Video quality is super impressive. Beats Sky Sports hands down.

When fullscreen, its cutting the bottom of the video off so you can't see timings or driver names etc.


 


Known issue. Will be addressed. Don't know when.

Cool all good, just reporting stuff as I see it, hear it or feel it. For the service to improve feedback is good right?

Yep, audio mix has gone back to what it was yesterday. 95/5 commentary over on track :(



Yeah it’s when they go to ads. They put up a banner, commentary pauses, engine sounds go, commentary restarts...and it continues like that until ads end and the sky sports banner comes back on.

Seen this before when on a pay feed instead of a boradcast feed.

And casting has stopped yet again, no errors or app crashes so do not know why!

I dunno. I'm kinda OK with it. Having the extra commentary while they are on an advert break I'm OK with.

Currently there is nothing I want to watch on SparkSport, until RWC.

 

I read that the RWC will be charged separately.

 

When the time comes, can you just pay the RWC charge, or will you have to pay for the base package as well?





Delete cookies?! Are you insane?!

So android app (Nokia 7,1 plus) is struggling to not crash constantly and / or cast.  Left it casting fine, went outside and came back in and the image on the tv was dim and stationary and the app wasn't running on my phone at all; have to kill it to start it up again.  There are no errors showing so I have no idea what is causing it but its happening quite frequently.  Happy to try and help pin down why but need some direction.

 

Just started the cast back up again and I'll see how long this lasts for.

I’ve had to do that once in this practice session (iOS to chromecast). Picture froze on chromecast. Had to go to google home app to stop it.

Maybe android to chromecast unreliable? But maybe that’s local setup. As I said before, I’ve had one glitch this whole session. I think it’s doing very well.

If its local then its a global issue BUT only affecting this app; happens on both my Shield TVs from this app but all other apps cast fine without trouble and do not have this issue.

i use android to chromecast every day using a couple different apps, its perfectly reliable. even after the Spark casting crapped out i immediately tried another app like youtube or plex and worked perfectly.

Hi, does the coverage also provide the F1 show from the Sky UK team?
