Nothing untoward here!
I've been watching MotoGP (& WSBK !) live on Servus TV for the past few years, 
& for the past 30+ years on various "Astra" satellite channels,
only thing is the commentary is in German! (amazing how many english phrases they use tho' i.e. "Marquez is on fire!" etc.)
A couple of times many years ago, one channel , RTL I think it was, showed live coverage from outside Bushys at night! (that was interesting!)
The article suggests you may need to use a VPN if you intend to use an "app", something I've never had much use for,
 I just have my satellite dish pointing 19.2 degrees East.
