We get live free coverage of quali and race. But both with ads (not during active running in quali mind you). And get Sky commentary which suits me as an ex-pat Englishman. But I have no pay option to extend or improve my coverage, so stream a dodgy stream on my laptop to watch during the ad breaks, and to get better pre/post race coverage.<br /><br /><br />And I have another browser window with Live Timing.<br /><br /><br />Give me the chance to pay for options, Sky style previews, mid week analysis, more live viewing options and I'd be in without a second thought.<br /><br /><br />Irony is Bernie was originally ahead of the game with the digital offering but plowing 10's of millions in and never got the return, hence lost faith and balls to innovate.Stignoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-42741247876511809942014-04-10T23:54:09.019-04:002014-04-10T23:54:09.019-04:00I was paying over $50 Australian dollars a month l...I was paying over $50 Australian dollars a month last year for a subscription to UK Sky so I could watch the SkySportsF1 channel. This $50+ got divided up to the 60 or so channels that I had to unnecessarily subscribe to just to get SkySportsF1, meaning that SkySportsF1 itself probably only got about $2 of that money. I'd gladly pay $50AUD per month direct to FOM for unrivalled exceptional coverage of the sport. If only they'd let me!Dylan Lindgrennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-78294969267869898412014-04-10T20:24:30.478-04:002014-04-10T20:24:30.478-04:00Subject: NBA League Pass

Those highlights (and great edits) are free, I don't understand how they'll be able to justify making their mobile app users pay to see highlights.erebus56noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-28389835313623944242014-04-10T11:01:24.560-04:002014-04-10T11:01:24.560-04:00MotoGP VideoPass isn't cheap and it's a li...MotoGP VideoPass isn't cheap and it's a little buggy, but it's not a bad reference point for F1.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
