Notice there is no Fox badging on the screen?

1) get a VPN (I use Private Internet Access)

2) connect to location outside U.S. (I chose U.K.)

3) connect computer/laptop/tablet to your TV

4) imsa.tv

5) enjoy uninterrupted professionalism of everyone’s favorite Radio LeMans crew

ETA: I would also suggest using a browser that you normally never use (in my case, Microsoft Edge).

H/T to TheTurbochargedSquirrel for suggesting the Opera Browser with built-in free VPN!

Same here. Oddly, I just got a notice on smartphone that subscription ends very soon.

I’m trying Opera Browser’s built in VPN and it seems to be working well so far.

I’ve been using PIA for a couple of years now, I always use the VPN when I can.

It seems to only give me the bandwidth to do 720p but it is unlimited free VPN so I can’t really complain.

Actually 720p is what Fox Sports uses, so you’re getting broadcast quality.

Guess it went down since last year then as I had 1080p for the Rolex 24 when you used to be able to get it on IMSA TV in the US. The IMSA overlay though is super low res compared to the actual video.

Really? I was thinking about who has the video broadcast rights in the traditional sense, which is Fox in the States. Does IMSA and/or Rolex have/had broadcast rights?

IMSA has broadcast rights outside the states but they use the FOX feed for their video and add their own overlay on top in place of FOX’s overlay. In the IMSA feed you can occasionally see Fox cut to an interview. It’s similar to how F1 broadcasters all use video from the FIA world feed.
