Where is F1 coverage again

BaggieB — Fri, 01 Nov 2024 20:26:17 GMT

This is ridiculous. Just sat down to watch the Sprint Qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix but it is nowhere to be found. The tile exists on Brazilian Grand Prix page but takes you the Mexican Grand Prix. Not the first time this has happened. I'll add it to the glitching, unwatchable playback, the missing build up because it takes you to the main event coverage (I have seen a lot of cricket this F1 season!) and the inability to fast forward without been thrown back to the last set of adverts. Sky take us for mugs. the service is shocking and I cant wait for my contract to end. Rant over.

I'm finding the same issue this evening. Can't seem to catch up on the Sprint Quali. First time I've had the issue. Hope there's a fix soon.

I know but not available to replay. I was still at work when it was on live.

Gone to add the sprint qualification at 10. And in the play list shows a programme about Nicolas Hamilton 🤷

BaggieB — Fri, 01 Nov 2024 21:56:35 GMT

I hope not. I was planning to watch it at 10 on the basis I cant depend on it becoming available to replay.

F1manic — Fri, 01 Nov 2024 22:07:49 GMT

Well it shows a picture of Nicolas Hamilton and the title says formula 1

Same for me, but it started last weekend. The last thing to be accessible is FP1 last week! Sort it out sky, you charge enough for these services

F1 problems again.

So replay for sprint qualifying in Brazil is nowhere to be found on Sky, this is not great at all.

Channel 4 to the rescue as it's on this morning at 920am.

Did you record (Sky Q) or playlist (Sky Glass/Sky Stream) Sprint Qualifying?

Whilst it wasn't available to watch immediately after Qualyifying last night, both FP1 and Sprint Qualifying where on my playlist to watch when i checked first thing this morning.

Shocking service!

I am on Sky Stream and yes it has appeared at some point this morning which is still not acceptable given the race itself is on today. The whole point is about having the flex to watch when it suits you.

Thats not strictly true with a streaming based platform. For Sky Q thats true as you have a local hard disk you can record content onto.

For streaming platforms you have to wait for the broadcaster to make the content available to be watched on-demand. Whilst this typically may be immediate, its nots always the case ( particularly for live broadcasts). On-demand content will also expire, so you do in theory have a time frame as to when you can watch the content.

This is ridiculous, Spring race is showing up but when you click on it you see it was aired yesterday at 6pm.

So they have two sprint qualifying tiles up

All

As per the BBC website:

Qualifying has been scheduled for 07:30 local time (10:30 UK) and the race moved forward by an hour and a half to 12:30 local (15:30 UK) because of the forecast of more wet weather on Sunday.
