Sky Stream Formula 1

Hi folks considering moving to sky stream and need to know if for example if I add say the Austrialian Grand Prix to my playlist as the race is on at 2:00am. When I get up in the morning am I able to watch it ? I'm getting conflicting information from Sky people don't have a clue so thought I would ask users.

thanks in advance

Hi @jimboglas 

There was a load of hassle with it not appearing for playback in a timely manner in the early days. However following an update a while ago, Sky allow F1 to be cloud recorded as long as you add it to your playlist from the TV guide.

It's been far less painful this season than others providing you add it to the playlist. If you don't there can be a delay before it appears for playback via the Sky Entertainment OS user interface.

Do yourself a fabour and do not commit to a contract with Sky Stream. I subscribed in May 24 primarily for F1 and have had nothing but headaches, ruined and missed races completley due to lack of recording .

I have also had issues with Netflix on the Stream Puck not working but switching to the Netflix all on my Smart TV working fine.

Even pausing the race and continuing has been plagued with issues.

I came from BT TV because I ditched BTs broadband which is a prerequisite for BT TV, and whilst BT did have some issues they weren't a weekly occurance like i'm having with Sky.

I'm done now - the stream pucks are headed for the trash.

Personally, I haven't had an issue with F1 being cloud recorded and popping up in my Playlist

Neither have I ( apart from the issue that affected 2 races earlier this season where the first 15 laps about skipping issues on the recorded playback).

However i've have seen a couple of people post on this forum about the playlisting not working for F1 but i've never understood why that would be the case.
