So am I going to have to subscribe to AppleTV then? That has to be more than the cost of F1 Premium.

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 months ago

F1 TV is $95 a year, Apple TV is $99 if you pay in advance, or $13/mo. So pretty similar actually. Although that's current pricing, Apple has 3 months to bump the price or something shitty like that. F1 TV only worked on like 3 devices, one of which was Apple TV. This might actually improve their Linux compatibility if it's now using Apple infrastructure.

Not a fan of centralizing content, but this doesn't look too bad for 2026.

If you have an iPad or an iPhone it is very easy to get F1TV for much cheaper via an Indian Apple account.

create an Indian Apple account.
Buy Apple credit in Rupees from https://amazon.in/amazonpay/home (under Recharge & Bills => See All)
logout of “Media and Purchases” in your Apple account settings in the iOS settings
login with the Indian account
go to the AppStore to redeem the credit
use an Indian address you can find on Google maps
go to the F1TV app and subscribe
if the subscribe options doesn’t show up. You need to use a VPN to the UK. PrivadoVPN has a free tier
you need to sub to the monthly TV Access tier and then upgrade to Pro or Premium in the iOS settings where you manage the subscriptions.

Edit: here is proof that it works. This is my sub to F1TV, I don’t live in India and my iPhone is registered to a Dutch Apple account yet I’ve only paid 3649 INR which is 42 USD for Premium.

It’s not if you’re paying monthly. I swear everyone likes to just complain. Sure big company bad but I don’t know why everyone is so mad about Apple having the streaming rights

[–] voytrekk@sopuli.xyz 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If my costs go up, then I have a right to complain.

I'm really just trying to figure out how I am supposed to watch F1 in the future. I have until August of next year to find out if it is worth it to sign up for AppleTV to continue watching F1.

A simple DuckDuckGo search would tell you want you need to know… although I did already tell you. Mostly I was referring to the many people saying “time for piracy” when I don’t understand how espn is any different/better than Apple except that their app is absolute fucking dogshit
