MODERATORS
 

Sadly I am located in a country with a Murdoch hold on the F1 rights (Australia, and barely HD kayo), and because of this F1TV pro is not available here. We only get the option for live timing.

A few questions I thought some of the lemmy crew might know the answers to:

  • First, is this an Ok place to ask these questions on how to get access? Don't want to upset the mods etc. if this isn't, where might be a better place?
  • In the past I have seen mention of using a VPN to another location (India, turkey etc), and then using something like Google pay to subscribe for an entire year. This i believe also just worked when not on VPN after subscribing, which was appealing (as setting a VPN for the TV and mucking about at 1am is not). But I had also seen that F1TV cracked down on this also, so it may not work again.
  • Any other decent live stream options? I was an initial and long time user of "Hendo and his mates" "Race Tarting" crew which was amazing for the few years that worked.

Keen to hear what the community does or thoughts on what options are out there.

IPTV. I just checked and the channels are there along with all the onboard cams. Nothing on the EPG at the mo but they are there.

[โ€“] qdJzXuisAndVQb2@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

What iptv service?

Try using a vpn. Some of them continue to work even after the crackdown

[โ€“] Woodstock@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just a warning on this, Liberty have started a crackdown on it so itโ€™s not guaranteed to work.

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

A second crackdownยฟ? Just how much revenue do they think they lose from this

[โ€“] Woodstock@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Itโ€™s completely stupid, Iโ€™d happily pay for f1tv pro but I refuse to pay the extortionate amounts sky or nowtv charge. Rather then buying those I just set sail ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ

[โ€“] Photographer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Liberty are probably cracking down on VPN due to pressure from Sky, blocking VPN will lose them money.

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

A completely understandable decision

[โ€“] BURN@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Less than theyโ€™d lose if their exclusive regional partners stopped paying for regional rights

[โ€“] Nighed@sffa.community 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought that the limitation was needing a payment card from a supported country?

[โ€“] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

No. Even accessing the account for the live events won't work for most VPN providers

[โ€“] MadMonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'd love to see an answer. I got F1 TV and will be visiting Aussie for the Grand Prix. Obv track view vs F1tv is different so was hoping to go home after the races and watch the replay.

If Australia have F1tv blocked that's pretty shitty

[โ€“] fodderoh@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Might try looking at whether Sky Sports (with VPN) is an option.

[โ€“] 50MYT@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah we have kayo which is the streaming version of Fox sports here. They show the sky feed.
