On visiting the ITV webshite, I got millions of warning boxes come up saying 'false' in them. On streaming the video. Yes, it streams, like I'm on dialup. In actual fact, I'm connected at 7617K on an uncontended ADSL Max line. Gawd knows what people on contended and/or slower connecitons must be getting...!! |

Does anyone remember those 'slow motion' control pads you could get for the SNES and the like that provided slow motion by hitting the pause button dozens of times a second? That's what this video stream looks and sounds like!

Maybe they should just take it down or at least cut the sound input. It's just embarrassing. It's like watching a youtube video, in the wrong resolution, on a 36k modem. |

No, you can't say that. It is ITV who are showing it, not formula1.com. So I wouldn't go around slating F1 for this, as that is incorrect. |

i was making the comparision between websites really the streams that Indycar.com and NASCAR.com show are straight from ESPN/ABC/FOX or Indy's own camera's just the same as formula 1 does with ITV F1 doesn't own ITV, NASCAR.com etc doesn't own ESPN etc!! so get off your high horse and sit back down laddo, i was simply making a comparison get less defensive |

ITV main site is now down LOL.
It looks like they've really underestimated how many people would be watching, their little server must be working overtime

If you're talking about the highlights (I wasn't awake to see the live feed) this link works perfectly: http://www.itv-f1.com/VideoHighlights.aspx |

I'm bumping this (and will continue to do so periodically) so I don't have to continue to search around for it in future. Seeing as it contains the link to the highlights and thus will be useful for everyone, I trust the admins won't mind. |

I'm led to believe that today's efforts were even worse. With the first two races being early in the morning only the die hard fans were up to watch and make use of it. Now more casual/less crazy die hard fans are watching its even worse. ITV have made such a hash of it its quire laughable. If they only provided highlights then perhaps people would have been pleased. It was more than was previously offered and yet it doesn't over stretch their servers. As it is now people are getting another thing to beat their service with. |

Not exactly a lot of incentive to improve it now either. |
