They can do that from the paddock with a portable TV. With the pundit doing the voiceover, the viewer wouldn't know the difference from his POV. I like technology but it has to add something tangibe, IMO, not just be glitter.

Not that it's a big deal really but the presenters do need to develop that chemistry for the Skypad to be natural.
