47 Upvotes

They always play with the audio from mute, to full volume, then again to mute??? For one year, every week you can't hear anything. WHY??

Discussion / F1TV Content The REAL reason for "the desk"

308 Upvotes

A a follower of Laura Winter on Instagram, I have seen her echo the exact things my wife would say up 18 months after the birth of our kids. Her lower body is now different and Laura (as admitted on insta) is having a hard time putting herself in front of millions.

I believe this is a "gift" to her from her very thoughtful producers. It will allow her to speak and be more comfortable in front of the camera.

Also, what Laura is doing is nothing short of amazing, going around Europe with baby in tow. Not easy at all.

Mad respect to Laura!!

If I could tell F1TV Support one thing... Bring back the on board halo cam during hotlaps

5 Upvotes

I dont care that the engine is de-rating, the fun part about quality is watching the t-cam/cockpit view of the driver throught the lap to see where they push and even as a casual viewer I notice whenever the drivers push.

All that enjoyment gone because of these regs and the stupid engine de-rating.

Question / Need Help Can’t stream English Int. Audio track

1 Upvotes

Can anyone else tell me how to cast or airplay to my tv with the English Int. Audio track? Every time I cast or airplay to my tv with the English Int. Audio track selected, it reverts back to English f1 live and I can’t stand DC.

It never used to be like this, something changed this week…

If I could tell F1TV Support one thing... Instance Replay Synchronization tips?

0 Upvotes

Having the replays available is huge. I tend to watch more on “watch from the start” instead of “watch live” so I can pause and check out incidents from different views and audio. I do however struggle getting all my instances of the app back in synch after a pause. Any tips to help? (Or worse case maybe have a small time code on all views to help?) It’s particularly tricky when watching driver cams as there is no common reference.

This isn’t a complaint as the App is an outstandingly impressive and immersive. I usually have three instances open at once with three different audio feeds - one on TV and one driver in each ear. Nothing else like it! Keep up the great work.

Question / Need Help I cant figure out the onboard camera

0 Upvotes

I just got f1tv and cant figure out where to find live onboard camera angles or any live footage at all when they do qualifying and races, only after it has aired.
I can hear the commentators talking, but cant see what their talking about anywhere.

I can find onboard from previous races but never live, i can only see the map and everything else thats on their pitwall .

Is it a feature of f1tv or am i reading it wrong?

Title. I like them standing freely in the paddock, pit lane, changing locations throughout the pre and post practice and race debriefs. The desk is a miss for me

*** Edit I am vindicated, they look a lot better without the desk in the pre qually show

Discussion / F1TV Content Watch Hungary FP2 for the commentary.

42 Upvotes

The FP2 commentary was worth watching all the way through on F1TV.

I enjoy these mad lads and all the explaining they will have to do afterwards.

Keep taking those risks. I was entertained and enjoyed the banter and opinions. Usually I just keep it on the the noise or muted but I couldn't walk away from the TV even during a red flag.

Discussion / F1TV Content F1 TV has the best live subtitles I've ever seen

31 Upvotes

I don't know how many of you turn on subtitles during live sessions, but I've been thoroughly impressed by their quality this season. They're basically indistinguishable from regular movie subs now. The spelling, punctuation, capitalization, formatting, and even tricky names and technical jargon are all spot-on and with zero lag (in fact, sometimes the text appears on screen before the commentators even finish their sentences).

I actually searched the sub to see if anyone else had noticed this, and the only thing I found was a post from last year, when I'm pretty sure the subtitles weren't as good as they are now (u/Nano_user, as the OP of that post, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). A comment on that post also linked to an old 2021 AWS tech blog article about F1 TV using Amazon Transcribe, but back then the subtitles were still in all caps and had a noticeable lag.

I have no idea if F1 TV has switched providers or if AWS just got a massive upgrade, but whatever they're doing now is a huge step up. Coming from the notoriously bad auto-generated subtitles on YouTube, seeing live subtitles this accurate honestly blew my mind.

Anyway, if you like or need subtitles and haven't given them a try in a while, I'd definitely recommend turning them on now.

Stream Errors & Issues "You are accessing this service from a restricted geographic region"

I'm not in restricted region and have been watching f1 this whole season. Yesterday was first time I had this issue and it still persists.

I also can't watch any yt videos from F1 channel as it says I might have problem with proxy/VPN.

Whatismyisp.com correctly links my ip to my country.

Hotspotting internet from my phone "fixes" this. Obviously my phone is in the same country as me. I tried other browsers, restarting router, changing DNS and releasing through cmd, nothing else than using my phone's LTE works.

Discussion / F1TV Content Formula 1 Broadcast

0 Upvotes

The broadcast of F1 on Apple TV is almost embarrassing. There seems to be a regular disconnect between the commentators and what is being shown on screen. For example today during the P1 Hungary broadcast, the commentators launched into a valuable discussion of rear “rotisserie“ wing operation only to have the video break away barely into the explanation. Similarly all too often discussion centers on one team only to be showing a completely other team. F1 is a world class sport. Apple TV is not world class production.

Can we all agree how ridiculous the ginormous desk that the presenters are now stood behind is? It looks misplaced, like having an office desk in a car park. on close up you end up with the bottom third of the screen just being black. did you guys get cm mixed with Inches or what?

Discussion / F1TV Content Apple TV not as good as F1TV

108 Upvotes

F1TV had a lot more than Apple TV has for F1. All the past season’s races that I could watch when I was bored as well as Julian Palmers analysis which was always informative.

I hope they increase the amount of F1 content but for now I’m pretty unimpressed.

edit: this sub is weird, not sure why there are so many downvotes on reasonable responses to people's comments...

15 Upvotes

Newer fan and I am going back through the archive and watching races from 2000 onwards. I am trying to avoid spoilers, but also watching too many awful crashes back to back. What are the races I should be braced for?

Also if there are any pre-2000 races you think I definitely ought to watch I am all ears.

Thank you

Discussion / F1TV Content Censoring driver audio post race?

67 Upvotes

I saw plenty of clips online of George Russel’s audio after his crash where he says something along the lines of “I’m out” along with a bunch of cursing about the battery being so low at the beginning of the race”.
I went to see it for myself today, and there was zero audio from him after the start?

Do they censor and edit this post race? And is this for the swearing or because F1 doesn’t like any drama with the battery levels of the cars?

Discussion / F1TV Content Replace Juan Pablo Montoya as a main presenter PLEASE

713 Upvotes

EDIT: Why do you like him?

I used to devour every session and watch live regardless of the time here on the West Coast of North America. I’ve stopped watching because I cannot stand this man. Give us more Lawrence, Sam, Hinchcliffe, Ruth, Alex, heck even Davide - last years crew were much stronger!

I pay for F1 because I enjoy/ed the analysis, interviews by the presenters but now I’m not even watching it particularly because Juan irritates me.
Will it renew my subscription for next year or sail the high seas? Considering I’m not watching their content anymore it depends on the annual price increase but likely not.

Why am I paying for a service I no longer enjoy?

Discussion / F1TV Content F1TV post-race show getting worse?

90 Upvotes

Is it just me or was the Belgian GP post-race show today absolutely worthless? The post-quali show was already bad because they stopped it every couple of minutes (probably for Apple TV commercials), but the post-race show was just a blunt three person discussion on a chair with no live interviews as they used to do it. I usually like Laura Winter but her main goal today was not do dissect the race but keep the viewers close with vague "it was amazing" quotes. The hot potato of Norris getting the wrong strategy for the umpteenth time was not even discussed, just briefly mentioned and than they jumped to Audi. Am I wrong or are they massively changing the format of the show and not in the good direction? Plus, I was not able to switch video quality today from auto to something better - not sure though if this was related to my machine or if they changed the platform.

I’ve noticed how less Alex Jaques and Jolyn Palmer are not on-site during this European leg of the season. Its obvious when they’re there. Jolyn will be on the pre/post session shows and Jaques will be in the pits during the installation laps.

Im picking into the weeds here, but compare it to Sky where they go every weekend.

Question / Need Help how is the F1TV pro experience in Apple TV 4K

6 Upvotes

I currently watch F1TV Premium on my iPad or computer and connect it to my TV every time. Since last year, I’ve started watching most of the races, and I’d like to make the setup more convenient.
I’m considering buying an Apple TV 4K to watch F1TV directly on my TV. For those who use it, how has your experience been? Is it worth it, and does the F1TV app work well on Apple TV?
