On a small F1 group I frequent someone has asked about viewing Formula One races in the USA. I will just copy and paste his query:
Question for those of you stateside:
Do you know of any websites that stream the races live?
I cut back my cable subscription to just basic cable and to my horror I no longer have the SPEED channel.
hock:
Before I go back and give the monopolistic bastards my hard earned money, just so I can receive one decent channel and over a hundred channels of crap, I want to make sure I've chased down all other possible options.
In the past, when SPEED does not have the races live, I've tried justin.tv but the quality of the feeds, if you can find one, are pretty poor. Does anyone else have any experience with this they would be willing to share?
To those of you not in the states, we are unable to use red button or other such sites as they track the origin of your IP address and block access (the same reason I can't use BBC iPlayer) - I am willing to give any and all suggestions a shot though as I only have a week or so before the season starts. I'm trying to find some open proxy servers that will allow me to get around this restriction.
I looked into the proxy server thing last year and as far as I remember it seems that it would slow things down so much that video would be unwatchable. So what are the options on TV or is there a website that does allow live viewing without jumping through hoops?
Thanks
Paul
