The red lights will go out already this Saturday and the first F1 race of the 2024 season will start. Sport 1 and Sport 2 will not be broadcast here, as we have been used to for the past 10 years, but F1 is returning to Nova, specifically to the new channel Nova Sport 5. The joke is in that at this moment, i.e. just three days before the start of practice for the F1 Grand Prix in Bahrain, the only option to watch the Nova Sport 5 broadcast in the Czech Republic is via O2 or Skylink. In Slovakia, using O2 or Voyo.
And Voyo is the easiest and cheapest way to get F1 in Czech, i.e. with Czech commentary. But beware, Nova Sport 5 and Nova Sport 6 will only be offered by Voyo.sk, i.e. the Slovak version of Voyo. So if you don't have Skylink or O2 and you only want F1 with Czech commentary, then the cheapest option is to buy a subscription to Voyo.sk, which costs €5,99 per month and you can use it in the Czech Republic too! The price at the current rate is CZK 150 per month, and the subscription, in addition to Sport 5 and Sport 6, also offers everything on Voyo.
From my own experience, I can say that the content of Voyo CZ and Voyo SK is 90% identical and differs only in things such as Street series and the like. Other films and series are equally available on both versions. If you are not interested in Czech or Slovak commentary for F1, then the best way is F1 TV Pro, but it costs the same as Voyo. On the other hand, it offers an extreme number of options, where you can, for example, watch the entire race from only one single seat or switch between them at will. So it depends on you whether the comment from Pepa Krále and Štěv Eisele is essential for you.
If I pay CZ Voyo, I guess I'm out of luck, huh?
Unfortunately, they didn't announce then that it should be there, and it probably won't be, just training starts on Thursday :(
I wrote on Voyo CZ. Their answer was to the effect that CZ and SK users are different, so they do not plan to import to CZ. In addition, as far as I know, it should only be on SK for 2 months as part of testing and then it will be canceled there as well.
Terrible, so I'm unlucky this year. I'm not going to pay them any more money.
quite honestly pay for it skylink where it miniIt costs at least 400 CZK per month, definitely. nestoh comment in Czech…. that's 5000CZK per year… F1 Pro TV costs 50€ or 1250CZK per year
Price of F1 TV Pro €59,99 = CZK 1521

Greetings to all F1 fans in both our republics!
Without previous experience with the Voyo.sk service, I tried the current offer, which includes formulaic content from the station Nova Sport 5. Registration, a monthly fee of €5,99 and installation of applications on a tablet and on a Smart TV, all without a single problem. Initially, I communicated with the support regarding the unavailability of the option to replay past training sessions in the 7-day archive, but they also flexibly made this (originally unplanned functionality) operational during the afternoon. All this based only on the interest of the users - such an approach is not often seen anymore. In addition, the support was willing to answer my questions/requirements. All in all, a definite thumbs up for me, it's just a shame that České Voyo didn't come up with the same offer. For the described price, the complete VC F1 service, with an old-new professional quartet of commentators 👍, should be available in this way throughout this season, which - with the addition of other content of the video platform itself (mostly in the Czech language mutation) - is a great option for a price-acceptable solution watching the broadcasts of the queen of motorsport with the new holder of broadcasting rights in these parts.
I am surprised by the possibility of playback in the archive 7 days back on the VOYO SK, because I assume that it is the same application as in the Czech Republic, where this is not possible. I talked about this topic with a colleague who lives in SK and he looked at me like a revelation and told me that there is no such possibility. There is NOVA SPORT 5 and 6", but only with access to live broadcasts. So if this is really possible, I would like to know how to access this function in the application.
Well, I'll solve it via F1 TV PRO, because as a customer of Vodafone CZ I probably won't get it.
In addition, for that money there are onboards of all drivers, Team radio and F2, F3 and Porsche Supercup
well, after watching hockey, skiing, where everything was bought by commercial stations, we stop watching F1 in Slovakia. too bad, we'll find other activities.
It is interesting, for example, in hockey that marquise bought the rights to the WC and the league from ZSĽH because they gave a better price than public television, so ordinary mortals will not watch hockey anymore.
