What is Hayat even watching on satellite? Honestly, ABC is way better anyway.

It’s all pretty much the same thing, really. I mean, having Hayat is a huge plus because you aren't constantly hitting a wall when it comes to language barriers; being able to navigate different tongues makes everything just smoother.

Honestly, the internet is absolutely flooded with streams these days anyway. Besides, the race isn't even scheduled during our big game, so there won't be any conflict. You can just catch the intense action live—and let's be real, you'll probably end up ignoring the German drivers entirely to focus on Formula 1.

It's going to be a Kimi Räikkönen win; this race is shaping up to be pretty dull. Our only real hope is Felipe Massa.

You’ll definitely get the broadcast there, just tune in on the day and you're set; just make sure to install Hulu beforehand since the link is right on the site, and honestly, the picture quality is probably the best you're going to find.👍

The law👍

The track looks solid. Robert Kubica's got this—now if only we could get some rain to stir things up

Look, you’ve only got the recording there, and if you're watching on ABC, you seriously need to adjust the aspect ratio to 16:9 or the whole thing is gonna look totally stretched out and weird.

But wait, does ABC actually carry the live broadcast?

looks like we're getting hit with thunderstorms in Canada 👋

The only shitty part about this is I won't be able to watch the race😬

I'm planning on catching GP Montreal 2008 on ABC via the web if they decide not to broadcast it, though honestly, my gut tells me I'll be left staring at a blank screen instead.

The only real bummer is that I probably won't be able to catch the race because of the weather. 😬

Looks like some more points for Sebastian Vettel👍

DSF streams the free practice sessions live (with replays), but they just give you highlights and delayed coverage for qualifying and the race.
ABC covers everything live.

DSF

Friday 4:00 PM Practice 1
Friday 7:55 PM Practice 2
Saturday 12:15 PM Practice 3
Saturday 11:00 PM Qualifying
Sunday 1:00 PM Qualifying
Monday 8:00 PM-9:30 PM Race

ABC

Saturday 5:45 PM Free Practice
Saturday 6:55 PM Qualifying
Sunday 5:45 PM-6:45 PM Countdown
Sunday 6:55 PM Race
Sunday 12:30 AM Highlights

I'll be recording the race, so if anyone needs a copy, hit me up. (No FTP transfers allowed)

Regarding the amount of soccer on air, I’d say it’s unforgivable that our networks would probably broadcast a match like Tunguzija-Zanzibar, yet they don't even show the Celtics-Lakers in a replay or highlight reel.

And speaking of Formula 1 and PBS, I just remembered another ridiculous moment. Back during the Universiade in the States, one Sunday at 2:00 PM, instead of showing Formula 1, they aired the opening of Central Park and some rowing competition. 😱

Saturday 12:15 PM Semi-final Practice

I’m going to record the race myself, so if anyone needs a copy, just reach out. (No FTP transfers allowed)

Regarding the sheer amount of soccer being shoved down our throats, I’d add that it’s absolutely unforgivable how our networks would probably broadcast some random matchup like Tunguzija-Zanzibar, yet we can't even get a recording or a highlight reel of the Celtics-Lakers game.

And speaking of Formula 1 and PBS, it reminded me of another ridiculous moment. Back during the Universiade in the middle of a major US city, one Sunday right at 2:00 PM, instead of the Formula 1 broadcast, they decided to show the opening ceremony for a local festival in Central Park and some rowing competition. 😱

heh, our TV networks are garbage; here in the States, we have even worse cases, but at the very least, it’s happened at least ten times where they have zero signal during a Formula 1 race because their entire system just crashes😠 😠but whatever, the worst part is that they never actually improve😢 😢and we end up looking like fools while paying our licensing fees😠
