F1 On Demand

[Bryan]

Hello, fellow F1 fans,

I am sure once in a while, some of us will find ourselves unable to watch the race live. Well, I am in this situation for the upcoming race (French GP).

- May I ask, from all your experiences, how long does it take for Now TV to upload to the On-Demand the full race replay? 

I have heard that there is some inconsistency. I hope it is not the case because spoiler can really ruin the experience. I am willing to go to the length of not checking my social media for the whole day. I only hope that Now TV can do its part and make our lives easier by uploading speedily.

Thanks!

Bryan

Edit: Now TV & Sky TV this is your best chance to outflank Channel 4. The only reason I would watch Channel 4 is when I missed an F1 race. Please take that excuse away by improving your On-Demand service.

Have a nosy at this thread, staff members from NOW have confirmed timescales.

its now 23:09 and the race is still not on demand. Why is there such a delay for it to be uploaded? the race ended over 7 hours ago. now I have to wait till midnight to watch it on Now TV and it finished at 03.30, I really don't want to be staying up till that time when I have work the next day. I have paid for my subscription and F1 is the only channel I watch so I should be allowed to watch it as soon as I come home from work. SKY, PLEASE UPLOAD THE RACE SOONER INSTEAD OF MAKING PEOPLE STAY UP ALL NIGHT TO WATCH THE RE-RUN

@Anonymous User the French GP is now on demand. The reason for the delay is the existing rights deals.

Other networks (namely Channel 4) have the rights to show a replay of the race and extended highlights before Sky can show replays/on demand.

If you have the All 4 app, you can watch the race when you get in from work on a Sunday!

NowTV has the same problem with the support categories. The F3 Feature race from Sunday morning still hasn't appeared online and it was three days ago. Not really good enough is it?
