone with any engineering/design experience on their commentary team is a massive loss for the sport at large.

Wanted to get into F1 this season. Unfortunately here in Australia it's only available via our lovely Murdoch Fox Sports conglomerate streaming service Kayo, which wants $25 a month for it, which will soon be a single stream only. Sure you get alot of other sports for that price, but I have zero interest in anything else. Currently wondering whether it's worth the inconvenience to see if I can't sign up for F1TV Pro and access via a VPN.
