Surely it must be the video player they are using?
Streaming live is a whole different board game to what can be recorded locally with a camera, must rely on a lot of other factors which can be very costly.

For what it's worth, I think that this service should be available for free; not to save me a few pennies, but to open it up to the viewers that the manufacturers are in this to attract.

As far as I can see, the benefit free coverage could provide would vastly outweigh the relative pittance they will make through WRC+. WEC (another niche series) seems to have made the same decision, much to their detriment.
