My bad - usually when I click threads it goes to the newest post I haven't seen, but this morning it went to 94's at the top of the page.  I had no clue what he was talking about, but saw the tweet later and figured that was it.  Thought I was giving context.  No good deed goes unpunished!

BTW, did y'all know there's a Baywatch channel? All Baywatch, all the time. It's glorious. And then there's ...

Any of y'all on Spectrum have the same issue as I do, or is there something I'm not doing correctly to make this easier?  I can't figure out a way to DVR all F1 race stuff at once.  Before Spectrum took over for Time Warner, I could record the whole season of races at once - set to record + 1 hour for all races.  Same for qualy (but only +15).  Now, I have to individually set each and every session, then go back in and edit to add the extra time for every one of them.  It's a beating to do it 20+ times a season x 6 shows a race, and frustrating when I forget to set up before and miss something.  Is there a better way to do this?

More "Adrian Newey to Ferrari" smoke. Apparently he's already had one meeting with Elkann (Ferrari president) and has an other scheduled. If Fred Vasseur lands both Lewis and Newey? /ioweyouanapologyiwasntfamiliarwithyourgame.gif

Easiest way to fix your issue in my experience it to call Spectrum, cancel, and sign up for YouTube TV.

Exactly.

1. Tell YTTV to record all F1 events.  Practice, quali, race... it gets 'em all. Oh, and it won't cut off if they run long or start late.

2. Tell YTTV to record all "Formula 1 Grand Prix Sunday" events. It will.  Plenty of fluff, but Brudle's grid walk interviews are usually worth a watch.

3. Profit? 

The profit is enjoying a seamless viewing experience across streaming device (TV/Roku/FireStick), tablet, and phone.

I used to have that problem with Dish when the races aired late on Saturday on ESPN and then re-aired on ABC on Sunday.  It would also miss practices and qualifying all the time.  Since I switched to DirecTV streaming, it has recorded every session without issue.

I've tried almost everything over the last 2 years and in my experience DTV Streaming and YouTubeTV are the best for F1 coverage, and pretty much most sports coverage in general.  DTV Stream has LHN, and YouTubeTV does not, but that's about to become meaningless.

I dropped my Spectrum TV streaming package, which unbundled me and drove up the price of my Internet access.  Overall, putting YouTubeTV on top of the new higher-cost Spectrum internet, ends up being a bit more expensive than the previous Spectrum internet/Spectrum streaming TV bundle, but the increased quality and quantity of offerings on YouTubeTV is enough to make me feel like it's worth it.

 

For now, anyway.  I'm sure it will all change again in a few months or a year.

The really nice thing about the internet streaming packages is they are month to month so it's easy to switch to another as things change and you don't have to swap out equipment.

Yep and then there's the rumor of Aramco buying out Aston Martin and going after Max and Newey. There's a rumor out there right now for pretty much every scenario. They mostly read like the wish-lists of whomever starts them.

So Albon wrecked in FP1 and damaged all 4 corners of the car.  Williams doesn't have a spare chassis in Melbourne.  The car was not ready for FP2.  They are apparently trying to fix the damage, if they can't, it's gonna be interesting.

I know it's early, but who is the list of drivers that it's time they move on?

Sargeant
Bottas
Ricciardo
Magnussen
Stroll
Hulkenberg
Tsunoda?
Zhou?

Damn, that's 1/3 to nearly 1/2 the field by my estimation. Some new blood would not hurt.
Not sold on Tsunoda and Zhou just yet, but close. Zhou seems solid, but in his time so far, the only thing that stands out is the wreck at Silverstone. Tsunoda I just think is a bit of a headcase for F1.

Well at least there was no sports media coverage of F1 in the USA, to spoil it for you, until you finally managed to watch it.  Oh wait, there STILL isn't...

They also occasionally had F1 on ABC's Wide World of Sports.  That's how I first started watching it in the early 80s.

I like Zhou. I believe he has talent and he seems pretty calm. Bottas can race obviously. The rest? Bring on some new blood.

I can buy that. Given that he's in a bad car, the fact that he doesn't get much screen time is maybe a good thing -- it would just mean he was screwing up.

Re: Williams, the important bit of this imho is that they showed up to the 3rd race of the season without a spare chassis. How in the actual fuck does that happen in an F1 that's rejecting Andretti on the grounds that they aren't a serious enough entry?
