Sky suck!

[Jamin_00]

Long story short, just cost me £12 a month to get F1 cos Sky's service is sooo pants and just can not compare to Virgins TiVo with on demand and 120mb broadband!

The only thing that virgin need to work on now is their EPG as its the only thing that's crap compared to sky.

Wish they were in my area as sick of 4mb speeds now :(

I am on the verge of getting Virgin installed after a year of of writing to the CEO - Just signed the Wayleave forms today :)

Sky have been doing a decent job of F1 coverage, I agree I'm not too keen having to pay the £10 a month for it but it's not a bank breaker.

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole lot, Superb show plus hamy and button 1 2 :)

Just finished watching the qualifying and well chuffed to see Hamilton and Button 1/2.

Having had the HD package anyway it hasn't cost us anything more to watch it......funny hearing many of the same voices from BBC jumped over.

All I say is there better not be any bloomen adverts in the race.

Have to admit there doing a decent job - also watched the Senna film the other night on Sky really good. To see Senna in a Williams is so great, big things for him this year for sure. Pity Ruben's didn't stay in Williams this season to would have been fantastic to have the two Brazilians side by side in a Williams.

I'm stubborn: refuse to pay (and if others had principles then we'd all get it free)..
I'll see it sooner or later and I'm patient - I'd have probably watched it in my own time on the iplayer if the beeb had had it live anyway..

Virgin aren't much better if you're thinking of jumping ship.

I was planning on going freesat with a Slingbox and see how we get on with that.

Stuff Sky, conning B****.

I've found the on-line feeds and now I'm very happy to report I don't pay SKY a penny for anything.

And Bernie Eccleston is a git for selling them the rights.

So there ! (Rant over)

Is that in HD?

Since I usually work late into the night anyway, there's no way I would get up at 5 or 6 in the morning to watch live coverage anyway! I watched the BBC qualy this afternoon in HD, and enjoyed it - can't say I noticed much missing! Similarly I'll be flying tomorrow morning (rain permitting!), and watch the race after lunch.

I know not all the coverage will be as convenient or as good, but I refuse to hand a single penny to Murdoch and his cohorts. I wouldn't cross the street to p*** on him if he was on fire!

BTW, why is it that in every other country, the satellite providers have to pay to carry the national channels? Indeed, Sky pay ITV to carry their stuff. Only in the UK is the Beeb *obliged by law* to PAY Sky for the privilege of being carried on the Sky satellite!

Sky are the wealthiest broadcaster in the UK, yet the license fee - which should be being used to make locally produced programmes - is being used to subsidise Murdoch's empire!

We are all MAD!

Sadly its not in HD but I am fine with that as its free 10 races in HD & 10 in normal at a cost of a cheep dish kit.
