Your broadcast times are off by 1 hour...................early.

So I guess this is an indicator of how NBC is going to be this year... First F1 broadcast and there's a basketball game instead of it airing. GG?

Not even some big teams, like TENNESSEE!!!

Not a bad little show.

Friday, Nov. 15
Austin practice No. 2, 2 p.m., delayed air on NBCSN (re-airs at midnight)

Saturday, Nov. 16
Austin qualifying, 6:30 p.m.,delayed air on NBCSN (re-airs at 11 p.m.)
WTF???..our home race ? quals are not live?

Red and Bobby probably want us there, live, renting an RV spot...

I think you will be able to watch the missing qually and practices live online through NBC Sports Network's online offering (which is supposed to show all sessions live). If you get the channel on cable, then just get the password and user name or email or whatever you use from your cable company and you will be able to plug it in and watch online - or so they say.

We'll see. But if I'm streaming it I might as well just "buy" a stream from Sky or BBC with commentary

edit: However, lack of commentary might be cool if the quality is nice and HD like last years ^_^

DeLuxx
I reckon it's UT football.

Judging from the 2012 season, there's likely to be Ivy League and/or Mountain West Conference games airing on NBCSN that afternoon.

edit: originally mentioned Harvard-Yale, but that's on the following weekend.

@jonpollak:

Thanks for the complete schedule. I am going to print that.

One improvement over last year. Fox put four races on the main network, but time shifted them to Noon in the Central Time Zone, I don't know when they ran elsewhere. This created a problem for me if there was an early afternoon IndyCar race. At least they are putting the first broadcast on live.

Just realized no P3... meh. Better than nothing I guess, eh?

If you have NBCSN on your cable/satellite package you can watch P1 & P3 on-line.
See my first post in this thread.

In other news..Some tweeks in the broadcast schedule which includes NBCSN IndyCar airings.

Thanksies. Don't see any overlaps so thats good xD

Everything is better than expected; so far ...

It looks good.... better than Speed, but that wasn't difficult.

Glad to see you here, Conosur - it looks like keeping up with the puzzle of scheduling is going to be mess. Thanks to JP for the whole thing.

Having said all of that - I just checked to see if I even have "NBC Sports Network", which I do (never paid any attention to it), but...

.. my tv guide says "F1 Countdown" is coming on at 3:00 a.m. (2 hours from now)......?



/ scared that DVR programming catastrophes lie ahead

Record it, it was a nice little countdown thingy.

Thanks, man... It looks as though even NBC programmers can't figure out how to compensate for DST, as has been pointed out in an earlier post. Çést la vie.

This schedule should be the last one with any sort of time discrepancies. I suppose I could go back and edit it, but...

Amen to Jp.

Indeed, I set my DVR to record the countdown programme and got some car-hunters thing that was supposed to have just finished.
Hopefully the silly beggars have put their clocks forward now.

So it looks like I may need to move all of my DVR scheduled recordings?

Only if you scheduled them manually by time, versus title.

BOOm!

Great. Lets get to racing!

Well I set mine by title, and the programme description was F1 countdown - but the description didn't match the content.
Either NBC or my comcast box hadn't set their alarm and put the clock forward, will check if it's back in line tonight.

Reprogram for anything F1-related, or program each listing individually, but don't go by the original schedule I posted.

One may have to actually check the local listings to be sure. DVRs aren't exactly the be-all/end-all of recording devices. Never trust a machine with semi-brains.

Nothing beats informed human input.

Finally got NBCSports. It's an extra $10 a month. Oh well It's gotta be better than Speedtvs coverage right? No more getting bumped for lame ass Nascar or Pinks, or Chop Cut, or Ray 'the slurper ' Dunlap, or Mikey Waltrip,or Kenny Wallace etc. Bye bye Speed .......

Just curious ISOT...
What's your TV set up?
IE: cable/sat and who is your provider?
$10 per month ain't bad for both F1& IndyCar.
Jp

I wish I had seen this topic before upgrading my Comcast subscription to get SpeedTV (specifically for F1) NBCSN was in my basic package (I think)... Anyway at least now I get to watch the EPL.

Thanks to those who have posted schedule information!

*cough* Lets not tell him that Speed TV is being abolished in a few months *cough*

DISH NETWORK It also included H2, FOXSOCCER,VH-1CLASSIC,BEIN, and a few others I'll watch so I'm happy ...for now...

Same boat here, but only one phone call complaining about the rates got me another $15 off a month (my contract is up) with no new contract.... so Im saving $5 more and have the higher tier package (Americas Top 250).

Fortunately there are other channels in the sport package that I'm actually interested in so the consequences of my stupidity are limited

Lucky.


I'm just happy that some of the races will be on NBC, Free HD Here for basic channels. Aww hyeahahhahh

My DVR apparently is non-functional. Set it to record - nothing. It's only half-full.

It would seem I'm doomed to spend an hour in line at Comcast to debate the issue with a "technician". Ahrghhh..

"If we can call you back within 30 minutes to enjoy a tirade of abuse, press 1; if not press 2"
Time is back in synch now and it recorded properly on the second attempt. Looks a bit better than Speed, though I still think 'Obbs sounds like Mr Punch having a bad trip. He's also challenging Brundle on the no-doubt-about-it-ometer.

Anyone know where exactly we stream it from? I tried searching for it on the website and couldn't find it.

Same. I can't find it online. I tried downloading their NBC Sports Live Extra app, but F1 is not listed anywhere inside it.

Have you sent me the $67.75?
Doesn't look like it.

I'm having a hard time finding the source url for the live stream. All I can find is this link saying it will stream live:

", and, later this year, it will live stream both circuits on NBC Sports Live Extra via TV Everywhere."

I don't think they have started it yet. I also think they are just replicating their TV channel so it wouldn't be on now anyway.

SpeedTV never showed FP1 live on television, and I recall somewhere saying that NBCSN was doing the same. But looking at my Comcast menu, I see that before the live FP2, there is a showing of F1 practice, which I assume is FP1.

You're right, SPEED streamed 1 and 3. Tonight FP1 is taped delayed and FP1 and FP2 are back to back.

Early thoughts?

For a first broadcast it could be a lot worse. It doesn't bother me that much that it isnt live all of the time... and that there are no streams or anything... i just wish they had an nbc timing app or something on their site... at least for their tape delays... because their broadcast doesnt run in realtime, screwing up other timings and laps; but i digress......

Apart from random FOM pre season glitches...and not having it in HD, im quite impressed... looking forward to see how much they can run with the resources they have.

FP1 has on-screen graphics for 4:3 screens

Come on NBC, it's 2013!

I was wondering why it was more over to the right, lol.

The ratio is pretty crap, haha. Meh, i'm sure over time they'll adapt to it... But all of NBCsports are like that... its the only channel i know that has hockey at 4:3...

Anyone know who is commentating on TSN during FP right now (in Canada). I don't recognize them. It's not DC/Ben Edwards or Brundle or the speed tv crew :S.

It is BBC I think because Gary Anderson is one of the pit reporters.

Edited by SUPRAF1, 15 March 2013 - 05:48.

Luckyyy

FOM provide two feeds: one with graphics for 16:9; and one with inset graphics for 4:3. NBC is broadcasting both their SD and HD signals in 16:9, yet they've chosen to use the 4:3 package from FOM leaving the graphics in the middle of the screen on both my HD and SD televisions. Very ameteurish from a broadcaster who knows how to provide great veiwing.

Hopefully, they'll fix this by switching to the 16:9 graphics feed before qualifying.

It seems NBC Sports Network has renegged on their intent to air all sessions and will only air the same programming as Speed had done: P2, Qualifying and the Race.

Next up is Malaysia, and Bernie has made sure no one east of the Rockies will be watching it live, as it's on in the middle of the night.
