A whole channel devoted to F1? Oh if only I were a richer man!

I'm sticking with the BBC. It's all I can afford to do. And I'm just thankful they didn't get rid of their coverage altogether.

You could play a rich man

I could yes, and I have done. But sadly, that won't solve my F1 coverage issues... unless I got paid very well....

Maybe add a belly dance to your repertoire and the dollar bills will rain on ya

You could be onto a winner there. If it works, I'll give you a mention in my autobiography.

A whole channel dedicated to F1 Damn it now I'm tempted!!

(Lew, if you need any help with the belly dance I can give you some tips. For starters-work on isolation excercises )

This is from the new Sky F1 page

"As the new home of Formula 1™, Sky Sports F1™ HD will take customers under the skin of the sport with a depth of coverage never offered before. Full Sky Sports & Sky HD customers will be able to watch the channel for free and enjoy:"

So does that mean if you already have SKY HD but no sky sports will you still be able to watch it? I hope so as I have SKY HD but no sports and it was the the extra £20 per month for sports that was stopping me upgrading.

EDIT

Just found the answer!

Already a Sky TV customer looking to upgrade?

Option 1. Upgrade to Sky Sports online and save £5. Terms and conditions

Option 2. Upgrade to our HD package and receive a free Sky+HD box, with free standard set up and a £100 M&S voucher. (Offer ends 30.11.11) Terms and conditions

Yes, that means you don't need SKY sports to watch F1 just the HD pack, for me personally thats a result!

And for anyone who hasn't got SKY it'll cost £30 per month, with free HD+ box (worth £250) not as bad as it could have been.

[racechick]

So ordinary sky HD will show it!!!!??? I know someone with that.....coming to live at my house With the sky stuff
Looking better.

Even if I could afford it (and I like the idea of a dedicated F1 channel as long as there is decent stuff on it), I still refuse to give that a-hole Murdoch a single penny of my hard earned cash! It's bad enough that a huge chunk of my cash goes to the BBC but Murdoch?! No effin' chance!

[LewEngBridewell]

Sky will pull a lot of fans over to them with that whole channel dedicated to F1. Very good move, especially after the uproar that still rumbles on amongst fans. Comments on the BBC website are still closed off with "NO TO SKY" all over the place.

However, it's still money I don't have. BBC for me.

[acosmichippo]

Ok, I have a dumb question. Sorry if it's already been answered.

So, the races are stopped if they go over 2 hours, right? So what is the point of a 2-hour highlight reel? Is that supposed to cover the whole weekend? If so, who gives a crap about the practices. Show a 5-10 minute highlight reel of Qualifying prior to the race (like they already do), and show the race in its entirety.

It's like they're trying to piss people off.

[andrew]

2 hour programme but you have to factor in all the boring poo from Eddie Jordan and the Lanky Tit so it'll actually be an hour of race footage. Hardly worth bothering with.

[f1boy]

The highlights will be poo imo. We don't get Australia, Canada or Monza live, but we get Spain, Valencia and Silverstone.
Whoever picked the races for the BBC isn't an F1 fan it seems. Rubbish choices, but why am I not surprised.

I doubt that the BBC had much say in what races they get to show live as SKY is paying the lions share of the broadcasting fees...

RESULT!! Already a HD customer, so that means no need for the extra £20 a month to Sky.... woop!

[f1boy]

Why are we getting 90 minute highlights for the european races and 120 minutes for the fly aways??
