Help me out fellow Canucks. We have just moved into the city, and I'm trying to figure out this new fangled streaming stuff. We were on satellite TV, and would PVR the races, which here on the west coast run in the middle of the night. I subscribed to TSN, and just missed the Belgian Grand Prix, because as far as I can make out, I can only get the race live as a TSN stream, which is useless to me. I have zero interest in TSN other than for F1 .  What do other Canadian fans do for F1 coverage?

There are 5 tsn channels, so you need the whole package.  They show Sky sports fp2, pre quali show, quali, pre race, race and post race live.  Sadly, you never know for sure which of the five channels it's on.  Even with my dvr absolutely full of requests, I still muss the odd thing.

As far as streaming, I'm too old to deal with that E36 M3.

I can see all 5 channels, I just can't watch them any way except live (i.e. in the middle of the night).

Upgrade your box.  Everybody offers dvr.

And, 6am is not the middle of the night.laugh

The Rogers package I have includes the 5 TSN channels which I only have to watch F1.  My pvr is set to record any shows that include "F1" in the title, so each race I get the full set that Streetwise listed

What about https://f1tv.formula1.com/

If you want to stream it legally here this is the answer and I what I do (I'm in Ontario). The coverage is great, you can watch the race live as well as all of the individual drivers onboard  cameras with almost live, uncensored radio between that driver and their garage (always fun to listen to Max when something isn't going his way). You can stream the races anytime too so if you miss the live broadcast no big deal (that include the onboards as well). For commentary you can listen to theirs or the Sky feed, you won't get the Sky pre/post race stuff though (I miss Brundle's grid walks sometimes).

Does youtube TV carry it in Canada?  That's how I stream it here in the US.

I haven't used the official stream recently, but the last time I tried it (a few years ago) it was missing critical features like being able to start watching late-but-before-its-over.  If the race was still going on then you had to go with the live stream, no "DVR" feature.
