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.
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
