Any chance of sharing what the fall-out was about because my subscription is also up for renewal.
Looking at all possible options.
I was planning to ask the same question, as I'm in the same position as Barry.
Pleng wrote:(@barrys re Sport365) Well their Android software is complete s***, but I put up with that because it was the only way I could see Formula 1, which is the only sport I watch with it. There was only 1 F1 race this month, which happened to be at the tail end of my renewal period and they didn't show Free Practice or the Qualifying session. I complained, they said they are just a reseller and have no control over the programming. I requested a refund on the month's fee, they declined on the grounds that there was only a couple of days left on this month's subscription. So I cancelled.
I don't know about the free practice, as I can't see that far back now, but Saturday's qualifying was scheduled. Was it cancelled by Astro? It seems a bit unfair to blame Sport365 for that...

Like everything else, of course, it's horses for courses. If F1 is the only sport you watch, there may well be better options available. For me, I can see all Premier League and European Championship football, a wide range of rugby, and enough tennis, F1 or golf to suit me. The only grouse I have is that there is not enough cricket.

I don't need a box, as I only watch on my PC. Unless anyone knows of an option that is equally good or better at a lower price, I'll be quite happy to stick with 365.
This is the way

dtaai mai, Practice 1,2 and 2 and Saturday's qualifying were all scheduled on Fox Sports 2, the same channel the race ran on on Sunday. 365 Didn't broadcast any of them.

As for these watchgloabl guys, well what a farce so far! I eventually got a response to my query about subscribing without buying a box. They said I'd have to send my Android box to them to install the software. I replied saying that I wasn't going to send them my box and can't they just provide an apk and I got a response saying "Hey I'm not going to steal your box" (the thought had not really crossed my mind that they might), advising that they make most their money on selling the boxes and only a very little on the subscriptions and if I'm not willing to give them my box to install their software then they can't help me.
