    Not sure whether if fits here, but WTF is wrong with Max Eurosport streaming starting to serve ads during TdF now? It’s going from bad to worse since GCN…

      Not sure, haven’t noticed it on Danish Max - but then it’s been on in the background, so I could easily have missed it. Where are you located?

        Slovenia. Ads are shown in main stream, here and there, not in multimonitor one. When ad is shown, going back to main page and forward to stream again, continues with stream, not with ads. Hence this is frontend crap I guess.

          It was the same in France during the Giro (I only took Max+Eurosport for one month then). On a few days, there were less than 10 minutes between two series of ads… There were also technical issues for several days, where a stream or two, depending on the day, was jerky (for every viewer, not a problem on my side).

            It’s first time I see the ads since the forced change from Eurosport player. I fear it’ll become like YouTube with huge ad blocks. To make it worse, there is no streaming alternative. Also the paragraph I posted is buried in huge TOS, not mentioned anywhere else AFAIK. There is actual mention of the ads on sport add-on webpage, but it says that the ads are there in case they are part of livestream, which is not the case here.
