Same here.

I got this message
You've reached the maximum number of concurrent streams on your account.
To watch F1 TV on this device, please stop watching on one of your other devices

Same thing here

I am glad that I have purchased monthly subscription because I do not intend to continue using F1 TV after this month runs out until they get their act together. I thought, after they postponed the launch of this service for almost two months, that they would have it up and running smoothly from the start. I was wrong and as a paying customer am really disappointed

I've tried that chat thing down there and it says that there are 98 people in line. Yup. Definitely yearly subscription is out of option this year. plus we won't have any F2 streams this season.

It won't let me in today. Everything I click responds with - You need to have an F1 subscription to watch exclusive content grrrr

Did anyone honestly expect a smooth launch? It was obvious right from when FP1 of all sessions wouldn't work flawlessly how things will turn out for Q and R.

i can't get an image anywhere, guess I'll ask for my money back and subscribe again when they bring the service up to a certain standard... they definitely underestimated the requirements for this...

I expected this. Thats why I took monthly :D

I mean honestly, they cannot even fix tv graphics (gap intervals, cannot see time during quali from drivers in risk, when there is a SC you cannot see what lap it is and etc...)

I’m sure they’ll fix it but with commercial free ESPN I think I’m good till 2019, hopefully they’ll have it ironed out by then lol

Hello,

Thanks for recently subscribing to F1 TV Pro.

As you may know, we have experienced some live play-back issues during our coverage of practice and qualifying from the Spanish Grand Prix.

We want to apologise for the inconvenience caused and we’re working as quickly as we can to get these resolved for you. Unfortunately we do anticipate that the problems experienced during qualifying will not be resolved in time for the race.

Whilst we are experiencing some issues with the live video, you can still enjoy replays for all sessions including all on board cameras and unedited team radio, as well as Grands Prix from F1’s historic archive.

Because of the problems you’ve been experiencing, we will be refunding you the equivalent of two weeks of your subscription. This will happen next week and it will be paid onto the card you subscribed with so there’s nothing you need to do.

With this refund, the Grand Prix this weekend is on us.

Thanks for your patience and support.

The team at F1

Btw, when you are a serious company you look for a serious solution. What they have now is unforgivable, from the encoding part, through the software control/middlware and to the CDNs.

Just wanted to know how bad was this looking before the 1st race of the season.

My interest in F1 is what keeps me motivated to watch, else I would have gotten my money back after todays' qualy.
