Sky f1

[Matt_W]

I know we have all said how we feel about sky charging us to watch f1 next year. And with the announcement of the f1 channel I started to look into how much it was going to cost me, when I see I had to have sky sports 1&2 at £12 on top of what I pay I was going to cut my nose of to spite face and out of priceable I was going to settle with the bbc's highlighted coverage. But I have just seen it is also free if you have the hd package. But if you don't have that already you may be interested in an offer they are running until the 5/12/11, free installation free hd box and £100 of m&s vouchers. So it will only cost you £20 for the years hd package.

I don't have sky but I'm ok with highlights and the BBC are doing about half the races live ESP the uk one, looking forward to 2012 but so long to wait

Or you could move you dish a couple of degrees to point at Astra 19.2 and use a freesat box to pick up German tv and listen to Ant & Dave on five live - you may even get some Seedy German tv into the bargain.

I'm sure I heard the bbc f1 commentator bloke on the chris moyles show say he will be at race and every race will be able to be viewed.

It's ironic as they took the motogp away from Eurosport and left them only able to show us the race not live and the beebs coverage was absolute pants compared to Eurosports as they did like what they do with the f1, a good show before the race and all that.


Anyway, I don't have sky sports no more but have HD and I'm with Virgin, guess I should contact them and see what the deal is.

That's good news as I really didn't want or need the sports channels

I saw that but when I went to the option to upgrade to HD I had a one off setup charge of £60 even when I choose the self install...... At that point i hit cancel.

sky are only any good if their taking money off you
once paid they don't give a dam if anything works or not and try and pass the buck
2 day of an incorrectly installed sky digital sytem i told them to take it away
it took 4 years to get sky to leave me alone after sending them a bill of £3500 for storage of faulty equipement and damage to my property whilst their muppets tried to install the system

and when i had sky anolgue before it paying the full package anything interesting you wanted to watch you had to pay again for it even though you'd already paid for the channel
i hope they fall flat on their greedy feet

Sky f1

Lets just hope Bernie añd Rupert can enjoy their retirement having done so much for people a bit less fortunate than themselves over all these years

When you have a population of muppets that will pay silly money to watch and vote for 'reality' shows then it's not suprising you can con them into paying silly money for hundreds of channels of cr@p or for lottery tickets. Those same folk never look at their monthly fees as an annual spend and how much they had to earn before tax to actually pay for it.
F1 is great. I'll miss the easy coverage on the Beeb but if folk had the simple ability to refuse to pay sky's fees then it'd come back!
