Sky Sports F1 HD
Posted by marwood82
I'm sticking with the beeb for exactly the same reasons as last year. There's no point in me spending lots of money on a service which I'm going to hardly ever use.
But the writing is on the wall, there's going to be a gradual process of the beeb trying to prod it's F1 viewer base to SKY, mainly because the excectitives would rather spend millions on idiotic karaoke type programmes than F1.
It's not the presentation team which is broken, it's the actual BBC, SKY and FOM ofcourse.

Actually, Gav - didn't you want Suzi to present the F1 coverage at one point? It must be ages ago now but I remember seeing a post you made in a thread about the BBC and Murray or something.
Found it now - it was a thread from early 2008, when it was first announced that F1 would be returning to the BBC(and also about the time I first started visiting GPG regularly and posting here, hence why it must stick in my memory). But yeah, it was still from a time when all we had was the @#$%& terrible ITV coverage which centred on Steve Ryder asking Mark Blundell retarded questions.
It's easy to forget what bad times they were for F1 coverage.

Well... At £9.99 per day you could expect to pay £29.97 across three days for one Grand Prix weekend. @#$%& THAT.
When I first saw that Sky had a pay as you go offer I was mildly interested to see what it involved, then disgusted when I saw how much per day it is. I think it's actually offensive to charge that amount.
Money money money.
It's enough to make me remain a non-sky customer for a lot longer.
Disgusting prices. A 3 day weekend price is 1/5 of the regular annual TV licence price.
Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it

Do you mean this one? [www.sky.com]
If you do, then guess what... there's a catch. Those prices you said are only if you're already with Sky. If you're new to Sky, then it's 26 quid per month

I've just renewed my subscription to Vipbox.
Yep, it was sarcasm. You believe correct.
Vipbox hasn't been the most reliable for me in the past, but it's been good enough I guess. At least we don't get robbed everytime we want to use it.

Can cancel my sky sports contract next week 
Sky customers are going to get HD and 3D in 2013, us on virgin get the normal channel thats all and its not free. So they can stick it, it was crap anyway.

These retro races are a really good idea, frankly it's what I hoped they would do ever since I heard they were creating the channel.
It will be interesting to see how far back they have the rights to show, but it's good that there seems to be a mix of BBC and ITV coverage already so far.

Not enough for me to get a SKY subscription when there's F1archives.com
I don't have one either but streams work fine for me 
EDIT: But I do know what you mean, of course there's so much freedom with that site, but at the same time it's quite enjoyable having everyone watch it on Twitter or whatever and to be able to interact watching it at the same time instead of on demand.
