Getting the F1 on Du TV
Discussion

For the amount Du charge for TV they should send David Coulthard to my living room for a lap by lap analysis!
I agree, the biggest issue is that they charge the extra mostly because they also carry hundreds of football matches in English.... of zero interest to me... I basically pay 450 AED a year to watch F1 !!I am lucky cause the satellite in our building gets the German RTL channel who show F1 (always used to watch it on the same channel when I was living in Germany). This way I only need to pay for my internet and landline connection each month.
You can also watch the race live http://www.firstrow1.eu/ . Usually the BBC coverage is streamed (which for the past 3 years meant busting Schumis balls).

Same question but for Etisalat (which is absolutely s
te, so no doubt the answer is also no...!)
The BBC iplayer 'highlights' is 2 hours long so that must have most of the race, only problem is my macbook has just packed in, and it won't download to my ipad.
Channel number 508 - Abu Dhabi Sports 6, Looking at the Etisalat site it's an optional package at 37AED per month.te, so no doubt the answer is also no...!)The BBC iplayer 'highlights' is 2 hours long so that must have most of the race, only problem is my macbook has just packed in, and it won't download to my ipad.
I subscribe to both AD sports and Jazeera as well for Champions League and England games.
Way I look at it is that its the equivalent of 2 pints and it keeps me out of the pub or at least makes me go the pub less!
My internet struggles to cope with streaming with a VPN on. filmon.con is worth a look for streaming live TV with needing to use a VPN

Sadly it shows nothing as BEIN Sports now have the rights to F1 in the Middle East until 2019, they seem to have the rights for everything now.
Hmm, guess I'll have to switch from AD sports to BEIN then. BEIN is one of the sports packages on DU but it says nothing about the F1 coverage. dxbtiger said:
My BeIN Sports 12 guide says the F1 is on now.
It's actually Men's gymnastics, I know the rules have changed a bit but this is frankly ridiculous.
Quali is 10 am tomorrow apparently, lets see..
Spoke to DU on the phone and they were clueless, asked him if they are showing the F1 and he told me to check google. Apparently BEIN might be showing it, so i have switched from AD Sports to BEIN and if it doesn't at least i'll have the football.It's actually Men's gymnastics, I know the rules have changed a bit but this is frankly ridiculous.
