    4.2 Can I use 4Racing.tv abroad?

    4Racing.tv is available worldwide.


    4.3 What is the video quality like?


    4Racing.tv utilizes a special streaming technology known as Adaptive Bit Rate technology that automatically adapts to your Internet connection speed and your device. The higher your Internet connection speed, the better the video quality will be. If you have a high-speed Internet connection (4Mbps and higher), you will get the best video quality. If you have a low-speed Internet connection speed (1 to 2Mbps and lower), you will still be able to watch video content, but not at the best quality we provide.


    4.4 Do I pay for data when using 4Racing.tv?


    Yes. Streaming uses data. See point 5.5 below. You will pay your Internet Service Provider for data use.


    4.5 What internet line speed do I need to use 4Racing.tv?


    You will require a minimum speed of 2Mbps but we recommend a 4Mbps (or faster) line to ensure a consistent stream and a great viewing experience, especially if you have more than one user on the line or multiple devices streaming at the same time.


    4RACING’ s Adaptive Bit Rate technology automatically adapts to your Internet connection speeds and your device. Thanks to this technology, you will be able to use 4RACING at broadband speeds as low as 512kbps. Of course, the higher your Internet connection speed, the better the video quality will be.


    Of course, the higher your Internet connection speed, the better the video quality will be. In terms of managing your data spend, this is an average guide to assist you:

    • Overall, you will use an average of 900MB to 1GB of data per movie depending on your line speed - the faster the line and the higher the quality of the visuals, the more data you will use.
    • So, for example, using a 4Mbps line, a 90-minute movie will use approximately 1,5GB data, while a 30-minute episode of a TV series will use between 400MB and 600MB.*

    * This is an approximate value that provides a rough guide to data usage. Data consumption is subject to individual line utilisation.

    4.6 Can I use the same application on multiple devices at the same time?

    You can use the 4Racing.tv application on multiple devices and you can link up to five different devices to a single account with two concurrent streams.

    7.5 Video is not playing.

    Please check your Internet connection. If you do not have any Internet connection, you will see a message notifying you that you are not currently connected.


    If you have an Internet connection but you still cannot watch the video (you either have a blank screen or a loading indicator), this means that your Internet connection is too slow or poor to watch a video. Please use an Internet connection with at least a 512Mbps speed. For best results, a connection with a minimum speed of 2Mbps should be used.


    7.6 Video quality is not the best.

    This happens when you have a slow Internet connection of 512Mbps or lower. If you are using a small screen, lower quality video is sometimes tolerable. If you are using a big screen like laptop or Smart TV with a slow Internet connection, video quality may be poor, with lots of pixilation. The higher your Internet connection speed, the better the video quality will be.


    7.7 How can I transact on 4Racing.tv?

    As a 4Racing.tv customer, you will have various convenient ways to pay, including PayPal as well as voucher payments. You can also look forward to future mobile money and charge to bill options in partnerships with telcos and mobile wallet operators, with more payment options being added all the time.
