There is always Star Sports in TVU Player if you can't catch another stream. Oh, and CCTV-5 if you don't care about the fact that it's chinese.

I used Wheels (RIP) for most of the season, but then when it died, i had to improvise. I don't get F1 live either, and i'm not crying about it.

To the Belgian members who use digital TV:

from what I read, in the UK, you can press the red button and follow all sessions live via that channel. Since I have a red button on my remote control too, would that possibly work in Belgium too? 8O

thanks :)



Are you sure it isn't the on/off button? It's red as well...

:p


No, I'm sure of it that it isn't possible.

And quite surely there will be lots of other foreign streams with usually very crappy quality. But I rather watch a tape-delayed torrent than those live.

BBC interactive does *NOT* work outside Britain. You need a special decoder and remote to use the 'red button' service.

I think i'll try to save money, pay the goddamn cable service to get it reconnected, and pay the freaking channel that shows F1. That would allow me to get for free the channel that shows NASCAR, A1GP, Grand-Am, ALMS, DTM, V8SC, BF3, FIA GT, World Series and stuff.

Ok, well im a non UK resident. I have been living in Japan for the last 5 years and have followed F1 over the net all that time. In the last year i have relied on watching all F1 over the net (free practice,qualifying and races) from the ITV feeds.

Now im going to be returning to Australia and Chanel 10 use the world feed from ITV now the BBC. Seeing as there is no other option than watching the BBC feed on Australian TV i think that it is a bit rich of you saying well its a UK thing, we pay the money for it so screw you. Well excuse me, when you have no other option than to watch the BBC feed from outside England i think that we have a right to watch that particular feed. So please come down from your high horse and realize that the BBC IS A WORLD FEED that is shown over the world. IT IS NOT strictly a UK feed. Hence the reason why it should be available for all to see in the applicable countries that use the BBC as their feed.

What was the story behind Wheels going anyway, does anyone know?
One week it was there then around Tally time, boom, gone, no comebacks...
Lawyers finally get to them? :?

All this talk about SPEED and the Irony is, until 2 years ago it was better than what we got over here.
Practice sessions, all qualifying sessions shown live (instead of the delay we got whenever non-lunchtime qualy didn't suit ITV) intellegent commentary done in a different way, Peter Windsor's pit reporting (10000% better than Louise and Ted put together!) and a team that had been doing it so long they knew the whole sport inside out.
