F1 Fanatic

People used to switch to RTL whenever our open signal TV channel went to comercial break, on those days…

Wait a second, aren’t they forbidden from doing that these days. I remember there was a EU adjudgement on football games which would logically extend to Formula 1. I would at least try it…

My TV provider haven’t got the BBC or sky and that’s why I have to watch it in RTL. But honestly I agree to @Girts ,because the covarage is good (with exceptions) ,they talk alot in practice sessions ,Qualifying and race,they have interviews and so on. And I like the fact that they are walking into teams garages and talk there. The only problem is that you can’t understand a bloddy thing as it is in german.
About the commercials? Mainly I have method of my own – I watch the race on RTL,but I have already lounched an online stream ,so when it comes to commercials, I watch the race online ,so I don’t miss nothing. Sometimes the english streams aren’t avalable,but for those 3 minutes it’s nothing,main thing you see all the action.

If you find the radio audio is out of sync with the video then there’s a couple of things you can do depending on which which is ahead.

If you find the audio is ahead, get yourself a digital DAB radio. Not only does DAB have its own delay over medium-wave that might resolve it on its own, if you get one with an ability to pause live radio (My Pure DAB calls this ReVu) you can simply pause the audio for 1 or 2 seconds to bring it back in time with the video. This is what I’ve done the past couple of years to have the 5live commentary in sync with the BBC1 TV feed

If the video is ahead then hopefully your set-top-box has a recording option. If it does you should be able to play it while its recording so its a few seconds behind ‘live’
