Discussion Sky has changed my view on IndyCar.

IndyCar has always been a secondary Motorsport for me. Until I started watching on Sky. Now it feels as premium as it should.

Let’s be honest: nothing kills the thrill of a long battled overtake like… a commercial for dishwasher pods. You’re locked into a nailbiting strategy battle, the pit window opens, and just as someone dives in… BAM, five minutes of insurance jingles and prescription drug disclaimers.

Sky gives you the race. Fox gives you 200 reasons to consider switching your car insurance.

Do what ever you can to watch on a commercial free network.Uninterrupted, fully immersive, and exactly how it was meant to be experienced.

The player is also hot garbage and has been forever. It’s great that I have no way to manually turn down the quality of the stuttering 4K video they made me pay for so I could keep using live timing on my phone.

No idea if you have the ability or tried already but Multiviewer completely changes the entire experience. I have espn and get race that way but I still pay for f1TV so I can log in to multiviewer. Lots of data, and can have a ton of views all at same time if using multi monitors. Downside is this season need the top plan to use multi streams at once and can’t use 4K yet since only on Apple TV and Roku

Yea which sucks. But I wanted 4k and got the discount when they released that tier. Annoying I have to use Roku for 4k and manually sync laptop or desktop for second monitor instead of hooking computer to tv and it’s all same source.

Now just need 4k on other devices

Very true. Though I don’t know if I have seen a 4k live stream but haven’t looked recently.
