F1 Availability Awful

I cannot believe that once again Sky are getting things so wrong. Trying to watch the Monaco F1 on a slight delay and because Sky have decided to put it on Main Event as well as F1 channel, the red flag means the main event has now become football midway into the race and I cannot carry on watching. Sort it out Sky, getting rid of the ability to physically record something was an awful decision as you cannot get streaming right!!!!

@TangoSquared @dezzie81  The lesson is to always set the playlist from the sports main channel not main event that way you won't miss anything when main event switches sports

Re: F1 Availability Awful

I wondered if I did that but checked and I haven't. Even from the F1 channel, selecting 'watch from start' switches to main event. (And then ends when it goes to the football)

Re: F1 Availability Awful

Thinking of going to virgin now, last season we lost the end of pretty much all the red flagged races coz the schedule over ran. And now this, 4 laps and then it moves to sky sports. Coz yet again 22 men chasing a bloody leather ball takes priority and then we we do get to watch from the. Exr show in the playlist. It's starts from lap 56, what a bloody joke sky are becoming, over prices TVs that are crap. And an over proved TV service with is equally as crap. And if you want to go back to sky q, they wanna charge you....clowns...

I'm thinking of going to virgin. This sky stream service is as good as quite from Martin "useful as a chocolate fire guard", it's bloody shocking, last season I swear we lost the end of most the red flagged races. And now this. An hour on main event?? What the hell, then in my play list the next episode starts from lap 56, so I miss lap 5 to 55, why do I pay these clowns for a service that is crap, and for a TV to Mach the service, shocking...

Not just the main event chanel! I recorded the race on the F1 Chanel and lost the last 8 laps. Don't even get me started about the delayed  Indy 500, the recording cut out on lap 60!

I have set the main F1 channel as the playlist and that still didn't work. Rang sky yesterday as so sick of glass and they offered to switch me back to Q for free, making my glass TV a very expensive box. Shocking

Re: F1 Availability Awful

I can't watch the F1 Monaco Grand Prix at all as the recording ends after 1hr (around lap 4) ... I was struggling with this for a while then opted to watch on Channel 4. Very annoying

Re: F1 Availability Awful

Try watching the Monaco F1 highlights! You get the Indy 500. So I've completely missed it. This is not the first time. I had the main race on record, but it didn't record. How much we pay for this, they need to be 100% right!
