The F1TV app on ROKU is HORRIBLE - like terrible. I have (2) Roku devices - a 49" TCL ROKU TV, and a External Roku 4940X device.
None of these devices can play F1TV video correctly.
The video ALWAYS freezes on the 49" TCL TV - most likely because the TCL TV CPU cannot process quick enough.
The external 4940x Roku was working but the picture is zooming in at 1080P (manually set) or putting up corrupt picture data when set to 4K.
I have (2) internet connections - the main one is 150- 225 Mbps down, 13.6 - 20Mbps up.
I have rebooted both Roku devices multiple times. I have removed the app and re-added it on the 4940x.
I have factory reset both devices as well.
What is going on at Roku? Is this on the developers at F1 TV?
F1TV added DRM (digital rights management) for 2025 and it seems to have broken everything.
If this is unable to get fixed, I am switching my streaming hardware to something else.
