A couple of my colleagues are doing a lot of work on F1's NDI solution.
All the footage currently routes from location to the NDI servers in Biggin Hill where the director can then piece them together.
And I think long-term, F1 may be looking to leverage the tech to deliver direct to the punter and bypass traditional broadcasters. But that's a ways down the line.
It does mean we've had guys in the office with multiple monitor set-ups getting feeds directly from the cars on occasion though

Yeah, they 100% will want to go direct to customer, but I don't know if they will be able to put the people behind it like they have now. Martin Brundle, David Croft etc. But then if they are going all in, who knows?
I pay £45 (I think) for 350/100mbit. Don’t have a landline phone. £10 Netflix, £20 amazon music, £8 amazon kids and get Sky movies for free. It soon adds up.
Downloaded a COD patch and noticed it was at 470mbit.

Wowsers
512mbit is available where I am going but its £90 a month...Virgin though, rather than BT
I'm lucky enough to get fiber in my condo from one of the only providers in all of Canada that has its own infrastructure and doesn't sell your privacy and data to American corporations. $85/month for unlimited 500Mb up&down, no outages or throttling either, unlike other Canadian providers.

F1 doesn't have a streaming subscription? For MotoGP you can buy online subscriptions to get access to all sorts of live streams and historic footage.
Just watched HBO’s recent historical drama Catherine the Great, viewed the 4 episodes over two nights...
Really good. 8/10
Storyline
Amid scandal, intrigue and immense conflict, Russian empress Catherine the Great (Helen Mirren) develops a unique and devoted relationship with Grigory Potemkin (Jason Clarke) as they overcome their adversaries and serve as the architects of modern-day Russia.

Thanks for the reminder Κracus. I did see the shorts on TV just yesterday. Your post prompts me to look for it
Re: Currently watching..... on the TV
Me, a British. Welsh mini TV series called Keeping Faith.
Really captivating. I am just about start watching series 2 after the cliffhanger ending in series 1
Just finished that Welsh mini TV series called Keeping Faith, 2 seasons/14 episodes.
Really good!
The accent was a little hard to grasp at times but a rather good story line supported by descent acting make the show. Get a chance give it a go I say.
Re: Currently watching..... on the TV, my next is either The Looming Tower or The Man In The High Castle. I haven't decided as I type.

Going to have to give this one a few episodes I think
Did you read Entertainment Weekly's review? The reviewer watched the first two episodes, then skipped to the fifth episode (because, as he put it, life was too short to waste on it) and after only seeing those three episodes said the series was an utter turd.
Yeah, having read that, not sure why I bothered.
The only point they make that is worthwhile was also one that left me a bit uncomfortable: the amount of nudity in episode 5 was a bit gratuitous, and I found it undermined a lot of otherwise good narrative work and acting they'd put into Yennefer.
But all of their other complaints are addressed if you just watch the damn show. It's almost Memento-like in how it tells its tale backwards, with initially confusing events gradually being made clear over time.
On a tangent, has anyone else here watched the latest season of The Expanse?
So damned good, even if I knew the overarching plot going in thanks to having read the books.
This is the way adaptations should be done, adding new stuff for existing fans. Fleshing out Bobby's back-story and the political machinations on Earth during the Ilus incident was really cool, as well as introducing a key antagonist slightly earlier.
Can't wait for the next series!

I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I'm also aware that having loved the games and the world they came from, I'm probably more than a tad biased.
Same here. Watched the entire season and thought it was pretty damn good. A little confusing with the timelines as has been mentioned, but once I started to see what was going on it tied together nicely. Ready for season 2.
