M 🇮🇳#PSA Unless you have a F1TV Subscription, you would not be able to watch F1 legally in India :(
fossiloflife@mloclam wait. What?
@fossiloflife Yep, hotstar did not renew, so nothing there. The only best option is to watch the highlights on YT post the race. F1TV plans are expensive https://www.formula1.com/en-in/subscribe-to-f1-tv
@mloclam yeah. No, thanks. Welcome back to the good old days. Damn can’t give @Sathyabhat live spoilers now. 😂
Sathya@fossiloflife @mloclam 🤪🤪
Ninad Pundalik@ni_nad @fossiloflife @mloclam would have been nice for account sharing if they allowed for simultaneous streaming on all devices . Sadly for me f1tv pro is not even an option
@ni_nad @fossiloflife @mloclam because foxtel has exclusive access, I can’t get f1tv pro even if I wanted to. Foxtel forces me to get shit I don’t want. Previous post https://mastodon.social/@Sathyabhat/109885097797954020
Rushabh Vora@Sathyabhat I know, check the multiviewer.app I mentioned earlier, its feature set is insane! Has live telemetry overlay, etc. I believe that's what is being used here as well. @fossiloflife @ni_nad @mloclam
@rushvora wanted to show @fossiloflife that you might be one of the folks who use the monitors like that 🤣 @ni_nad @mloclam
@Sathyabhat @fossiloflife @mloclam are you saying you don't use the app, or are you saying we should not?
@ni_nad I think he meant pricing might be different on app vs web. Though I think it’s the same? But web is offering first year at $24/₹2000 @Sathyabhat @mloclam
@fossiloflife @Sathyabhat @mloclam aha, got it! Yeah, quite possible that there's discounting for new sign ups?
@ni_nad also I wonder what the conversation would be like. On a decent race day hotstar used to have almost 2L views + people on satellite TV. @Sathyabhat @mloclam
@fossiloflife @ni_nad @Sathyabhat Well, there goes my Hotstar subscription, I am not renewing it. As for F1TV, dont see the actual benefit for it like Netflix, it will end up unused. :( :(
@ni_nad @Sathyabhat @fossiloflife @mloclam I personally think $24 (current sale price till 26th, $30 afterwards) is a great price for the service they offer. You get full replays of everything (all F1 sessions, F2, F3), they have full race replays going back to 1981, and season highlights/review going back to 1970.
@ni_nad @Sathyabhat @fossiloflife @mloclam If you have an Apple TV, Vroom TV(3rd party app) is amazing, it supports multiview. There's also the multiview app for all desktop platforms — https://multiviewer.app
@rushvora more & more, subscription makes sense, no browser on Apple TV. Plus airplay is irritating 😂 @ni_nad @Sathyabhat @mloclam
@fossiloflife @rushvora @Sathyabhat @mloclam as they say in Marathi land, #HouDeKharcha! Do it before Sunday and save slightly...
@ni_nad @fossiloflife @Sathyabhat @mloclam Just wanted to update, I tested with my friends, and I checked a lot of Reddit comments & posts, there doesn't seem to be any single stream enforcement going on. We had 4 live streams going. I can confidently say that 3 people should be able to share an account.
