hello all

anybody can share the best way to watch F1 legally?

i've surveyed the followings.

1) subscribe astro sports rm82 per month
but seems too expensive just to watch F1

2) subscribe Sooka VIP+Sports RM42 per month.
can cancel anytime, but cannot watch on TV. i use Xiaomi TV and dont have Sooka app

3) upgrade unifi tv to ultimate pack (from my current Aneka pack)
dont know how much is the price, and likely will come with 2 years contract which i'm trying to avoid

anybody knows any legal way to watch F1 can share here?

You can directly subscribe to beIN. I think its RM20/month if not mistaken, there should be an app for Android TV.

Could you subscribe to Sooka and then mirror cast it to your smart tv instead?
Otherwise can just see what beIN has for offer

i just checked, BeIN Malaysia will redirect back to Astro
so, no direct subscription to BeIN for us

ya, can chromecast back to TV from Sooka app in my phone, but hmm, quality might not be good this way

actually both astro and tm comes with bein. Tm comes with viu and bein app. Astro is about rm110 for basic sports + golf. Tm is rm60 for everything.

I have tm already, hence reluctant to get astro

Tm meanwhile, i worry if upgrade my tv package, it will comes with 2 years contract

Sorry, necro this thread abit

I don't see the F1 races in Astro schedule
Even when looking on the BEIN channels
Is BEIN Connect the only option this year?
*
Seems that way, it means also theres no F1 in sooka

Anyway, how to subscribe beIn connect?

So, now don't know if it'll charge me RM189.90 or RM229 (as mentioned by slaveone), after 10 March.

Guys, how does this work? How many devices can watch? Is it worth it? Confirm Astro do not have?
*
I think can stream from 1 device only at the same time.

I tried watching on tv, ipad and handphone.
Connection seems okay and stable. At least for me
