F1 Massive Frustration

I've watched F1 for 20 years, now seriously thinking of quitting F1 because of how bad the Sky service is.

Missed the Barcelona quali. So tried to watch on catch up, but not available. Tried to watch on repeat this morning, but not available. Finally find it in the Sky Go app about 20 hours after initial broadcast. This is a frequent issue that on demand is so late to be available -- like Sky is still in the 1990s.

Then go to watch it, and immediately shown the result in the title of the highlights. So that's spoiled it. And then try to watch on Sky Go and it says it isn't available, even though it's listed and you can click on it.

**bleep**. Unless you watch live, the Sky experience is absolutely awful. So much is great such as the quality of coverage and presenters. But the technical quality and policies are dreadful. I'm don't think anyone from Liberty Media has ever seen how poor it is in the UK, because there is no competition. And if they did know that seasoned F1 fans are being turned off, I wonder if they would have extended the licence so far into the future.

You mention these issues to the phoneline, and it's just, oh well we'll let someone know. They do not care.

For a guaranteed one billion pounds (£200 million per season) I imagine they were happy to take the money.
