How do you watch iplayer in Sweden? I thought it only worked in the UK. Do you use a fake IP address? Your posting from Sweden now.

i was about to put my righteous hat on and get all daily mail about the licence fee and it being unfair that you use our services and footage without one but... fair play, it's a licence to own a television in the uk and you're not in the uk.
as you were |

I have now suffered watching the Non BBC Races long enough with the dreadful Lazenby ,but faintly amused by the shuffling and lip biting Brundle,when the ill informed Lazenby tries his hand at interviewing.The arrival of Races fully covered by the BBC now ,means I will watch the Free Practice sessions on Sky to convince myself the Sky HD was worth it,then watch the Race with Edwards,Coulthard,and EJ together with Jake.Always good value,and I now like even better EJ in there,with all his witicisms.The Expertise in Gary Anderson,when you can hear him,puts the cherry on the top.Compare the two Productions,and it just does not work for the Sky Team,although I do watch Georgie!!!!!!!!!
Digressing,but concerning the Sky HD Box,how may out there hate the non user friendly way of pressing buttons time and time again to change channels or trawl through the other rubbish Sky pushes out to find the odd program that may be enjoyable.The old Sky system and guide with one button press and quicker operation we found much better than this one.It harps back to the real old Sky days in the early 90s |

I am happy enough with the Sky production and am pleased I could get the F1 without having to pay for the prima donna kick ballers, I think some people will never be happy whoever commentates unless they wheel old Murray Walker back out then you will be moaning when he gets it wrong when you are not laughing at him. I truly wonder what will satisfy some of you.

Not the BBC F1 coverage... but can someone help them with their article?
I was under the impression that a flywheel KERS has never been used in F1. Williams being the only team to develop one, but never used it in anger? http://www.bbc.com/future/story/2012...ng-the-wheel/1 I tried to help, but that resulted in this... Quote:

I didn't think anyone had used a flywheel KERS in race trim.
Seems that BBC link is not available in the UK (how odd!). |

Confused?
I dont see the point in getting Sky Sports F1 because you pay for it when on BBC 1, they still show the highlights or the live race. You don't miss the race at all. I dont get it? The BBC wanted to save money, so they got rid of something that millions of people watch instead of something small that not a lot of people watch, but they still show the race and qualifying? Confused?!

Maybe you mean P3. I don't think BBC have ever put P3 on iPlayer, but maybe I am wrong. By the time it is uploaded, qualifying has started so most people will be more interested in what happens in that. Viewing figures for P3 would probably be so low that it wouldn't be worth their while uploading it.

None of TV stations over here is showing F1, so I watch it on the internet, and BBC's iPlayer has the best picture quality by far (I'm very gratefull for Expat Shield, who ever made it), and now I'm worried it might be the same for the race tomorrow... |

The BBC is to save £150 million over the length of the current deal with sky for UK TV rights.
http://www.pitpass.com/46804-BBC-sav...gh-Sky-F1-deal This article also says overall viewing figures are up with BBC down but increasing in recent races. |

I have just received notification in the post of an increase in Sky fees from Sept 1st - £1.00 extra per month for the Sports package.
Not a lot, but multiply by 12 and then by the number of subscribers. So is this an acknowledgement that they're not making as much as they thought out of it? I've hardly watched the channel since the initial fuss - they simply repeat the races, and the "legends" interviews. There's nothing new, which isn't what they promised. |
