Just got an email notifying me that you can no longer subscribe to F1TV Pro in France. Existing subscriptions will continue until users cancel them.

I guess Canal+ negotiated a new exclusive deal like Sky did in the UK...

Anyone know the best country to er... live in, to get the pro subscription? I was gonna move there πŸ‘€ for 2024

Sounds like they're forcing people to pirate their shows

Poland is 65€ for the annual subscription. I usually don't bother with monthly + cancelling off season to save a bit of money.

$80 USD per year in the US, no blackout races, fairly similar price

Virtual Private Network or VPN.

Is that working for you still? I had to physically leave my country so I could start my subscription via the Android app because it wouldn't work on VPN and the website registration requires a billing address in that country.

For legal reasons this is a joke

I heard they cracked down on those of us that "live" in India / turkey and pay for our subscriptions there also...

The day this happens in the US is the day I stop watching, as I did when it mostly moved to Sky when I lived in the UK.

Yea if we start getting ads on espn and lose the ability to access f1tvpro then I’m fucking pirating it and whoever makes these decisions can get fucked

[–] e_mc2@feddit.nl 3 points 11 months ago

Hope those Viaplay fuckers don't get too much ideas here.

[–] jvzr@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

Got that as well.

They will apparently honor the current subscription but are very vague on the terms so I don't expect it to last.

Fuck Canal+

Goddammit. If I can't renew in a April next year, I'm moving to WEC. At least l'Γ©quipe doesn't have the same pull.
