    Cannot stand Diffey and Matchett. They provide zero insight. Literally a waste of space. "Go fast day"... Really? FFS!

    So the stupidest thing.

    I recorded the replay of the Indy race and when I ran it, it was instead-- the Canadian GP.

    How effed up can one network be?

    But it was not on their website. Only 10 minutes of highlights. Stupid.

    NBC was a blessing. I ended up downloading SkyTV's coverage. Next time I'm unable to watch a race live I know where I'm going..

    Guys......
    So for my NBC experience, coverage was preempted by NBC News about the Orlando shooting.....however, 30 laps in I realized it had been moved to CNBC due to this. So I watched and finished the race via CNBC.

    But for all of you other people who seem to have no idea that the NBC Sports app exists, please feel free to educate yourselves. :) They have all replays available there for about a week.....P1, P2, P3, Q and Race.

    Diffy is not that good, I sure miss Varsha to be sure. Hobbo is hilarious and I've always loved Matchett. He's a great guy and a great journalist. I always liked Peter Windsor too even though he constantly talked about Hitco vs Brembo vs AP brakes. haha...

    Not sure what your issue is. I stream it all the time. I've even streamed it internationally via VPN.

    In my area, NBC scheduled it, however due to the shooting massacre in Florida, all news was diverted toward that incident.

    NBC Sports carried it live from beginning to end, so I just watched it there as I always do.

    Actually the whole race is still on their website. Don't know for how much longer though.

    Happened to me also. I had inadvertently set recording of the F1 races in Spanish and those always get recorded. So I watched one and discovered they don't show COMMERCIALS! I have been watching that ever since. Sure I can't understand what they are saying but it makes more sense than the other guys...

    Well, the next two races are on CNBC, so I'll be watching the SkySports feed.

    My cable provider has the races available online to subscribers. Maybe you could look into that.

    Just so everybody (US viewers, at least) knows: Austria will be live on CNBC, not NBCSN.

    You have to set the DVR for "any channel" to prevent this. Burned me last year. Once I made the switch it's been fine but very frustrating.

    Last night I set my comcast DVR to record the race on CNBC and this morning when I wake up and play it back it's the Spanish version from channel 584. If I direct tune into that channel it says it's a subscription channel. I have no idea how that even happened. I switched over to CNBC and only missed the first 3 laps
