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.
Confirmed, just tried with 2 different VPN providers and cannot access last weeks race replay now.
It honestly baffles me how blind sky and f1 are to how damaging this shit is to the sport. Now instead of getting 4-6 subscriptions within my circle of friends they will get 0 and we will all go back to pirate streams.
They will sleep just fine in their mansions tonight.
Exclusive broadcast rights will cease to be a thing when consumers stop participating and watching these broadcasts, but most are unwilling to cease consuming the content long enough to have an impact on the bottom line which is the only thing they care about.
They've killed so much sport by shoving it behind a paywall.
Can't remember the last time I've seen any kids play cricket in the local park. Used to be rife, back in the day.
Probably doesn’t help that crickets rules are so convoluted lol then again I’m American so it’s not like anyone here has ever even thought to try cricket
You just hit it as far as you can, for 5 days. With a few well deserved tea breaks. Simples!
