Anyone notice Hamilton hasn't stood with other drivers for the national anthem in the last bunch of races? Is this a new thing or just something I recently noticed?

It's a new thing that started at Mexico..the reigning WDC winner stands with the officials.

4k next year that will be awsome, will have to call telus to get a 4k box.

Apparently tsn already has 4K on Bell. Just found out during the grey cup.

So the question really is: WTF is wrong with shaw?

Is there still no way to (pay for) streaming F1 service?

At this time, no. Liberty Media's purchase of F1 will be complete sometime next year, and they're already evaluating all of the regional licensing agreements to allow them to directly sell streaming to consumers. AFAIK F1 with TSN is a yearly agreement so we should be able to get access as soon as it's available.

Bell 4K is only out east where they have Fiber coverage. ExpressVu doesn't get that. Shaw prob needs a ton of upgrades and bandwidth management to deliver 4K, so they got nothing. Telus has 4K service, you need at least Internet 50 to use it (it kills your inet speed so really you need fiber service) and there's been a shit ton of compatibility issues from what I've heard.

My guess is by the time 4K hits critical mass, we will have shifted to a streaming model and Bell/Shaw/Telus won't matter except for Internet.

Too bad, it just really rubbed me the wrong way last night with alternating advertisements from " The Grey Cup Brought to you by Shaw " and " This game delivered in 4k Ultra HD on TSN4k from Bell".

And no Lewis losing WDC and the Stamps losing the Grey Cup has NOTHING to do with my mood

At the end of the day unless cable companies can provide these luxury extra's to their customers I have no idea how long they think they will be able to justify 100-150 bucks a month in fees for shit compressed-quality 1080p and horrible interfaces.

Netflix 4k isn't really that great either ( its horribly compressed ) so they need to find the next big thing in network technology ( on both "cable" and internet ) to accommodate modern picture quality standards.

This is why i want a 4k Bluray player.
