Hello all.
I’ve just moved to South Korea. Korean TV does not show F1 live (as far as I know). At least not terrestrial.
Apart from the iffy and non-English justin.tv, are there any pay-per-stream live F1 websites on the internet? Does Eurosport or anything like that show F1 for a subscription? I could probably download the race a few hours after it happens, but I’d rather watch it live, especially with the timezone differences (F1 will be on around 10pm on Sunday evenings…..perfect!).
Many thanks,
Keir

Like matt88 said, your best bet is to follow the live blogs where people like myself post any decent streams that we find.

19th August 2010, 22:47 at 10:47 pm #143603SoLiDGParticipantBBC site does it all live… but you have to be from within UK… or prentend that you are. (meaning use a UK proxy server)
20th August 2010, 10:22 at 10:22 am #143604EnigmaParticipant@SoLiDG how can that be done? I’ve tried many different things and I’ve only watched one race live on BBC :(

The quality is as good as You can get on the TV, if Your bandwidth is large enough. But beware, You will exceed 10 Gbit of data download a month, if You watch both the qualifying and the races, so get an internet connection with flat rate.
I live in Denmark and use a Strong VPN (www.strongvpn.com/)to watch the races, except this coming weekend – I’ll be present at the track in Spa;-)
Strongvpn has a very good support to guide You through the setup with chat support etc. It is working very well, but be sure to get the right type of solution – ask their support.

Interesting service but with SPEED available and also the patchy streaming I will stay without BBC streaming via services such as Strong VPN.
