So I'm airplaying it from my iPad to my AppleTV. Looks pretty good.
I really like the radiolemans guys. they are just really really good at the commentary
Fk this. The app is so unstable. It crashes at least once an hour.

Every facebook status update made by IMSA today has been lit up by fans tearing into them for their arrangement with Fox Sports. Lots of pissed off folks.

Man, what a finish. Pipo is masterful! Congrats to Jeff Segal and his team, Ashley Freiberg and her team as well as AJR. Great racing.

Still not sure why the feed worked. They were pretty clear about blocking it inside the US. Seems they can't get that right either.
From their FB page "the IMSA.tv stream is only available for the full race outside of the U.S. FOX Sports GO is the exclusive live stream provider. FS1 Authentication gets the whole race."
And the commercials in the last 20 minutes were just egregious.
I paid the subscription to watch WEC online and I hesitate to say that might be the way to go here. As long as it's reasonable. And the app works. Like $20. Airplay from my ipad to the appletv to watch on the big screen actually worked really well except for the crashing. And the radiolemans commentary is much much better. I like our crew but the little factoids and the information the RLM guys give you about everything that's happening on track is head and shoulders above the regular broadcast crew. They mostly only talk about what's on screen and rarely update you on the other classes. RLM seems to do a ton of research on every car, team and driver and it shows.
I will say I am happy to see the LMP2 car win. Again DP's are stupid junk.

The IMSA Radio guys are SO much better at announcing the race.
If IMSA offered a paid service to stream that feed, I'd pay it. Hell I coughed up the $6 for one month on PrivateInternetAccess.com so I could stream it.

It worked for me. The feed dropped every now and then, but I'm not sure if that's IMSA, the VPN, or me. Likely me because I noticed once I logged into the router and kicked my wife and son's iPhones off the wi-fi, the feed stayed up. I think between the HD stream coming down from IMSA.tv (on my Wi-Fi), plus then streaming HD BACK to my TV via AppleTV (also on the Wi-Fi), plus wife and son both futzing on the internet (and son burning through YouTube) I ran out of bandwidth in the house.

Agree that IMSA radio announcers are great.

Glad it worked
