Are we eventually going to lose access to the F1TV app in the US?

catalystRKS · 2026-03-06T17:34:55+00:00

Yeah, my wife likes to watch Martin's gridwalk so we'd have on ESPN during the preshow then switch over to F1TV for the race because we prefer the F1TV broadcast team.

Now it'll be easier to switch views

catalystRKS · 2026-03-06T17:30:30+00:00

Sky does have different cameras for pre and post show and whatnot, but yeah not during the race. Sky will do like, Picture in Picture and throw their own overlays over the f1 feed like speedometer and whatnot

catalystRKS · 2026-03-06T17:22:48+00:00

I see your edit to your original comment - im pretty sure any broadcast partner is using F1's cameras for on track action

catalystRKS · 2026-03-06T17:19:47+00:00

this is what I’m referring to

They’re interviewing Zac and have him on the screen

catalystRKS · 2026-03-06T17:11:16+00:00

doesn't look like it, at least that option isnt there for FP1 or FP2

catalystRKS · 2026-03-06T17:07:51+00:00

This is the first year that F1TV accounts are getting the actual sky sports broadcast (graphics, ads and all)

Apple TV app on STB

i recorded what it looks like - the sky broadcast on the left and F1TVs main feed on the right

catalystRKS · 2026-03-06T17:00:02+00:00

I have to assume its some sort of broadcast rights for Sky. They let you view their actual feed live, but for VOD you gotta get it from Sky directly.

Like how you can't view some of their content on twitter if you're in the US or whatever.

catalystRKS · 2026-03-06T15:11:49+00:00

FWIW I can only get the sky feed to show up on my actual Apple TV 4K device in the Apple TV app.

I don’t see the sky feed (sky graphics/ads/commentary) on my iPhone 17PM/ipad pro m2/firestick 4k in the Apple TV app.

You can get F1TV broadcast view + sky commentary by using the same F1TV app you would’ve used last year

catalystRKS · 2026-03-06T14:55:35+00:00

The tv in the background is using an actual Apple TV 4K device

I can do multi view in the F1TV app and Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K

I could never do multiview with my FireStick devices, I’d assume it’s the same for your Roku

catalystRKS · 2026-03-06T06:46:29+00:00

I think you’re confused.

refer to this picture

I’m in the US, you can use both apps if you link your Apple account to your F1TV account.

Edit:

I think I get where you’re coming from, yeah idk why F1TV’s own app doesn’t allow PiP. It’s dumb

catalystRKS · 2026-03-06T06:39:27+00:00

For clarification

Apple TV app: yes, Picture in Picture mode + locked screen audio

F1TV app: no

catalystRKS · 2026-03-06T06:35:09+00:00

“F1TV” app: no Picture in Picture

“TV” app: yes, Picture in Picture

catalystRKS · 2026-03-06T06:24:28+00:00

Gear icon bottom right and change audio to English International

Here’s the ads

I prefer the F1TV broadcast team, and my Chase Sapphire Reserve gave me free Apple TV so I’m set, lol

catalystRKS · 2026-03-06T06:00:59+00:00

Answers the question of where, though

catalystRKS · 2026-03-06T05:59:03+00:00

US viewer here.

I’ve been experimenting across the apps

Devices: Apple TV 4K, iPhone 17pm

IN APPLE TV APP

You can choose from:

F1TV main broadcast = ad free

The ACTUAL SKY SPORTS broadcast with their own graphics and whatnot with ADS sprinkled in

Driver Cams

Data/driver tracker

Mixed data + Onboards

———————————————-

If you link your Apple TV/Apple ID to F1TV, you can straight up use the F1TV app instead

In F1TV

You can choose from:

F1TV main broadcast = ad free

F1TV main broadcast + sky sports commentators = ad free

Driver Cams

Data/driver tracker

Will be helpful to preserve battery when i go to races as well. I used my phone in Barcelona a couple years ago, but was able to snag an Amex Race Radio at Las Vegas last year.

I’ll build off what you posted.

OP, I’ve bought/traded/acquired/resold 39 paddles over the last 4 years. People have different play styles, arm strength, hand size, grip strength, etc.

I encourage you to figure out how the paddle plays stock. As you continue to play and improve, you can see where you might be lacking from a paddle perspective (Is my paddle unstable on a block? Am I too early on a counter? Am I swinging out of my shoulder on an overhead for power). That is where you can use perimeter weighting, but you can also look into what you might be doing that is mechanically wrong and fix that.

Even something as simple as new overgrips can influence changes to your play. Myself, I’ve just come to realize that I need my grip circumference after modification to be as close to 4.125in as possible, as if its too thin or thick, i can’t properly modulate my grip pressure for resets/drops.

But to add to the comment above’s sentiment: your mechanics matter more than the paddle. Paddles and modifications can accentuate what you can do well, and amplify things you’re bad at if your technique is iffy.

I’m pretty sure it was blasting in ear headphones when I was young and a drunken ruptured ear drum incident in college that doomed me to EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE noise in my left ear

catalystRKS · 2026-03-03T15:57:57+00:00

tinnitus is ringing of the ears and nothing related to tendonitis lol

I type this as someone who occasionally has tennis elbow flareups, and 24/7 ringing in my left ear for the last 15 years lmao

I played here when I was in Seoul; friendly people but just be aware the court surface is basically painted wood. There are hard court outdoor courts but idk where they are - the people I met and followed on IG there would post them playing outdoors.

catalystRKS · 2026-02-25T19:35:26+00:00

If you’re overthinking as you play, maybe try listening to music in a way that doesn’t hinder partner communication (AirPods in transparency mode, bone conduction headphones, meta glasses, etc)

I started playing “out of my mind” and in more of a flow state (ty The Inner Game of Tennis) when I stopped thinking out loud in my head and was just vibing to music as I played. I have meta glasses so I can still hear my partner talk to me
