F1TV now blocking VPN access
(feddit.uk)
You will no longer be able to watch F1TV Pro from countered where it is unavailable, using a VPN. For example, the UK. You will instead see an error about your geographical location.
I got the cheaper F1 subscription for exactly this purpose as well.
However, they put a 48h delay on replay availability in my location, so I was forced to upgrade.
Now that they're hosting more events in countries with very questionable human and social rights (many nations in the Middle East and one in the Americas), I've decided to stop supporting F1 directly and I'm spending the money on tickets to my local GP and pirating the rest of the season.
I've always wondering how long it would be before the replays are watchable after the race, I hardly ever watch the races live so was tempted by the lower tier F1TV subscription. But 48 hours? Fuck that, I'll remain a pirate.
In some areas it's immediately after the race, but not for me.
Assume the UK is not one of those areas.
UK doesn’t have access to F1TV
You can't get the live stuff but you can buy the tier with access to all the race replays.
Yeah, but that is usually loads of hours after the race?
I don't know, but I assume so.
