Nope. I install deivers only. I don't even have Fraps or anything like that. The stupid thing is that you don't need any software installed. You can record video in windows 11 using WIN+SHIFT+S.
I'm watching on my phone now instead, but that is even easier to record video on so the entire premise of what they're doing is flawed.

It's so stupid, there's literally nothing they can do to stop people capturing video as long as capture cards exist, all they're doing is harming legitimate customers.
There, fixed that for you.
It doesn't do anything to protect their intellectual property. The people that record it for piracy don't typically use software, they use a cheap external capture card along with a device to circumvent HDCP. Some HDMI splitters can actually circumvent HDCP by accident which is what I used to record old footage on a PS3.
Having that or snipping tool open, even if just with a previous collected snip in the background, will trigger these warnings IME
Sure there's always a way but simple steps like this go some way to making it difficult.
Not really. It does nothing in the grand scheme of things. It seems more of a box ticking exercise to justify someone’s massive bonus. All whilst being blind to the actual issue. And the net result is it frustrates the end user.

Exactly.
The people who upload and host the streams will not be bothered by this at all.
Reminds me of lovefilm and blu ray ripping software. Good times!

So they just shouldn’t take any steps at all to protect their IP?
If there's literally nothing you can do to protect it, then no you shouldn't harm legitimate customers just so you can tick a box to say you tried, they're actually just encouraging piracy by doing so. For example I can't get Prime video in 4K on PC because some brain-dead higher ups decided it would make it easier to record, so they lost a legitimate paying customer.

Just heard the chain on the radio.
Went looking for the intro

I never said that. They shouldn’t take steps to disable legitimate customers from viewing content.
I`ve started watching after subscribing to F1TV this year after ditching Sky. The Multiviewer app allows you to display loads more data, being able to see the microsectors in Qually for example, or sector times for every driver not just the ones on screen has really improved my viewing experience.
What a relief ! Not having Crofty shouting at me every race.
He was spoiling my enjoyment of the races last year to be honest. They were dull enough, but him screaming at me about the `old switcheroo` when it was simply the team asking the car the was due to stop to let the teammate fresh out of the pits pass was a personal favourite

I don`t believe I can discuss ways of watching it in the UK on this forum ?
I bought a legitimate device and subscription to allow watching of geolocked streams. It requires subscription to the service being viewed, ie F1TV or Netflix, it`s not a dodgy stream or anything like that, but I don`t want to get banned for being any more specific. Sorry.

And Sky staff watch this thread - and they're doing everything they can to maintain their cash cow monopoly - so the less said, the better.
Not asking for illegal ways to watch but I think you answered my question which was that F1TV is still highlights only in UK due to the Sky monopoly.

What’s with Natalie, Naomi and Karun being in some AR studio rather than at the circuit this weekend? They also seem to be keeping quite some distance between them.
