Has anyone qho has watched via NOW tv for the F1, have any deals gone out i.e. reduction to £20 PM for 6 months of a year.

I usually use this method to watch however im not paying £35 a month when you cant record, pause and on demand is quite delayed.

£20 is fine for me but £35 is a bit stiff, so always on the lookout.

I forgot to cancel it last year, and they randomly sent me an email that it was going up to 23 from 20 - so I went to cancel and after saying cancel on 15 different screens they eventually offered me 6 months at 17.99.

Normally the 9 months for 20 quid offers pop up around pre season testing when they start ramping up the pre season advertising.

Check out the F1 TV app or whatever. I know in the UK we can't get the full hit of streams and things. But a cheap VPN purchase solves that.

I managed to get about 3 years of Nord VPN for about £30 and then the full F1 sub was about 80-90. Split over 24 races it's not bad.

I watch on now TV and have used similar deals - they normally mail you right before the season starts - so expect something in a couple of weeks.

I saw in my spam folder I'd got 6 month offer mid Jan, but I think last year I got the 10 month deal just at testing time, so I'll keep an eye out.

Juat got a 19.99 for 12 months offer which I think I'll be taking as it covers the darts at Christmas and a few other things that i;ll watch if I have them.

That's the one I'm waiting for, £26 for 6 months is the best they're offering me at the moment.

It's the additional £6 Boost (for HD) which sticks in my throat, so it's really £26/month for F1. I don't really want to fart around with VPNs, but it's tempting, just to stick it to the man!

This also grinds my gears. What TV sold in the last 10 years wasn't HD? It's £26 not £20. Still more fool me because I'll probably pay it.

Colleague of mine streams everything illegally somehow, I don't have any real issues with this other than I couldn't be bother figuring it out. I find the easier route is just to begrudgingly fork my money over.

Same here, I have a Roku based TV with the Now app natively built in to it, I really can't be bothered with VPNs or similar, I just want to turn on and go.

I got an email a few weeks ago for 3 months at a quid a month, so took it up and hopefully they will offer it again when I cancel at 3 months!

It’s £26 a month for 6 months, then it goes back to £34.99 plus the £6 a month rip off for “boost”. So to watch the whole season on NowTV (10 months, Mar-Dec) it’s more like £32 a month.

No one pays full price for it surely? You wait for the deals to come, take it up, and once the offer comes to an end go to cancel and they normally offer it you again for a bit longer.

Same with Boost. Last year they kept giving it me for 3 quid a month. This year they have given it me for a quid a month and 17.99 for Sports.

I cancelled at the end of last season, and ignored the continue offer. To be fair, it's the same price as last year so no real change. Perhaps I should cancel boost after the first month then see what they offer...

That's what I have and it works very well. Has lots of archive & of course full F2 coverage.

Yea, I caved a subbed at £19.99 w/ one month free boost. Must remember to "cancel" the boost at the end of the month, so they offer it for £1 for a few months.

I was moaning on another sub about needing to tune in on time for the races, or catch the re-run without seeing the result, as the on demand stream usually takes an annoyingly long time to become available. I would however miss being able to stick on the practise sessions and the F2/F3 races on my WFH days.

How long after the race/qualifying does the on demand normally take to become available?
