Formula 1's streaming service F1 TV Pro has not exactly had the smoothest of starts to life, it would be fair to say. With more territories set to be added in time for the start of preseason testing, action got under way on Monday, but several new customers were still left disappointed…
Thank you @F1 - Paid for #F1TVPRO to watch tests in Barcelona - You said thank you for the money, and rewarded me with absolutely nothing. It says that Denmark is not an supported region - All though it is. #fixitnow????????

So, this is a complete disgrace from the F1 TV Pro front. We paid for the sub, we were told we were going to have LIVE FEED from the track, but we're still getting the 'unsupported region' message.
Even WRC Live tried to solve its problems, and its way more difficult.@F1Help

I was now able to subscribe to F1 TV pro (it did not re-direct me to access page due to pro not available), but when I want to watch the stream, it still says I'm not in a supported region. ????

@F1 It's all fun and games but I can't watch the testing even if I have a F1 TV Pro subscription, because of error region in spite of your website says I should have access. Guess pirate streams are the solution even if you pay to be legal.

Problem is that now that I have subscribed (yearly @ € 64,99) it still says F1 TV Pro is not available in my country (NL).
@F1 I subscribed to F1 TV Pro but can't watch the live stream: You are currently in an unsupported region. I am in the Netherlands and Ziggo customer...
