Yes, that's the way that it used to work. However, as Liberty owns Virgin Media and VM has to pay a fee to SKY , because SKY have the broadcasting rights, to include SKYs' F1 channel on the cable feed. But, until the end of this year, VM also has the Channel 4 output but that doesn't cover all the races, etc. live.
