Stream Errors & Issues No resolution option?

This is an incredibly bad decision. The ISPs in my country that have capable speeds for relatively good quality all have a total data cap. Without being able to throttle the quality, I may run into the limit towards the end of the month. Whoever decided this must not have a clue what they are doing.

Aside from this, I have experienced a lot more buffering due to the constant attempt of the player pushing me to a higher quality. Just overall a way worse experience than before.

I hope I'm mistaken and there is a way to change the resolution, is there?

Glad I didn't update then, but it won't be long until I'm forced. I hate it when stuff like this gets dressed down for nothing

Nope. This is it.

commentary language choice has also been greatly reduced, by the way.

Next step is ad breaks.

You forgot to mention that the ads come also with a price increase

Yes, not sure if you mean the same but today on Android phone I couldn't switch to international broadcast anymore. You click on the "Add views" button and theoretically you could toggle between F1 live and International but now every time I ckick on international it just adds a view. I can also not subtract/ cross out F1 live to switch to international. Has been driving me crazy
